Welcoming Shabbat with Lecha Dodi at Temple Beth El in Hollywood, Florida

Temple Beth El of Hollywood, Florida opened its doors in 1957 when its first service was held in a meeting room of the Hollywood Beach Hotel. At that time, the congregation boasted approximately two dozen families, all of whom had a vision - a traditional Reform congregation in the heart of Hollywood. Through the generosity and dedication of several of these families, Temple Beth El became a reality and grew into the focal point of Reform Judaism in southern Broward County.

Last week the congregation had a Bluegrass Shabbat and their Kabbalat Shabbat service inluded a version of Lecha Dodi in the style of John Denver's Country Roads.

We've been welcoming Shabbat in many ways, and today is no different.

Enjoy, and Shabbat shalom!
