Sabbath Eve Prayers and Zemiros

A book of prayers and zemiros for congregational use on Friday nights. Congregation Kodimoh, Springfield, Mass. Compiled and prepared by Rabbi Norman Lamm with the assistance of Rev. Herman B. Abramson. Progress Press, Springfield, Mass. Dedicated by Mr. Nathan Genden and his children to the everlasting memory of their beloved wife and mother, Mrs. Anna Genden, 1897 – 1956.1 THE SABBATH PSALM It is good to give thanks unto the Lord, And to sing praises unto Thy name, O Most High; To declare Thy loving-kindness each morning, And Thy faithfulness every night, With an instrument of ten strings, And with the psaltery, With exalted music upon the harp. For Thou, O Lord, hast made me rejoice in Thy work; I will glory in the works of Thy hands. How great are Thy deeds, O Lord! Thy thoughts are very deep. The ignorant man does not know, Neither does a fool understand this— That when the wicked spring up like the grass And when the workers of iniquity flourish, It is only that they may be destroyed forever. But the righteous shall flourish as the palm tree, Growing mighty as a cedar in Lebanon. Planted in the house of the Lord, They shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; They shall be full of strength and vigor, To praise the Lord for His justice, Our Rock in whom there is no unrighteousness. The Lord reigneth; He is clothed in majesty; The world is set firm that it cannot be moved. Thy throne, O Lord, is established from of old; Thou art from everlasting. The floods lift up, O Lord, The floods lift up their roaring. Above the voices of many waters, Above the breakers of the sea, Supreme art Thou, O Lord! Thy testimonies are very sure; Holiness becometh Thy house, Lord, for evermore.2 L’CHOH DODEE לכה דודי לקראת כלה, פני שבת נקבלה. לכה דודי לקראת כלה, פני שבת נקבלה. שמור וזכור בדבור אחד השמיענו אל המיוחד; יי אחד ושמו אחד לשם ולתפארת ולתהלה. לכה דודי לקראת כלה, פני שבת נקבלה. לקראת שבת לכו ונלכה כי היא מקור הברכה; מראש מקדם נ…

The Late Friday Service in the Light of Halacha, Part 1 (1956)

The institution of Late Friday Services in American Synagogues, even in a number of otherwise strongly Orthodox ones, is a comparatively recent phenomenon. It is for that reason that, to my knowledge, the matter has not yet been analyzed with a view to testing its Halachic permissibility and, as a result, recommending either its acceptance, rejection or modification. Yet the introduction of this innovation into our own synagogues places upon us the responsibility, which we cannot escape, of developing just such a critique. This problem to which we address ourselves, like others of its kind on the contemporary scene, must be treated on two levels: the purely Halachic and the “trans-nalachic.” By the latter term I mean those matters which cut across technical lines, and are questions of policy that are primarily subjective value judgements in which we look at the picture in its totality, and take into consideration such elements of basic principle and public psychology as Pritzas Geder, Eis Laasois the comparative worth of Tefiloh Betzibor and שינוי מטבע שטבעו חכמים. While the purely Halachic issues require more scholarship, these trans-halachic matters call for more wisdom, and will ultimately be as decisive as the purely Halachic in determining our future practice. Of course, this dichotomy cannot be taken too literally, for the Halacha must necessarily deal with these larger “gestalt” issues as well, in the formulation of a final decision. But in this study I shall attempt to concentrate, insofar as possible, on the Halachic material per se. I shall do so, of course, without attempting to be comprehensive or presuming to offer my Psak. This is merely a first attempt to present some of the aspects of the problem for consideration. Description and Origin of Problem: The Late Friday Service is usually held during the winter months, when candle lighting takes place in the early afternoon. At about 8 or 8:30 P.M., the Kabolas Shabos and Maariv is held. This may be eith…
