FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS

and DAVENING TIMES

(January 2012-- January 2013) 

Please Note: It is the long-held practice of Young Israel not to conduct a "Kabbalat Shabbat" service that begins long after the proper time to welcome and begin the Holy Shabbat.  We are the only Orthodox congregation in Irvine that follows this Orthodox practice. Thus, sometimes Shabbat may begin later in the evening, as it does during Daylight Savings Time.  However, when Shabbat begins much earlier -- e.g., in the late afternoon, as it does during the months of Standard Time -- it becomes incumbent upon us to adjust our personal Friday workday schedules to accommodate the earlier arrival of the Holy Shabbat.  For example, we leave work earlier so that Shabbat does not have to arrive first and wait to welcome us.  Rather, we arrive timely to welcome the arrival of Shabbat: i.e., Kabbalat Shabbat.  This is normative Orthodox Jewish practice throughout the world, and it has been our honor to be the first shul to bring this aspect of Orthodox Judaism to Irvine, California.
