Thus, sometimes Shabbat may begin at a later hour in the evening, as it does during Daylight Savings Time months in the summer. However, when Shabbat honestly begins much earlier -- e.g., in the "4:30'ish" or "5:00'ish" zone of late afternoon, as it does during the winter months of Standard Time -- we recognize that it honestly devolves on us as Observant Jews to adjust our personal Friday workday schedules to accommodate the earlier arrival of Shabbat. Thus, we leave work earlier on Fridays so that Shabbat does not have to arrive first, waiting to welcome us. Rather, as in the lyrics of L'cha Dodi, Jews arrive timely to welcome and greet the approaching Shabbat -- thus the term, Kabbalat Shabbat.
We recognize that this defining aspect of normative Orthodox Judaism is a brand-new concept in Orange County and breaks with a quarter century's practice of Irvine Orthodox shuls offering their congregants Friday night services year-round at 6:00 or 6:30 pm, often in complete dissonance from and utter disregard for Jewish tradition. But kindly be advised that Young Israel's policy is normative Orthodox Jewish practice throughout the world outside of Irvine. And we know it will "catch on" in Orange County, too!
Thus, we are proud to be "the Shul in Irvine that begins Shabbat . . . when Shabbat begins."
