Thread Name: Lyr Req: Hasidic song Lechah Dodi
Subject: Hasidic song Lechah Dodi
This came from a friend: This from Pocketful of Miracles, May 4, by Joan Borysenko: "The Hasidim, a mystical sect of Jews that began in Europe in the mid-18th Century, celebrated their union with God in song, in dance, and in the ecstatic joy of waiting all week long for the coming of the Divine Feminine -- the Shekhinah -- whom they would welcome as a spiritual love, the Sabbath Queen. During spring and summer, they would go out into the fertile, growing fields of corn on Friday evening and welcome the Sabbath Queen with the love song 'Lechah Dodi', which thrills my soul when I hear or sing it."

Does anyone know where I could hear "Lechah Dodi?"
