About
L’chu n’ran’nah! Come, let us sing!
This phrase from the first of the Kabbalat Shabbat psalms invites us to honor and celebrate Shabbat with song and blessing. This bencher extends that invitation by presenting liturgies for the blessings after the meal, kiddush for Shabbat and Festivals, z’mirot, and popular songs, in an attractive user-friendly format.
