Take the Kabbalat Shabbat Quiz

6... not bad for someone who knows next to nothing about the topic. so far I only know what I've heard in passing in conversation. Where can I go to learn more? Reply

I got 8 out of 10 correct. I've taken this quiz once before, but now comment was not shown. Reply

10/10 ! Thank you, Rav. You really do test our knowledge... May Moishiach come soon!!! Reply

😭 RABBI 6/10 thank you Reply

You can tell I am a woman! I know what to do in the home and when for Shabbat, but I rarely get to Kabbalat Shabbat. Too busy getting everything ready and checking when to light candles. It is pretty hectic in the wintertime, but oh, that moment of peace when we light the candles. Reply

Love these quizzes and everything y’all do! Very blessed to have you all and all you do. Thank you and Moshiach now! :) prayers for Israel and the Jewish people and all who need! Reply

In the link to that question it says only that we turn around. I was surprised that more wasn't said. The "Front" of the Shul the Aron HaKodesh is toward Jerusalem, so East or West or ...
Most (All?) Shuls are built with the enterance ... the door in the back.
We start looking toward the Front & Jerusalem.
If we turn around we face THE DOOR where we come in and picture the Kallah Shabbat (or Moshiach) coming in to greet us. That is my understanding ... what I was taught.
Turning around could also be 360° so I am surprised not more was mentioned.

Why west ? Doesn't it depend were is Jerusalem relatively to your location? Reply

Re: question 7
The custom is to turn to the west for the final stanza of בואי בשלום.
The ending בואי כלה is said three times. Once while nodding the head to the right, then once nodding to the left and then to turn back facing east, bow and say בואי כלה שבת מלכתא Reply
