Growing up I always sang a song titled “What do you like about
Shabbat?” People would have to fill the answer to this question and
sing everyone’s responses. People would usually say answers like “The
Challah” The Candles” The Wine” etc. All of these things are great,
but my favorite part about Shabbat has always been the traditions.
Being with family and friends, chanting prayers, hearing words of
Torah, and singing songs is what Shabbat is all about.
Celebrating Shabbat at Chabad is always special. Walking into the warm atmosphere makes me feel like I am at home. One of my favorite traditions at
Chabad is singing Shalom Aleychem. As soon as Rabbi Zev begins to sing
these words I know that Shabbat is in full force! Sammy Shabbat is one
of my favorite nights of the year. Enjoying Shabbat with all of my
fraternities bothers is so special. This is a night where we can all
share our traditions, and make new ones too.
