The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.
Let's have a look and see what we can learn. We're going to today today tomorrow maybe even Thursday see how long it spills over but we're going to look at Kabbalat Shabbat. Kabbalat Shabbat is a a rather unique prayer that we've got because really Kabbalat Shabbat is preparation for davening Maariv for davening the evening service. And we don't we don't have that anywhere else. You know, during the rest of the week if you want to daven Maariv so you just start with Baruchu and get going, right? You want to daven Mincha you just Ashrei and the Amidah and get going but all of a sudden over here we've got a whole series of prayers that are being recited which are supposed to be bringing us to the point where we're ready to daven Maariv the way that we're supposed to. Right to accept Shabbat. So, let me ask you a question. I know it's not fair and especially questions that are centered around davening because you know, for those who do daven it's like it's enough that I daven. Why do you want me to know what I'm saying as well? That's outrageous, right? But nevertheless, let's see let's see what we can come up with. Um Patrick No no cheating. I heard that little Velcro tear over there. Right and I knew I knew exactly what you were I knew exactly what you were going to do. Um let's have a look and see in in the in the uh the build-up before we get to Lecha Dodi which is a song which is sung inside of Kabbalat Shabbat. Does anybody know how many chapters of Tehillim are recited? How many chapters of Psalms are recited? Wow. That was that was I mean first of all
