Boi Kallah

This old Camp favorite entered my mind the other day. Can't find a link to the whole song, but here's a snippet for you from Brooklyn-based Jewish singer and educator Shira Kline.

A transliteration of the Hebrew is: Boi Kallah/Lecha dodi, likrat kala, p’ney shabbat n'kablah which means "Welcome the bride. Come my beloved, my bride." It's a Shabbat song, welcoming the "Sabbath bride," or Shekhinah, the divine presence of god, to consecrate the Sabbath. Fascinating metaphor, to welcome god as a "bride" and in a feminine form. Anyone know more about this concept?
