A Hashkivenu for MLK Weekend Shabbat - Bayit: Building Jewish

These words from the Rev. Martin Luther King z”l (of blessed memory) can be used as an abbreviated Hashkivenu blessing for Kabbalat Shabbat on this MLK weekend or at any time. I’m planning to read his words together in unison, and then lead the community in singing Ufros Aleinu to seal the message in our souls and in our hearts. — R. Rachel Barenblat
