On Friday nights, although she wasn’t keeping Shabbos Evening and Sunday appointments
yet and would not go with her religious friends to shul,
Shaindel also couldn’t bring herself to hang out in bars or go DDeeaa
out to the movies. Instead, she would sit in her apartment
and paint. “I couldn’t figure what to do with the obvious shift
in time upon the arrival of Shabbos,” Shaindel explains, and wwaassa
then describes how she broke her own rules about becoming hhoomme
religious. One of her friends in Nachlaot asked her time after
time to join her for Friday night kabbalas Shabbos. Shaindel tatabblele
finally agreed and went along to Rabbi Raz Hartman’s V’ani
Tefila shul, where she felt a deep connection resonate within hhoomme
her. “They sing everything; there’s this beautiful harmony, an
orchestra of tefila. I was blown away. I had never experienced wwhhicich
anything like that before. It was so moving, and I just knew
that that was what I needed.” This was the beginning of her flfolowwe
