Late Friday Night Services

As a youngster even to recent times, the non-Orthodox congregations held their Friday night services comfortably after supper, typically at 8PM. They took their chances on competition with the network schedule, That Was the Week that Was in the 1960s, Dallas in the 1970s, all prior to the VCR so gone once missed. Despite cultural competition, for many shabbos had a priority, or maybe immersion in one’s kehillah did. Bat Mitzvot, including my sister’s, took place on Friday night. In many ways, it was an adaptation to reality, or maybe taking advantage of an opportunity to connect those who would be taking the boys to Little League on Saturday to the congregation.
