When was lecha dodi written

Enter, O bride. The idea of Shabbat being considered a bride was further elaborated by the Kabbalists of Tzfat towards the end of the sixteenth century, who incorporated the tradition of reciting special psalms before the start of Shabbat on Friday nights. By the twelfth century, a custom was established to recite Psalm 92 as a way of welcoming the incoming Shabbat. The group of Jewish mystics in Tzfat, however, took this practice a step further. They were known to dress in all white clothing and gather in the fields as the sun started to set on Friday evening.

They would commence their Shabbat wedding ceremony by singing six additional psalms, each one representing a different day of the week. The song itself is a beautiful compilation of passages from the Bible, references of Jerusalem, the Messiah, and the Jewish people, prophecies from Isaiah, as well as hints of Talmudic and Midrashic ideology.

There are numerous melodies that were written for this song from around the world, each tune differing slightly depending on the culture and sect of Judaism.
