Very good lesson. Interesting how Shabbat means He Rested. ... and the word Shekinah denotes when the Presence of the Lord “rested” in the sanctuary..... A paragraph in the Zohar starts: "One must prepare a comfortable seat with several cushions and embroidered covers, from all that is found in the house, like one who prepares a canopy for a bride. For the Shabbat is a queen and a bride. This is why the masters of the Mishna used to go out on the eve of Shabbat to receive her on the road, and used to say: 'Come, O bride, come, O bride!' And one must sing and rejoice at the table in her honor ... one must receive the Lady with many lighted candles, many enjoyments, beautiful clothes, and a house embellished with many fine appointments ..." The tradition of the Shekhinah as the Shabbat Bride, the Shabbat Kallah, continues to this day
