For those unfamiliar with the term "Slam", it is now in common usage by young poets to refer to group poetry readings called "poetry slams". Rabbi Sid decided to borrow the term from the poets to connote our own creative take on the welcoming of Shabbat. Check out the article on Shabbat Slam in Washington Jewish Week.
