To further muddy the waters:
Which way do you face for the last verse of Lekhah Dodi?

My take is that the original cadre saying it in Tzefat would have turned
90 deg, from facing south to west.

R' Moshe Cordevero's Shaar haKavanos says that the Queen is greeted
when facing west because the Shechinah is om the west. Nothing about
the back of the shul, facing the door, etc... 

GCT!
