Why is it that everyone stands for the chasan and kallah at a wedding,
but so few of us have a minhag to stand for Lekha Dodi? There we have
a kalah, and in some nusachos, she is identified with "Shabbas Malkesa".

(I just noticed the femanine form, as opposed to the girsa in shas
we discussed in the past that had "Shabbos Malka", with an alef, in the
masculine.)

Tir'u baTov!
