Shir Hashirim in Hebrew
Also known as the Song of Songs or Song Of Solomon, and it is included in the Ketuvim section of the Tanakh. It is a poetic book in the Hebrew Bible using romantic and sensual language that tells the story of a love affair between a man and a woman, often interpreted metaphorically as an allegory for the relationship between G-d and Israel.
The book is traditionally read by Jews during the holiday of Passover, and it is seen as an important spiritual development tool
that enables one to connect and develop a deeper relationship with G-d.
Shir Hashirim “has been interpreted on many levels, and has been used as a source of inspiration for mystical works, Biblical commentaries, and erotic poetry, among other things.” It remains a beloved and influential text for both religious and secular readers alike.
