The Song of Songs: Love and Rebirth in Jewish Mystical Poetry
This course is no longer offered.
Alternating between male and female voices both mournful and hopeful, the Song of Songs is seen as the “holy of holies” of Jewish texts and the most important Biblical text of the Kabbalah. The book is traditionally read at the end of the Passover seder as an ode to love and rebirth. Join us in an exploration of this canonical sacred love poem.
