Freedom to Love - The Song of Songs in Biblical, Rabbinic, Mystical, and Modern Perspectives.
Jonah Chanan Steinberg
The biblical Song of Songs is a vivid and sensual book that challenges ancient boundaries and defies traditional constraints. The interpretive tradition around the Song of Songs has enabled the book to be a mainstay of Jewish tradition for centuries. In these four sessions, incorporating a rich array of sources, we will explore the Song of Songs in its biblical context; in classical rabbinic interpretations; in the Jewish mystical tradition; and in present-day readings.
