Book Summary
Shir Hashirim, "The Song of Songs" is the fifth work in Kravitz and Olitzky's series of modern commentaries on fundamental Jewish texts. In this work, the authors juxtapose their own translation of this biblical text next to the original Hebrew. Their line-by-line analysis, which draws upon classic commentaries such as Rashi, Ibn Ezra, and Gersonides, as well and contemporary scholars and essays, examines how "The Song of Songs" can be read as a love story between God and the people Israel.
