Listen now
Description
The relationship between Hashem and His people is portrayed dramatically in the Song of Songs, a parable about love, which ends with a climactic trial: is the woman (Knesses Yisrael) faithful – a "wall" – or not? Did the nation pass this great trial or did it fail? What are the ramifications for how we understand our state of exile today, and how we should act vis-à-vis Eretz Yisrael and redemption?
