The Song of Songs: Exploring the Landscape of Love
"The whole Torah is Holy," says Rabbi Akiva, "but The Song of Songs is the Holy of Holies." Furthermore, he said, "had the Torah not been given, we could live our lives by The Song of Songs." What would it mean to place this erotic, sensual, sexually explicit and most beautiful poem at the center of our tradition? What would it mean to live our lives by The Song of Songs? Enter into the landscape of this sacred song through chant, meditation, study and the contemplation of our path as lovers. Your guides will be Rabbi Shefa Gold and Rabbi David Ingber. Rabbi Shefa Gold is the director of C-DEEP, The Center for Devotional, Energy and Ecstatic Practice in Jemez Springs, New Mexico. Rabbi David Ingber is the rabbi and founder of Kehillat Romemu in New York City. Evening co-sponsored by Kehillat Romemu.
