Lesson summary AI-generated
- A lesson on Shir HaShirim 1:13–14, learned with Rashi: “My beloved is to me a bundle of myrrh”, and a cluster of henna flowers.
- Rashi places the verses in the story of the Jewish people: after the crossing of the sea, at the giving of the Torah, and the sin of the golden calf.
- The verses are read as God speaking positively about the Jewish people: He does not mention the bad odor of the sin but the fragrance of what we did well.
- Fragrance as an image: it surrounds a person and is felt from afar, like God’s presence and the many kindnesses He did for us.
