The Song of Songs, שיר השירים, is known as a love song, described by our sages as the Holy of Holies. In studying Sforno’s commentary, I realized that the term “love song” doesn’t really capture the range of emotion portrayed. It isn’t a love poem either; it’s a love drama. There’s a constant ebb and flow of expressions of longing, disappointment, pleading, celebration, reminiscing, and hoping.
In You I Trust: Verses, Teachings, and Prayers of Jewish Tradition to Comfort and Inspire provides readers a meticulously translated text rich with tradition, beauty, and faith.
This unique collection of various teachings of the Jewish faith and tradition appeals to students of both Judaism and Christianity in regards to the Old Testament among other early Jewish writings.
A reflective and powerful work, these translated prayers, psalms, and teachings are broken into fourteen sections. With chapter titles such as “Exploring Trust,” “Trust in Time of Battle,” “Praying with Intent,” and “Prayers During Health and Illness,” readers have a map in which to seek counsel, relief, to express joy, and explore their own faith.
