When it came time to decide which of our holy texts to retain in our canon, Rabbi Akiva spoke for The Song of Songs. “The whole Torah is Holy,” he said,” but The Song of Songs is the Holy of Holies.” He added that “had the Torah not been given, we could live our lives by The Song of Songs.”
Through chanting and meditation, internationally acclaimed teacher, composer and spiritual guide Rabbi Shefa Gold will explore the Love essence within Shir HaShirim that goes beyond the sentimental or romantic: this love reveals the beauty that is everywhere hidden in Nature, in relationships and in the depths of our hearts. At the conclusion of the session, participants will join in a chant-based Havdalah ceremony.
This program is part of a chant-based “urban retreat” led by Rabbi Shefa Gold across the city from June 4-7. For more details on the entire retreat itinerary, visit https://www.eventcreate.com/e/shefagoldtoronto
