Description

"The Annotated Bible" Collection: French version of the famous American ArtScroll collection

It would be wrong or blasphemous to reduce the Shir HaShirim to a mere song. Therefore, Rabbi Akiva went so far as to call it the Holy of Holies.

In what does this sanctity reside? What then is the meaning of the most sacred poem composed by the wisest of men?

This is what the first annotated French translation reveals. Faithful to the allegory which, as our masters perceived, constitutes the true and only meaning of this work, this commentary is a true reflection of Rabbi Akiva's vision.
