Free book talk: Rabbi Segal: The Song of Songs (March 1 at 11:00pm)
Benjamin Segal on tour for The Song of Songs: A Woman in Love .
This Sunday (March 1) morning at 11 AM Rabbi Benjamin J. Segal will talk about his latest book "The Song of Songs: A Woman in Love" at Congregation Beth Ami. A few words about the book: A love poem as old as the Bible, as contemporary as today… One love poem–the Bible’s Song of Songs – continues ... (more)to be read and to inspire after thousands of years. Using the best of biblical scholarship and sharp literary analysis, Benjamin Segal’s new translation and commentary reveal a picture of ideal love so appealing that it became for centuries the monotheistic model of human-divine attachment. Here one also finds a rare ancient effort to capture the female voice. Segal’s literary analysis captures the pulsating rhythm of the poem, and allows the reader to confront its ever-contemporary and challenging view of love. The event is free and all is welcome.
