The Song of Songs also known as the Song of Solomon Canticles or the Canticle of Canticles is one of the "scrolls" megillot of the Writings Ketuvim the last section of the Tanakh or Hebrew Bible. It is also the fifth book of Wisdom in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. In Sephardic Jewish tradition the Song of Songs is read every Friday night for the divine loving union they see in it; Ashkenazim chant it on the Sabbath during Passover marking the beginning of the grain harvest and commemorating the Exodus from Egypt. Scripturally the Song of Songs is unique in its celebration of sexual love. It gives "the voices of two lovers praising each other yearning for each other proffering invitations to enjoy". The "daughters of Jerusalem" form a chorus to the lovers functioning as an audience whose participation in the lovers' erotic encounters facilitates the participation of the reader. Jewish tradition reads it as an allegory of the relationship between God and Israel. Christian tradition in addition to appreciating the literal meaning of a love song between man and woman has read the poem as an allegory of Christ and his "bride" the Christian Church. hardcover
