This shiur is delivered to a group of women in Luxurs. The great holiness and importance of Shir Hashirim (Song of Songs). Shir Hashirim talks to the part of us that still wants to be a child of Hashem. By loving other Jews, we come to love Hashem. How a baby expands his circle of love from his mother to his family, and then to the rest of the world. We are able to move out of our selfish selves by focusing on our family. A frightening quote from Rebbe Tzadok: there will be a time when people will be able to travel to the corners of the world, but they will not know what is in themselves. Why are there so many problems within the youth of our generation? The self centeredness of our generation. The problem with life being too perfect. How can I eat when there is war in Israel? We all think we are G-d. The therapeutic effect of visiting nursing homes and caring for invalids. Giving triggers love. Shir Hashirim is the song of Hashem, and this song encompasses songs of the entire world. The love between husband and wife is a parable for the love between us and Hashem. Rebbe Akiva returned to Hashem because of his attachment to his wife. The terrible story of one twin losing the other in a concentration camp.
