Question
Hello,
Is it permissible to sing songs from the Song of Songs? Songs of holiness such as -
"King Solomon made himself a palanquin... Its interior is paved with love" (Mordechai Ben David)
Is it necessary to purify the words, and is it permissible to teach children such songs?
I would appreciate the rabbi's opinion on this matter.
Best regards
Answer
Hello
There is no problem singing verses from the Song of Songs, unless they are used for songs of frivolity or jest, but if sung with the intention of devotion and closeness to God, it is permitted.
