Rabbi Tzvi Sinensky will speak at Congregation Rinat Yisrael on Labor Day, September 2, at 8:45am, on the topic of “Ani le-Dodi ve-Dodi Li: A New Reading of Shir Ha-Shirim for the Month of Elul.”

What did the Rabbis have in mind when they connected Elul and this phrase from Shir Ha-Shirim? A novel reading of Shir Ha-Shirim offers new insight into the meaning of the month of Elul.

Rabbi Sinensky is the director of interdisciplinary learning and educational outreach, Rae Kushner Yeshiva High School, editor of The Lehrhaus, and a doctoral candidate in Jewish Philosophy, Bernard Revel Graduate School.
