How does Shir ha-Shirim (the Song of Songs) help us relate to our relationship with God? Can human relationships contribute to a deepening of our relationship with the Divine? We examine the motif of the Garden of Eden within Shir ha-Shirim and look at the story of Gan Eden in Bereisheet along with references from other books to Gan Eden to appreciate how Shir Hashirim relates to, and attempts to repair, what happened in Gan Eden.
