All of Scripture is holy, but the Song of Songs is holiest - and most cryptic. The MALBIM's multi-layered commentary, first published in 1857, is his most passionate masterpiece, that blends Zohar, Immanuel Kant, Maimonides and Lurianic kabbalah in a dazzling display of poetic creativity, unmatched in rabbinic literature. Had the Malbim published nothing but this, his commentary to the Song of Songs, his reputation as a major Parshan of the Torah - Biblical Exegesis - would have been assured. It is a rare gem.This is the first time it is being presented to the English reader. J. Hershy Worch is well know for his other popular translations: Sacred Fire: Torah from the Years of Fury 1939-42. Sefer Yetzira: Chronicles of Desire, and Mei HaShiloach - Izbicy Torah.
