November 19 Meeting features Rabbi Ita Paskind on "The Song of Songs"

Hi everyone! We've talked a little about Rabbi Akiba who used the phrase "Song of Songs" for the book of the Bible we've been studying -- with the same kind of implication we would have if we said "this is the book of all books,  or the "Lord of Lords".  To my delight, Rabbi Ita Paskind of Congregation Olam Tikvah in Vienna has agreed to come to our next meeting to talk about the text of the Song of Songs and its importance in Judaism.   Rabbi Paskind was with us several years ago and we had a great time learning from her and talking with her.  I am really looking forward to this and hope you'll make a point of coming if you can.  It should be a real treat.
