Allegorical Interpretation of the Song of Songs - DT Passover
Today I would like to talk about lessons from the Passover story as can be learned from the Song of Songs. First, though, I would like to give a brief introduction to the book itself.

Blood - Aharei Mot DT Dannin
References to blood appear at least sixty-five times in the Torah, and more, depending on how you do the counting and excluding references to menses. In this parashah, it appears primarily in connection with sacrifices (Lev.16:14-15, 16:18-19, 16:27, 17:3-6).
