Be Like A Gazelle

On Shabbos-Pesach (which fell out on the 7th day this year) we read from Shir Hashirim, The Song of Songs. The following was taken from the introduction to the Yalkut Me'am Lo'ez on Shir Hashirim, translated and adapted by Dr. Zvi Faier:

In chains
She sang
The Song of Songs.

Who?

The soul.

The soul of my people.

But even as the eyes of the Raya-Israel are riveted on the veil that conceals the Divine Presence, the Beloved "stands behind our wall, looking through the windows, peering through the lattices."

"Be like a gazelle." Just as a gazelle may race to the ends of the world, but always returns to her place of origin, so the Jewish people will all return from the lands of their dispersion.
