Meet the Pamphlets: Das Hohelied (1937)

The Leo Baeck Institute London is pleased to present Das Hohelied, a booklet published in 1937 by the Jewish Community of Berlin for Passover. This pamphlet features the original text of the Song of Songs alongside a lyrical translation, with the hope that ‘this biblical jewel might inspire joy and deepen religious meaning among both young and old’. 

Accompanying the text is a report on the community’s work and commitments, together with an appeal for donations, emphasising that no one should have to observe Passover without a Seder meal and matzot.

We have also made this pamphlet available to view online as a flipbook at  https://lbilondon.ac.uk/flipbooks/hohelied/
