This is a very special Shabbos as it is the Shabbos that is in the week of Pesach.On this Shabbos we read the beautiful Shir Ha Shirim,King Solomon's Song of Songs.
On the surface,Shir Ha Shirim looks like a beautiful work of love that Solomon writes for one so beloved to him.I have no doubt that this is partly what is is,a beautiful that l woman that is the one special Neshoma that King Solomon searched for and never found.Each of us have a special Bashert,a soul-mate that truly compliments us in the deepest and most loving of ways.A soul that is so much a part of our own,that it is as though we were Created together as one .
King Solomon's words are beyond beautiful and so is the true and sweet long lasting love of one's soul mate.
As I said,Shir Ha Shirim was not just written for the love a man has for a women.There is a depth to this beautiful work that goes to the very centre of one's being.At the very centre of one's being is HaShem and so is the sweet reason for Shir Ha Shirim that King Shlomo wrote,as a love song to HaShem and His Beautiful Holy Temple,where we are to serve HaShem in love,devotion and faithfulness.
The very description of King Solomon's words for HaShem show a deep love for HaShem.this is the love for HaShem that we are all to have and feel.
HaShem does so much for us to ensure that we continue living with the Universe around us ,all in its place where it needs to be,to do the greatest good for all things.
HaShem's love for each one of us stretches beyond the Universe to the length and breadth of all there is,just so that we can exist.So of course we owe HaShem the deepest love,devotion and faithfulness.
But what is love?It is not just that which makes us happy and content.Love is selfless.Love is putting that which we love,totally before ourselves and our own wishes.Love is doing for the one we love and not ourselves.This is true love.This is how love should be between a man and a woman and certainly this is how our love should be for HaShem .We need to learn to put our own wants and wishes aside and to focus  totally on HaShem's wishes,even though they are actually for our own benefit and for the benefit of all around us.So Selfless and Wonderful is HaShem.
What better a time,then to read this faithfulness of love that we are to give HaShem,then in the very festival of Pesach,where we owe HaShem so much love ,devotion and faithfulness,for all that HaShem did for us at this time,in setting us free and all HaShem does for us now and all HaShem will do for us.
Love and selflessness in giving,is one of the very essences of HaShem and at this time when HaShem literally changed the very natural pattern of this world,to bring about miracles that saved us,this is the very time to show our love of and to HaShem and to hope with all our might to come close to HaShem in His Holy Temple.
We must let our selfless love show for HaShem in all we do for HaShem and for everyone we meet and with every creature that HaShem Created and with everything that HaShem makes and will make and in also doing what HaShem wants us to do and we are to learn to put our own feelings aside.
If only true love could come and be a part of this world,then this world will reach the heights it is supposed to reach and Hashem will sweetly be among us again,walking and talking with us as HaShem did in Gan Eiden ,for this is how love should be.
With love HaShem I wish You a beautiful Holy Shabbos Kodesh and Chag Pesach Sameach with deepest love and to all of you  a beautiful and Holy Shabbos Kodesh and Pesach with love.I love you HaShem.
