Someone already mentioned it, but if people try to equate sex w/sin, or Original sin, I don't know how they rationalize Song of Solomon.

Whatever is said in Latin sounds profound.
I believe in the One who says there is life after this.
Now tell me how much more open can my mind be?

That's how.on [url=beta.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/483802/jewish/When-do-we-read-the-Song-of-Songs.htm]chabad.org[/url] it is wrote:When do we read the Song of Songs?
There are a number of customs; here are a few:
Many have the custom to read the Song of Songs on the Shabbat of the intermediate days of Passover before the morning Torah reading. If there is no Shabbat during the "intermediate days," then the Song of Songs is read on the morning of the Seventh Day of Passover.
The Song of Songs talks of the love between husband and wife -- an analogy for the passionate love between G‑d, the supernal groom, and His beloved bride Israel. This "romance" began to bloom and flower when He descended to take His bride out of Egypt on Passover.
Following the same reasoning, many read the Song of Songs after the Passover Seder.
There a custom among many Sephardim to chant the Song of Songs every Friday night before the evening service. Many chassidim read the Song of Songs every Friday afternoon, in preparation for the holy Shabbat.

"Wow, is this really in the Bible?"
(timely, given that this series on the Song of Solomon is going on right ...now.)
"People without hope not only don't write novels, but what is more to the point, they don't read them.
They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."
-Flannery O'Connor
"In spite of much that militates against quietness there are people who still read books. They are the people who keep me going."
