When to Read Song of Songs?
Question
Hello esteemed Rabbi, is it permissible to read Song of Songs in the month of Tishrei on Yom Kippur, Rosh Hashanah, and Rosh Chodesh? If so, during what hours, and will this count toward the 40 days of reading? If it is forbidden on these days, should one skip them and continue the 40 days? I would appreciate it if you could elaborate on the reading, as I am not familiar with it and I am eager to know more since this is really urgent. Thank you.
Answer
Greetings,
You may read Song of Songs at all the times you mentioned; however, it is preferable not to read it at night. Nevertheless, on Shabbat and Yom Tov, it is permissible to read it at night without concern.
Wishing you a good and blessed year,
Hillel Meirs
