I said: ‘I will climb up into the palm-tree, I will take hold of the branches thereof; and let thy breasts be as clusters of the vine, And the smell of thy countenance like apples;
Rashi on Song of Songs
I said, I will ascend the palm tree. I boast of you among the heavenly hosts, that I will be exalted and sanctified through your actions in the earthly abodes, when you will sanctify My Name among the nations.
Ezra ben Solomon on Song of Songs
I say: Let me climb the palm: Israel said: “Although sin has caused separation [between God and myself], I planned to ascend to greatness through the merit of the shekhinah who is compared to a palm tree.”
Rashi on Song of Songs
I will grasp its branches. And I will grasp and cleave to you; “סַנְסִנִּים” are branches.
