אֲנִ֣י חוֹמָ֔ה וְשָׁדַ֖י כַּמִּגְדָּל֑וֹת אָ֛ז הָיִ֥יתִי בְעֵינָ֖יו כְּמוֹצְאֵ֥ת שָׁלֽוֹם׃ (פ)

I am a wall, And my breasts like the towers thereof; Then was I in his eyes As one that found peace.

Ezra ben Solomon on Song of Songs

The Community of Israel answers, I am a wall and my breasts are like towers: She takes pride that she will be like a fortified wall, holding firmly to her faith in the two Torahs, written and oral, which are an individual’s vitality, just as the breasts provide vitality to the infant.
