Song of Songs 8:13 Commentary: Rashi & Ezra ben Solomon

הַיוֹשֶׁ֣בֶת בַּגַּנִּ֗ים חֲבֵרִ֛ים מַקְשִׁיבִ֥ים לְקוֹלֵ֖ךְ הַשְׁמִיעִֽינִי׃

Thou that dwellest in the gardens, The companions hearken for thy voice: ‘Cause me to hear it.’

Rashi on Song of Songs

You who sit in the gardens. The Holy One, Blessed Is He, says to the congregation of Yisroel, “You, who are scattered in exile, grazing in the gardens of strangers and sitting in synagogues and study halls.”
