(יא) נֹ֛פֶת תִּטֹּ֥פְנָה שִׂפְתוֹתַ֖יִךְ כַּלָּ֑ה דְּבַ֤שׁ וְחָלָב֙ תַּ֣חַת לְשׁוֹנֵ֔ךְ וְרֵ֥יחַ שַׂלְמֹתַ֖יִךְ כְּרֵ֥יחַ לְבָנֽוֹן׃
(11) Sweetness drops From your lips, O bride; Honey and milk Are under your tongue; And the scent of your robes Is like the scent of Lebanon.
The midrash on Song of Songs - now newly translated on Sefaria! - reads this verse as referring to the sweetness of Torah. Here are some of the learning and teaching opportunities Sefaria has in mind to sweeten your Shavuot experience.
- Sefaria has resources for every audience and interest. Torah Talks delves into great Shavuot texts in conversations with celebrities; Dairy on Shavuot explores the culinary highlights of the holiday, and Shavuot on Sefaria is full of lesson plans and activities that can be adapted for any age group.
- Teaching about the book of Ruth? Don't forget about Sefaria's recently released new translation of Ruth Rabbah, the midrash on the book of Ruth — and sign up for our guided email tour of this midrash. Or, review the book of Ruth with a scavenger hunt that will take your students on a fun tour of the story and Sefaria's resources.
- Sweeten Your Torah Toolkit - Hadar's Children and Families division and Sefaria are teaming up for an interactive and resource-filled session about teaching and learning Torah! Did you know that you can find the children's magazine Devash on Sefaria? We'll go behind-the-scenes to share some of the philosophy driving Devash's pedagogic goals and share tips and tricks for using each part of the magazine with different ages and in a variety of settings - including best practices for leveraging Sefaria's digital tools while teaching these materials.
