Comment
The Song of Songs is perhaps the most sublime love poem ever written. Attributed to King Solomon, the Song of Songs is regarded as a conversation between the Jewish People and God and an expression of God's deep and eternal love for Israel. Some take the poems at face value, as expressions of the innocent human love of shepherds and shepherdesses in the bosom of nature. All agree on the beauty of its poetry. The "Fox and Vineyard" Commemorative Coin is fifth in the "Flora and Fauna from the Song of Songs" Series. "Catch us the foxes, the little foxes that ruin the vineyards - for our vineyard is in blossom" (Song of Songs 2:15). This passage evokes an enchanting image of the Land of Israel with its vineyards in full bloom and cunning foxes running in and out of the paths.Interesting fact
