About this episode
This is a scene of missed opportunities; as after a period of (apparent) separation, the beloved comes looking for the woman, but she fails to understand and appreciate the moment, the opportunity, and the couple don't achieve reunion. Hazal speak of this scene as the lackadaisical response to Cyrus's invitation to rebuild the Second Temple. But possibly it refers to any moment in which we are too lazy to respond to God's summons.
