Shir hashirim (Song of Songs 1: 1-4)
A brief excerpt from the Song of Songs (1:1-4) that is recited in the Spanish-Portuguese synagogues with this special melody. Unlike the Eastern Sephardi communities who read this Biblical book on every Sabbath eve the Spanish Portuguese communities read it once a year, on Passover.
