Commentary for Taanit 52:7

<big><strong>גמ׳</strong></big> בשלשה פרקים בשנה כהנים נושאין את כפיהם כו': תעניות ומעמדות מי איכא מוסף חסורי מיחסרא והכי קתני בשלשה פרקים כהנים נושאין את כפיהן כל זמן שמתפללין ויש מהן ארבעה פעמים ביום שחרית ומוסף מנחה ונעילת שערים ואלו הן שלשה פרקים תעניות ומעמדות ויום הכפורים

LIKEWISE IT SAYS, GO FORTH, O YE DAUGHTERS OF ZION, AND GAZE UPON KING SOLOMON, EVEN UPON THE CROWN WHEREWITH HIS MOTHER HATH CROWNED HIM IN THE DAY OF HIS ESPOUSALS, AND IN THE DAY OF THE GLADNESS OF HIS HEART.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Cant. III, 11. The Song of Songs has ever been regarded by the Rabbis as an allegory depicting the love of Israel for God.');"><sup>7</sup></span> 'ON THE DAY OF HIS ESPOUSALS:' THIS REFERS TO THE DAY OF THE GIVING OF THE LAW.' AND IN THE DAY OF THE GLADNESS OF HIS HEART:' THIS REFERS TO THE BUILDING OF THE TEMPLE; MAY IT BE REBUILT SPEEDILY IN OUR DAYS.
