## In Jewish tradition

In Song of Songs it is a small tower, used for beauty and strength, and it is often a picture of a person's neck or a defended wall.

**Interpretation.** The rabbis read Song of Songs as a love story between God and Israel. The turrets and the wall are seen as Israel's strength and its protection.

### Examples
