The OT uses the allegory that God is a husband and his people are his bride. The Song of Songs is very allegorical. The OT is rich with figurative language and speech. Read the Talmud and you can see that Rabbinical teaching loves to use allegories to explain a concept. The expression "fiddler on a roof" is figurative language.
Surely you are not suggesting that figurative language is the domain of Christians! I am sure that the Jews would be highly offended at that suggestion.
