Hasidut untuk Kidung Agung 1:4

מָשְׁכֵ֖נִי אַחֲרֶ֣יךָ נָּר֑וּצָה הֱבִיאַ֨נִי הַמֶּ֜לֶךְ חֲדָרָ֗יו נָגִ֤ילָה וְנִשְׂמְחָה֙ בָּ֔ךְ נַזְכִּ֤ירָה דֹדֶ֙יךָ֙ מִיַּ֔יִן מֵישָׁרִ֖ים אֲהֵבֽוּךָ׃ (ס)

Tariklah aku, kami akan berlari mengikutimu! Raja telah membawaku masuk ke kamar-kamarnya; kami akan bersorak dan bersukacita karenamu, kami akan mengenang cintamu lebih dari anggur; dengan tulus mereka mencintaimu.

Pesach is the New Year for the Festivals. This is because at the very beginning one needs to distance themselves from the Evil Inclination, as is referred to in the Holy Zohar: Matzah is from the language of trial and argument. On this holiday everyone can leap from their connection to the "Other Side" even if they are not on the level to do so. After this, they merit Torah. After that, they merit to bring in the light of the Torah to their inner humanity. "Draw me" (Shir Hashirim 1:4) is on Pesach - which is drawing it in. The children of Israel are drawn in from the Idol Worship in Egyp, even though they weren't prepared with all their heart. Thus it happened with a "Strong Arm" in the way that a person is drawn from the womb of their mother in the Midrash. After this "Let us run" (ibid) on the seventh day of Pesach that they ran into the sea - a willingness to sacrifice their lives. "The King has brought me into his chambers" (ibid) The chambers of Torah on Shavuot. "Let us delight and rejoice" (ibid) Which is the holiday of Sukkot.
