Ecclesiastes and the Search for Meaning by Dr Erica Brown

View this email in your browser Ecclesiastes (Kohelet) has long been viewed as the great existential work of the Tanakh, containing the famous cry "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity." As part of a search for enduring meaning, it questions the nature of work, mortality, happiness, justice, goodness, and life itself. Kohelet is awash in contradictions, careful observations, disappointments, and insights, making it one of the richest and most complex books in all of Tanakh.  Ecclesiastes and the Search for Meaning synthesizes rabbinic commentary with modern scholarship, fine art, and poetry. It highlights expressions from Kohelet that have become common parlance while shedding light on its more obscure verses. This fresh and hopeful look at an ancient book offers a comprehensive introduction to the book and includes three essays on each chapter, concluding with an epilogue on Kohelet's liturgical use on the holiday of Sukkot – for Kohelet combines the frustrations and vulnerabilities of life "under the sun" with the temporal joys that make life worthwhile. All are regarded as a "gift from God." Buy Now The book of Deuteronomy is the fifth and final book of the Torah, and the Torah is divine.

In the final book, he becomes a narrator. In The Last Words of Moses, renowned thinker, teacher, and philosopher Micah Goodman takes us through the final book of the Torah to show how the divine is expressed through Moses to the children of Israel in the desert, and today.

In this groundbreaking work published with our friends at Aleph Beta, Curwin draws from traditional sources and modern scholarship to take us on an eye-opening journey through Kohelet and other books of the Tanakh. Starting with a look at the life of King Shlomo, whose successes and failures are reflected in the teachings of Kohelet, the author then presents linguistic and thematic evidence suggesting strong parallels between the life of Adam and that of Shlomo, and between the book of Kohelet and the opening chapters of Bereshit.
