Previous classes in 2009/2010 (ended June, 2010)
Dr. Ralph Rothstein - Schara Tzedeck Boardroom
The Book of Kohelet
Is there meaning to life or is that just a conceit of humanity? The book of Kohelet discusses, in poetic form , the very basic issues of the meaning of life , the proper path to guide one’s life decisions, the seeming paradox that a just G-d allows the wicked to prosper, and similar issues. The class will explore the Hebrew text, the Targum (Aramaic translation), Midrash, and classic commentaries to grasp King Solomon’s framing of the questions and answers.
