RABBI'S FALL SEMINAR, 2024

THE BOOK OF KOHELET: A MANIFESTO OF CONTRADICTIONS

Wednesday, November 13 at 6 pm

Join Rabbi Goldstein for an interactive and lively discussion of the Book of Kohelet, also known as Ecclesiastes. This ancient biblical book, clearly influenced by Greek Stoic philosophy, is unique in the Hebrew canon. Join us as we explore its author's reflections on the passage of time, impermanence, and life's fragility and seeming absurdity at times. Many of this book's themes and passages have had outsized impact on the Western intellectual and literary tradition. No prior knowledge of the Bible is required.
