Kohelet (Ecclesiastes): Meditations on Meaning

This course is no longer offered.

Our lives are all too short and at times we feel as if our efforts are of no value. The author of Kohelet explores these questions of meaning, asking if there can ever be anything new under the sun. We will study the text closely together as we read through Kohelet's words. We will also draw on poetry and psychological sources to interact with the text in fashion that invites us to find meaning in our own lives.
