"To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven."

- Kohelet 3:1

Course Description :

King Solomon, the wisest of all, is traditionally said to be the author of three biblical books: Song of Songs, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes. From his passionate youth, to his sharing of wisdom and experience at middle age, to his conclusions about the meaning of life at an older age, Solomon's writings both reflect the emotions one goes through in life and offer poignant suggestions on how life should be lived. In this ten week course, we will examine passages from the three books and discuss the lessons they offer to contemporary Jews.
