A person is not defined by what he has in the bank, but the way he handles his money reveals much about his character. Shlomo Ha Melech, author of Koheles, looks at money from two extremes: from the point of view of the world's wealthiest and most powerful king and from the view of an unknown beggar. Wealth and poverty each have spiritual lessons to teach, and by understanding Shlomo's words, we can maximize these lessons no matter which test comes our way.
