Introduction
Koheles:
The Wisdom of Solomon

On the surface, the Biblical book of Koheles appears to be full of contradictions, and because of this, the Bais Shammai argued that it should be omitted from the canon of Tanach. They feared that people would glean improper lessons from it. Rabbi Wein traces the roots of the controversy over Koheles and shows how the valuable and holy lessons of the book itself ultimately settled the matter.
