Life and Family
Koheles:
The Wisdom of Solomon

Children are our means to achieving immortality on earth, even more important to a Jew than the hope of Heaven. Yet Shlomo ha Melech's statements on the dichotomy between earthly and heavenly immortality nearly excluded Koheles from the canon of Tanach. Rabbi Wein analyzes this and other key teachings from Koheles, addressing Shlomo's views on family, marriage, and life itself.
