Translated by R' Aryeh Kaplan. King Solomon in his wisdom spoke for all mankind and addressed the basic problems of human existence: happiness, poverty and wealth, the way to wisdom and serenity, and-death. We are all doomed to die. We are also all the center of our own universe. When we die, that universe seems to end. The tension between these poles underlies all our struggles. But it is also a key to what Torah Torah and mitzvot are all about. How and why this is so brilliantly brought out in the Torah Anthology on Koheleth. In a tanslation carefully designed to reflect Solomon's powerful, soaring prose, it takes you through the Valley of the Shadow of Death. You will emerge less complacent-wiser-and more truly happy.
