Anticipating Death and Finding Satisfaction in Life: The Profound Wisdom of Kohelet
Part of the series, Living a Life of Meaning
Wise people will have different views about what constitutes a “Life of Meaning.” But no one researched this question more completely than the biblical author, Kohelet (Ecclesiastes). In this session we review his report in and evaluate his conclusions concerning what truly makes a life “well-lived.”
With Dr. David Kraemer, Joseph J. and Dora Abbell Librarian and Professor of Talmud and Rabbinics, 91.
