| Wein, Rabbi Berel on |
|
|
Shlomo Ha Melech was the wisest of all men, yet he advises that the first step in wisdom is to be able to say, "I don't know." Only with humility can we open ourselves to wisdom, an inner guard against corruption and the foundation of piety and integrity.
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.
Life is like a thoroughfare with countless bumps and detours that constantly throw us off course. Shouldn't our goal be to pull ourselves back on track? In a class leading up to Elul, Rabbi Wein applies this original metaphor to our own lives and to the Jewish people's need for ongoing relevance and meaning.
Every generation contends with its own challenges and must find its own solutions. But for Elul and Tishrei there is a one-size-fits-all solution: Teshuva. Rabbi Wein examines this tool against the backdrop of current events and Jewish history, and shows how the universal tools of teshuva, tefilla, and tzedaka can transform you forever.
