Kohelet. The Book of King Shlomo

second edition, corrected

With comments from Tanakh, Talmud, Midrashs, Rushi and "Me-Am Loez".

About King Solomon in the book " Kings ": " And he said unto him , Gd " ... Behold, I have given you a wise heart, and this , like you never had before , and after you will not like you , "" And he began he wiser than all other people. "
" Ecclesiastes " - in Hebrew : " Kohelet " - the last book of King Solomon . The word " Kohelet " comes from the verb " leakil " - " focus " : under this name King Solomon was known because " concentrated in itself all the wisdom of the world " , but also because to him " flocked ( focusing ) people to listen to his wisdom " ( Rashi ) .
From the summit of knowledge , wisdom, experience and great opportunities Ecclesiastes looks at life, looking at her expediency and meaning. He goes through a variety of philosophies , each time from a new perspective by considering the world and man , until he finds that focus , in which man and the world are combined in unifying their harmony , filled with light of the Creator , the will and the power which a person takes with love .
Those who only heard about this book , or just skim read it , it may seem that " Ecclesiastes " is full of despair and frustration. When ordered a study, based on the comments of Torah Sages , " Ecclesiastes " textbook is the meaning of life , even nearly 2,800 years after King Solomon .
