Using the classical commentaries of Rashi, Ibn Ezra and others, as well as modern critical scholarship, the authors have produced a line-by-line translation and commentary to accompany the Hebrew text of the Book of Ecclesiastes. The often-quoted Book includes both well-known and quizzical texts, including the statements "to everything there is a season" and that, concerning life, "all is vanity".

Ideally suited for both individual reflection and adult education, Kohelet is a thoughtful and modern translation for all to learn from.
