What is Real: Learning to Love what is True through the Book of Ecclesiastes
6-class series with Rebecca Minkus-Lieberman
 
The Book of Ecclesiastes, read each year on the holiday of Sukkot, is an enigmatic and provocative exploration of what is true and real about our human lives. In this class, we will use the questions and wisdom found in this text as a doorway to explore the most central questions of life: who are we? Why are we here? How do we shape the lives we want?
The class will use the Book of Ecclesiastes as the centerpiece and also incorporate other sources of complementary wisdom, both Jewish and secular. No previous learning experience required.
