Study of the Book of Kohelleth (Ecclesiastes): 

     "Kohelleth is one of the Five Megillot, which occur in the Hebrew Bible.  It is read traditionally during the observance of Sukkot.  Of all the books in our Tanach, this is among the strangest.  Robert Gordis a great Jewish scholar and teacher at Jewish Theological Seminary in the 20th century wrote: "Whoever has dreamt great dreams in his youth and seen the vision flee, or has loved and lost, or has beaten barehanded at the fortress of injustice and come back bleeding and broken, has passed Kohelleth's door, and tarried awhile beneath the shadow of his roof." (Koheleth: The Man and His World, p.3).  We will "tarry awhile beneath" Kohelleth's "roof" as we read his work verse by verse, trying to understand his "theology" and world view.  Both of these, in many ways, are unique among the books in the Tanach."
