This reflection introduces Qoheleth, traditionally associated with Solomon, as he questions the meaning of life through a philosophical lens. Key Hebrew terms like hevel (vanity), yitron (gain), and tachat hashemesh (under the sun) highlight the book’s exploration of purpose, impermanence, and life lived without orientation toward God.
