Torah from Sinai

Friday, September 25, 2026 / 14 Tishrei 5787
Long ago, the Biblical poet Kohelet stared life in the eyes and declared at the start of his book: הֲבֵל הֲבָלִים הַכֹּל הָבֶל Haveil havalim, ha-col havel… Futility of futilities, all is futile Kohelet was an existentialist before existentialism. Encouraging, isn’t he?! You could also translate it more spiritually and “Eastern” as “Emptiness of emptiness, everything is Empty”; or more “Western” and psychological as “Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.” The tradition is for us Jews to read the book Kohelet [or “Ecclesiastes” as the translation calls it] on the Shabbat of the intermediate days of the week-long Sukkot festival. Interestingly, this year Sukkot begins on a Shabbat: There is no intermediate day that is a Shabbat this year, because by next Shabbat we will already be in the Shemini Atzeret holiday that concludes the festival.
