Drash Cards for Ha’Azinu (5761)<\/strong><\/p>\n

by Marc Mangel<\/p>\n

\u2022 Today I want to mainly talk about Kohelet, but before that one comment on the Torah reading.<\/p>\n

\u2022 In Ch 15, v 11 we have a public policy statement if there ever was one.<\/p>\n

\u2022 We cannot eliminate poverty, but we can cushion its effect. Now on to Kohelet<\/p>\n

\u2022 We all know Ch 3, v 1-9: Turn, Turn, Turn (Pete Seger 1954)<\/p>\n

\u2022 In his 1993 book ‘Where Have All the Flowers Gone’ Seeger writes “a bearded fellow with sandals, a tough minded fellow called Ecclesiastes who lived in Judea like 3000 years ago…I bet he was short, wiry, irascible”<\/p>\n

\u2022 My reading for this year: take your pleasure in the doing, not the accumulation<\/p>\n

\u2022 Ch 1, v 7 has a beautiful ecological observation and Ch 2 v 16 tells us that there is nothing coming to perfection<\/p>\n

\u2022 Ch 3, v22: rejoice in deed and Ch 5 v1: take care with our words — these are good reminders.<\/p>\n

\u2022 And perhaps best of all, Ch 7, v 5: be able to take criticism, indeed — seek it out<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
