Testimonials

"Rabbi Shmuel Halpern brings Koheles to life with remarkable clarity, depth, and  relevance, transforming an ancient and often challenging text into a compelling  guide for how we understand purpose, meaning, and the way we live our lives.  'What truly defines us is not what we accumulate but what we do with what we  have been given.' Koheles is a thoughtful and inspiring book that Young Israel of  Denver is truly excited to share with our community."

"King Solomon is known as the “wisest of all men,” yet one of his seminal works,  Koheles (Ecclesiastes), seems filled with contradictions and enigmas. There have  been many attempts at interpreting Koheles, but it’s Rabbi Shmuel Halpern’s new book, In the Light of Eternity, which brings King Solomon’s words into a  contemporary context. Rabbi Halpern’s insights and meticulous decoding of  Koheles reveal the true meaning and depth of that monumental work, establishing In the Light of Eternity as a monumental achievement in and of itself."
