Of the five megillot in the Tanakh, only Kohelet does not describe a historical event or tell a personal story. Rather, it relates life lessons, with frequent confusing or even conflicting messages. This makes it one of the most challenging biblical books to comprehend. Yet, if the Sages included it in the biblical canon, it must have a lesson for all generations. We traditionally read Kohelet every Sukkot. Can we return home, this year, with an understanding of its message? In this groundbreaking work, David Curwin draws from traditional sources and modern scholarship to take us on an eye-opening journey through Kohelet and other books of the Tanakh. Starting with a look at the life of King Shlomo, whose successes and failures are reflected in the teachings of Kohelet, the author then presents linguistic and thematic evidence suggesting strong parallels between the life of Adam and that of Shlomo, and between the book of Kohelet and the opening chapters of Bereshit.

The biblical Table of Nations gets a science-grounded reboot in the revolutionary book "Maps of the Gods", by the author Cardelli. Using the narrative of the postdiluvian division of the world to Noah and his sons found in the Book of Jubilees as the key to his research, the author creates a ground-breaking and comprehensive new redrawing of the lands of Shem, Ham and Japeth, matching geographical point to geographical point. With the author's radical new map of the division of the world, can the location of the legendary Garden of Eden now be finally pinpointed? Comparing biblical descriptions found in the book of Genesis with his new map, the author puts forth a stunning and controversial revelation that challenges everything we thought we knew, and may perhaps finally offer definitive proof of a divine existence.

Central to this discussion are the key debates, prevalent from the Renaissance, about faith and reason, theology and philosophy and paradise both as an internal and external reality.

Time is integral to human culture. Over the last two centuries people's relationship with time has been transformed through industrialisation, trade and technology. But the first such life-changing transformation – under Christianity's influence – happened in late antiquity. It was then that time began to be conceptualised in new ways, with discussion of eternity, life after death and the end of days. Individuals also began to experience time differently: from the seven-day week to the order of daily prayer and the festal calendar of Christmas and Easter. With trademark flair and versatility, world-renowned classicist Simon Goldhill uncovers this change in thinking. He explores how it took shape in the literary writing of late antiquity and how it resonates even today. His bold new cultural history will appeal to scholars and students of classics, cultural history, literary studies, and early Christianity alike.

His insights provide whole new ways of understanding the holidays, appreciating their depth, and experiencing them to their fullest: ¿Our festivals and holidays, remembrance days and special occasions, ensure that the paths of our lives do not remain merely dusty roads lacking meaningful points of distinction¿ These special days are the landmarks, signposts, and lights along the way¿openings through which we may emerge from the stagnancy and rut of life¿s routine. They provide us with opportunities not only to celebrate and mourn, but also to renew and change ourselves¿¿

Rabbi Binyamin Tabory¿s many students know him as a master educator who makes the highest level of classical yeshiva learning accessible with his pedagogic skill and warm personality. In The Weekly Mitzva, Rabbi Tabory discusses a mitzva ¿ sometimes familiar, sometimes obscure ¿ connected to each week¿s parasha. His unique approach combines Brisker-style abstract analysis with the illustrative case law characteristic of the Achronim. For each topic, Rabbi Tabory quickly arrives at the fundamental hakira¿ the logical point upon which the discussion hinges, and applies that insight to various practical questions. For decades, Rabbi Tabory taught students across four continents. Now, The Weekly Mitzva enables readers to bring Rabbi Tabory¿s special brand of Torah to their own Shabbat table discussions.
