The Light of the Ben Ish Chai on Megillas Koheles-The Torah Guidebook to a Life of Joy

description of book Translated by Yerachmiel Bratt   This book is a translation of the Ben Ish Chai’s commentary on the Book of Koheles. The Ben Ish Chai masterfully illuminates the text through pardes exposition. Pardes is exposition of pshat (the plain meaning of the verse), remez (holy numerical exposition), drash (extrinsic source exposition), and sod (kabbalah). The Ben Ish Chai weaves all into this work along with memorable allegories to delight readers and bring out the shine of Torah.   Sefer Koheles cannot be understood simply by a superficial read; the Ben Ish Chai brings out the sefer’s beautiful themes of wisdom and modesty, which are the hallmark of the Jewish people.   Hardcover, 144 pages
