| Abstract: | One of the important areas of concern for contemporary Biblical scholarship is the issue of the canonization of Hebrew ,Scripture. The process of determining which books should or should not be included in the Biblical canon was by no means a-simple one and it elicited much discussion and debate. Among the books whose status was questioned was the book of Kohelet, which we read this Yom Tov/Shabbat morning. ¶ According to rabbinic tradition, Kohelet was considered unworthy of inclusion in the Holy Bible for three different reasons.
