Lessons from Kohelet | A Succot Shiur | Rabbi Jonathan Sacks 

Amazing. Just finished listening to this for the second time. May his Holy Neshama have an Aliya through all the Torah he taught, and all the Torah that continues to be learnt in his merit.

Dear Rabbi Jonathan Sacks Z'L, I miss you so much!

Wonderful teaching by a great, yet humble man. He is dearly missed.

Wonderful and Holy words! Thank you ❤️ Dear Rabbi Jonathan Sacks Z'L,we miss you so much!

I only came upon the great teachings of Rabbi Sachs six years ago. His Torah, his brillance in history, world culture, politics and philosophy are all woven together in easy understandable lessons for living life. May his neshama study even deeper insights with that of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Aaron, David and Solomon.

Will always love your amazing depth, your way of teaching and your charismatic voice. I wish that my family and I would have had the chance to meet you.. May you have an Aliyah and be blessed eternally for all that you have done for the Jewish nation and beyond 🙏

Thank you, Rabbi Sacks, for this brilliant teaching! I MISS YOU, DEAR RABBI SACKS, SO MUCH!

... and this is why i love this great Rabbi ... he can explain the mysteries of Torah, with such simpleness and grace, that the entire world is blessed because of it ... thank you Rabbi

Thank you Rabbi Sacks for yet another fascinating and inspiring lesson in Torah!

As always brilliant! Thank you and miss you Rabbi. 😢😘

Dear Rabbi Sacks, Thank You from the bottom of my Heart for being our Teacher . May HASHEM Bless You (& Your Family) with strength to continue to be our Teacher.

This actually made me cry it was so beautiful. Thank you Rabbi Sacks.

A wonderful lecture by rabbi Jonathan Sacks on the meaning of what is a Succah. Man does not need a glamorous dwelling of bricks and mortar-he can dwell in a Succah. The Succah is a temporary dwelling-a dwelling where one can enjoy the festival of Succot. Rabbi Jonathan Sacks was a wonderful communicator and Orator He was an historian,a learned man and a proud Jew. His death is sadness. May his memory be a blessing And May we as Jews follow in his footsteps celebrate Sukkot. In a Succah as Jews did in history

Toda Raba Sir, for an instant transmission of all this wisdom turned our lives into a bit more than just breathing. Cause it was breath taking. Shalom aleichem.

Can listen to this again and again ….. thanks a lot Rabbi

Ingenious! What a Simchas Yom Tov to listen to such a lecture... Thank you Rabbi

Such joy to listen to Rabbi Sacks! Thank you for your insight!

When Mashiach comes we will all be in the Tabernacle of Hashem, blessed is He, praising Him like the time of Moshe. B"H

so deep ,such a great explanation, ..moved to tears..thank you..chag samayach

Kohelet has always been my favourite scripture. I love it, even more, now!!! Thank you for your wonderful teaching. May your soul have an Aliyah, Rabbi Sacks. May your family be comforted among the mourners of Zion, There is life after life, Baruch HaShem!

Amazing shiur thank you Rabbi.

What an amazing shiur, so deep and encompassing.

Seeing this a second time points attention to "the concealed narrative beneath the narrative." ❤

Thank you so much, I got so emotional. It was very educational and on deep spiritual level touched my soul.

this took my breathe away

Absolutely brilliant. What a great and sad loss for the world that Rabbi Sacks has passed from this world.

Absolutely awesome. Thank you so much, Rabi.

Absolutely beautiful as usual

Thanks for posting this. Sukkot is the best

How comforting the message is. Thank you, thank you

Rabbi Sacks you are masterful ! I felt myself ( inside) lifting upward. Incredible! Thank you more than I know how to say. ,

At 32:30 Rabbi Sacks of Blessed Memory makes an oblique reference to the spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle, author of the mega-selling 'The Power of Now'. I knew Eckhart as Ully, the diminutive of Ulrich, when he was an unassuming post-graduate student at Cambridge, long before he became one of the most widely read spiritual intellectuals of his generation, someone worthy of an honourable mention by Rabbi Sacks, arguably himself the greatest of all public intellectual in his day. To his friends, Ully radiated humility and charisma in equal measure. To his followers, Jew and non-Jew alike, Rabbi Sacks' great legacy lives on...

Thanks you Rabbi Sacks for this Shiur on Sukkot and Kohelet which includes several inspiring ideas, collected from so many jewish and non jewish sources. Showing a deep culture and real interest in the world and time in which we are living.

Baruch Hashem! Thanks Rabbi Sacks for such great teaching.

Great lecture Rabbi Singer. Wicked men have mid-led generations of probably good people. They had absolutely no fear of disobeying Deuteronomy 4:2. Or rearranging the books of Torah, miss leading a mass of people. And committing atrocities in the name of religion.. christians are well aware of world history and their involvement in it….Great Torah study Rabbi Singer “Light unto the Nations.”.

Thank you Rabby Sacks for your instructing lessons

דברים היצאים מן הלב נכנסים אל הלב ופועלים פעולתם Bravo!

Food for thought indeed! After a really nasty fall I woke up!! Hallelu-Yah ♡

Interesting…the life of Hevel was indeed a "breath" and our physical basar is also temporary then been thankful knowing the harships are one way or another temporary. Thank you for posting and may Rabbi Sacks be bless into eternal realms

profound indeed, thank you.

Brilliant..as always...thank you..may his memory be a 🙌 blessing

Chag Sameach ve Moadim l'simcha! Rabbi Sacks - Vanity of vanities all is vanity and futile the wisdom of Shlomo HaMelech is so deep and enlightening. Thank you may HaShem grant you years to live from now to continue and pass on to us wisdom we can live by momentarily and daily for that is all we have “THIS MOMENT ONLY - THE NOW.”

Your lecture left me uplifted, and yes with Simcha. Thank you and יישר כחך

this is wonderful torah! what an amazing teacher he was (a'h) thank you.

Wonderful, inspiring sermon. Thank you, Lord Rabbi Sacks. Your various quotes such as from King Lear recall to my mind the Tanakh qote from Ecclesiastes, Chapter 1, Verses 2 & 3: "Utter futility!--said Koheleth--Utter futility! All is futile! What real value is there for a man in all the gains he makes beneath the sun?"

Brilliant! Thank you Rabbi for this great teaching. B"H

I am happy to hear what Rabbi Sacks, of blessed memory, said. Beautiful.

Tank you Rabby Sacks for your instructing lessons

Beautiful Rabi 🙏🏻

Amazing explanation

Rabbi Sachs had the tremendous ability to break down the most esoteric material and transmit its teachings in a clear and understandable manner.

How right the Lubavitcher Rebbe was to tell Rabbi Sacks he was meant to be a Rabbi.

May Hashem bless you . Thank you Rabbi this was very good

Amazing Now we can live the hag deeply and with great simha

So amazing!! Todah todah raba!!

Brilliant!

I needed this today. Zekher tzadik livrakhah.

The Rebbe has an chidush that the cave of Machpelah is named for a 'double house'/two-story house in the nearby field.

A very special person. I met with him over thirty years ago. Like it was yesterday.

SUPERB- BRILLIANT' VERY GOOD LECTURE ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE-- THANK U VERY MUCH-

Thank you.

beautiful shiur! thank you!

Thank you Rabbi Sacks. You have given me wonderful insights in this shiur. I will never read Kohelet the same way again!

So good. What a journey !

Amazing.... Thank You Rabbi Sacks

This is such a good message!

Wow - my mind is blown!

Shalom my favorite family ❤️

Rabbi Sacks z"l... Keeping us alive for generations!

thank you, rabbi

Excellent!!

What a magnificent drash. Thank you, R, Sacks.

Thank you Rabbi, NOW i can go read קהלת

beautiful, baruch hashem

Thanks. Todah rabah(תודה רבה), Rabbi.

All Americans should hear this now.

I was compelled to revisit your comments on the Kohelet in the light of your untimely and tragic departure. The notion of ‘resting in peace’ has always struck me as supportive of the Kohelet’s initial premise as that death is the ultimate demise. However, I would like to believe your busy in paradise.

Inspiring

Wonderful Shiur!

Thank you. Hallelujah. Grace 850

Splendid superb sublime

Amazing

The name "Voldemort" comes to mind when the Rabbi talks about the destructive quest to overcome death.

anyone have a copy of the source sheet for the speech?

Brilliant

Toda Raba dear Rabbi Sachs !

Yes I we Believe Claim Receive it Joyful SUKKOT Awesome Blessings Love Miracles Praise Shmitah Thanks Zenith Amen !.

Theme: Rabbis educating young people Dear Rabbi. Regarding the dialogue between the children and their parents, I think it is a good suggestion to give a lecture on the topic that we should not trust men according to Psalm 118. 8 and Corah's sin in putting the people in doubt about the authority of Moshe who would represent the father. There is a fine line between sinning for believing in a human being and sinning for disobedience like Corah's. All of this is fascinating to me and at the same time frustrating because I am so far away from the Masters in order to be able to talk to you as the disciples did with their Master Shimon Ben Yohai But, I think this Lecture is very useful in order to make young people more prepared for dialogue with their parents My cordial Shalom

thank you. could the word be folly

This is a thanksgiving to the Lord of the Worlds that I say every morning - (it is offered to anyone who wants to say thank you to God)King of kings, Lord of the world, Lord of the worldThanks!
