INC: - Wholesale Floor Coverings 5875 Concord WA 5-4181 Dr. Eichhorn Views Koheleth as `Musings of the Old Professor' i I In "Musings of the Old Pro- fessor," Dr. David Max Eich- horn has translated and offered comments on the Book of Ecclesiastes — Koheleth. This volume, published by Jonathan David (131 E. 23rd, N.Y. 10), provides explanatory evalua- tions of Koheleth, based on the commentaries of noted scholars and on Midrashic and Talmudic sources as well as the writings of the Tannaim and Amoraim. Rabbi Eichhorn develops his theme verse by verse, provid- ing an entirely new translation. He offers citical evaluations of some of the commentaries. He states in advance that he is tt.rning "for a rational inter- pretation of the musings of the old professor" (Koheleth), "to those among our classical sages and scholars who were not afraid to look at life as closely as Koheleth had looked at it." Important terms are defined by Rabbi Eichhorn, with the Tanna and the Amora playing, important roles in the explana- tory text. Chapter - by . chapter re- sumes, verse-by-verse anno- tations, mark Rabbi Eich- horn's study. The style of Biblical poetry is explained, and the author frequently quoted legends and parables to illustrate his points. Rashi and other commenta- tors are quoted and the words of Ibn Ezra are frequently drawn upon. So, also, are the views of Joseph Albo and other scholarly authorities, in addi- tion to those from the Houses of Hillel and Shammai. In the course of his com- mentaries, Rabbi Eichhorn also describes certain common usages. For instance, he refers to the term for "cantor" and he describes the development of the "chazan" title for syna- gogue - singer as follows: "It first appears in the Mishna where it has the follow- ing usages: Children's religious school superintendent, sheriff, court crier, syngaogue sexton. The modern m e a n i n g, one whose primary responsibility is to lead the congregation in prayer and chant the important parts of the service, does not appear until quite late in the post-Talmudic period. T h e r e are clear indications, however, that, even before the comple- tion of the Mishna, the Chazan was also used as a `shliach tsibur,' a 'representative of the congregation,' the term used for one who is designated to conduct public worship serv- ices." Where they fit, other explan- ations are provided to make this a very popular work for lay readers. At the same time, Rabbi Eichhorn's work will be helpful to the rabbinic scholars. Historical data also plays a role in this work. The author differs with some scholars on translations of Hebrew terms, and in all instances there is an evaluative merit to his com- mentary. At one point Rabbi Eich- horn states that "nowhere in his book does Koeheleth at- tempt to state what God is. He only tells what God does." The explanation that follows is a meritorious discussion on this aspect of Koheleth. The list of Talmudic and Midrashic sources, the section on Tannaim and Amoraim men- tioned in the commentary, the references to post-Talmudic authorities will prove of addi- tional help to the reader and student, to rabbis and laymen alike.
