T'hilim, Psalms, Kohelet, Ecclesiastes 8-2

Again, I'll start with the reminder that it'll be easier to follow with a text. And sorry that it has taken me so long to get started this week.

T'hilim 34 background review--David writes that G-d didn't create anything as a waste/for no reason, including lunacy
bottom line--all of creation is to serve people. The positive, man can benefit, enjoy everything in the world, even the forbidden--there's a kosher version. This is very different from other religions. (I have to email Nissan for the exact source, because people had asked.) And there are things that are forbidden, but they appear kosher. Like in Gan Eden, Garden of Eden, all of the trees looked like trees, permitted, but the eitz hadaat, Tree of Knowledge was forbidden.

sorry, but I'm taking a dinner break
