Ecclesiastes 1:4

 

קהלת פרק א:ד

Original Text:

דּוֹר הֹלֵךְ וְדוֹר בָּא וְהָאָרֶץ לְעוֹלָם עֹמָדֶת:

Translation:

One generation goes, another comes, but the earth remains the same forever. [JPS translation]

Suggested Discussion Questions:

1. What is our responsibility to maintain the earth for future generations?
2. What does it mean that the earth remains the same forever? Is this true? Must we sustain it or can it sustain itself?
