Chevra, this Shabbat is Chol HaMoed Sukkot and so the normal parsha is not read this Shabbat. Actually, we’ll be finishing the Torah in the middle of next week, but we’ll explore that on Sunday. This Shabbat in addition to the Sukkot reading we’ll read Kohelet (קהלת). This is generally attributed to Shlomo HaMelech (no relation that we know about) and has many famous pasukim including “there is nothing new under the sun” and the poem iterating on there is a time for everything, a time to dance, a time to plant, a time to for everything. It was even made into a song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4ga_M5Zdn4). In our world there is a time for Well Architected Reviews, a time for training, a time to push back on the customer (for their own good) and a time to commit, and there is a time to dedicate to our own education and progress. Shabbat Shalom and Moadim beSimcha.
