The Florence Melton School of Adult Jewish Learning hosts Rabbi Jeff Salkin on the distinctly Jewish voice at the heart of Leonard Cohen’s music, as the 10th yahrzeit approaches. Beyond “Hallelujah,” the session traces the biblical stories, liturgical echoes, Jewish memory, and lifelong wrestling with God running through Cohen’s work, and the Jewish texts and traditions that reverberate within it.
Salkin, an award-winning columnist, podcaster, and author of a forthcoming book on the Jewish voice in rock music, invites participants to hear Cohen as a modern-day paytan, a Jewish liturgical poet whose sacred poetry found its way onto records, radios, and concert stages.
