Determining your inscription in the Book of Life ! – Clues from the Midrash of Leonard Cohen and the Reluctance of the Prophet Jonah


The Jewish troubadour who gave us “Hallelujah” and the prophet who tried to run away from God’s mission both have much to teach us about preparing for the High Holidays.Spoiler alert, Cohen’s Hallelujah urges us to greet the new year with Joy and openness, and through Jonah we learn that there is hope for “Teshuvah” or our owning up to our sacred possibilities in the new year. But Oh my friends, getting there with both Cohen and Jonah is a rich and rewarding experience.
