plotino/angel Interesting post. Since you mentioned concern for Leonard Cohen's physical state.. I was wondering if perhaps this was not just a bout of intestinal flu but perhaps also symptomatic of orthostatic hypotention? Was it determined he had an episode of syncopy? He is unbelievably agile, re...

bridger15, An absolutely stunning and beautiful video for Rosh hashana. Yes, so true what you say about the gifted and benevolent people here. What a world it could be if such beauty, generosity, tolerance and understanding prevailed. Bertold Brecht said: Art is not a mirror held up to reality, but ...

The Jewish new year (5770) commences this Friday night. Since joining this forum I've been nothing less than impressed with the generosity, respect and sheer volume of inspiring thoughts coming from all of you here. I take this opportunity to wish all of you and Leonard Cohen, your friends and famil...

I am telling you, the longer I linger in this forum the stronger my appreciation of Leonard Cohen becomes. Thank you for the video links. If they are not classics by now, I nominate them be one.

By the way - good to see you maryB and all of you.

I am deeply touched by Leonard Cohen's decision. I've only recently found this forum. Normally I just come here to read what like minded good people have to say about Leonard Cohen. I must say this. It's been a humbling experience. You’ve all contributed in the process. In your comments and writing...

If I may. I know something about Leonard Cohen's influence on Israel (and on us) in the past 30 years of our struggled and glorified existence. Leonard Cohen was WITH US during the YOM KIPPOR WAR. He was with us in the aftermath. Lenoard Cohen was the compass when we were defeated. He stayed with us...

Words escape me but I definitely know it lifted my soul.

Thank you for this.
Thank you for everything.
