The Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashonah, begins with the story of Isaac which is supposed to have taken place on the first of Tishri, the first day of the New Year. Leonard Cohen's" Story of Isaac" has been heard at an anti-war lyric opposing the sacrificing of young men for their country.
This story has also been told by Bob Dylan in "Highway 61 Revisited" which is used as the soundtrack for the binding of Isaac,enacted here by Tuli Kupferberg in the 1972 experimental Canadian film by Michael Hirsh, "Voulez-Vous Coucher Avec God?"
