A few days ago at an IAWE board meeting, someone suggested we have an evening on Leonard Cohen, so while we were babysitting a hyperactive dog today, we watched the movie of Hallelujah.  The religious Jewish element seems so strong to me – and each word of the prayers is taken seriously, as a way to understand the self in the universe. .  So unlike the new religious government we’re about to have  here, which is about imposing behavior and not understanding.
