The Brilliance of Leonard Cohen
David Peimer
Hallelujah!
Ancient, inspiring and very modern
Bob Dylan called him a
genius
Join us as we delve into the unique life, songs, poetry, Jewishness and music of Leonard Cohen. In these dark times, Cohen gives us a vision of an ancient , inspiring and very modern way of valuing life. Let's discover why Bob Dylan called him a ''genius'', why one of his songs has been watched by over 1/4 of a billion people and why he resonates
so powerfully today.
