A j.talks and J Performing Arts Series event Author Liel Leibovitz (A Broken Hallelujah: Rock and Roll, Redemption and the Life of Leonard Cohen), plus live music with special guests Bayla Whitten, Mat Tonti and Eliza Jane Berkon. Piano: Neil Epstein.
A Broken Hallelujah examines the intricacies of the artist who had gone from a successful world tour and a movie star girlfriend to a long residency in a remote Zen retreat; and the rare spiritual seeker for whom the principles of traditional Judaism, the tenets of Zen Buddhism, and the iconography of Christianity all align. The portrait that emerges is that of an artist attuned to notions of justice, lust, longing, loneliness, and redemption, and possessing the sort of voice and vision commonly reserved only for the prophets. Liel Leibovitz beautifully illuminates what Cohen is telling us and why we listen so intently.
