Sunday June 8, 2025 1:30pm - 3:30pm AEST

SG.10 - Rm 5

Many words and lyrics by Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan are drawn from Jewish religious and Jewish historical sources, in particular, the Holocaust and the Tanach. By examining selective words and lyrics, plus relevant quotes from both ‘artists’ and analysts of their work, we will see how their Jewish backgrounds contributed essential elements to some of their most famous works. We will hear some Yiddish from Leonard and a bit of Hebrew from Bob.
