Summary:
The death of Leonard Cohen led me to connect to one of his
most popular songs, “Hallelujah.” He questions the fallacy of naming God in a
particular way, and encourages us to recognize divinity in all of its
manifestations. This got me thinking about God’s name in the Bible and how the
biblical insistence on worshipping only a god that goes by this name may
actually be a barrier to a more expansive recognition of the sacred. Thank you,
Leonard!
