Have you seen the Leonard Cohen documentary about his life and the song. Very spiritual and fascinating. I watched it for the 4th time the other night. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7600742/

and this article by a rabbi he studied with late in life while Leonard still identified as a Zen Buddhist monk: https://jewishjournal.com/judaism/212745/

I had mentioned it in passing in a piece several months ago and tagged you. You might not have gotten notice or you might have thought the tag was not well intentioned. https://medium.com/write-under-the-moon/ephemerally-enlightened-846e3cae7b48
