Leonard Cohen and The Tosher Rebbe: On Exile as Redemptions in Canadian Jewish Mysticism
|
| Abstract |
A comparison of the Jewish mysticism (Kabbalah) between two diverse Canadian mystics from Montreal – a Hasidic rebbe, R. Meshulam Feish Segal-Loewy (1921-2015), a.k.a. the Tosher rebbe, and a Jewish monk, poet and singer/songwriter Leonard Cohen (1934-2016). The author argues that each of these mystical exemplars problematizes the dialectic of exile-redemption while remaining connected to their exile as homecoming in Montreal. Within each of these mystics' hypernomianism, he contends that both turn their third solitude to fasting as constituting their devotional experience of Zion.
