Sitting in his hotel room in New York this morning, Rabbi Sacks suddenly had a thought about a connection between the late Leonard Cohen's song "You Want It Darker", the current state of the world and this week's parsha of Vayera. Apologies this is a little last minute, but it is definitely a different kind of parsha shiur! The lyrics to "You Want It Darker" - which is the music at the beginning and end of this video - can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YD6fvzGIBfQ. Shabbat shalo
