In this course, we will utilize the life and artistry of Leonard Cohen to open a revelatory path into process-relational theology from a Jewish perspective. Using the book by Marcia Pally, From This Broken Hill I Sing to You: G-d, Sex, and Politics in the Work of Leonard Cohen as a general guide, and drawing on other relevant sources, we will clearly distinguish process-relational theory, thought and theology, with the metaphysical realism they propose, from the problematic alternatives of materialism and idealism that have been dominant in the modern world and which permeate traditional Jewish theology and now pose a major existential risk. We recommend students purchase the Pally book.
