I split Rabbi Leder's opening remarks into two parts intending to post a separate video when he talks about Leonard Cohen's ANTHEM.
Then I forgot to upload the second part. My apologies.
Here it is.
Rabbi Steve Leder begins the service (part 2) ANTHEM
Rabbi Leder quotes from Ralph Waldo Emerson's essay, Compensation - "There is a crack in everything that G-D has made". Leder says Leonard Cohen does G-D and Emerson one better,"There is a crack, a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in."
