Leonard Cohen created his masterpiece Hallelujah through continued persistence, belief, and dedication.
Leonard Cohen was surrounded by music. His mother would sing folk songs in Yiddish and Russian. The synagogue where his grandfather was rabbi sounded like the gates of Heaven opening. And Leonard's heart turned the beauty of the world into music only he could hear.
But there was also sadness. How could life contain so much joy and also so much sorrow? Leonard wondered if there was a way to capture all those feelings at once.
He learned to play the guitar. He wrote songs. As a musician, people would come to see him perform. But there was still something missing. A song, hidden inside of him. One that he believed in, even when he struggled to write it or when others didn't understand it. And now, Hallelujah lives in all our hearts.
An author's note asks readers to consider what their Hallelujah is, and encourages them to share their talents and joys with the world.
