Teme de Yom Kipur la Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Gershwin, Louis Armstrong, Barbara Streisand, Guns N' Roses si altii
De Rosh Hashanah se scrie ce va fi, de Yom Kipur se pecetluieste. Se decide soarta. Suntem infricosati in fata judecatii pe care mintea umana nu o cuprinde.
Tema a inspirat pe unii din cei mai mari cantareti pop si rock.
Ascultati Knocking on Heaven’s Door, de Bob Dylan, nascut Zimmerman, intr-un concert din 1976

Interpretata de Guns N’ Roses, melodia devine puternica, penetranta :
Leonard Cohen, idolul generatiei mele, impreuna cu marele saxofonist Sonny Rollins,
interpreteaza And who by fire
interpreteaza And who by fire
In alta versiune ne invaluie vocea adanca si calda a lui Leonard Cohen:
Merita sa citim versurile :
And who by fire, who by water,
who in the sunshine, who in the night time,
who by high ordeal, who by common trial,
who in your merry merry month of may,
who by very slow decay,
and who shall I say is calling?
And who in her lonely slip, who by barbiturate,
who in these realms of love, who by something blunt,
and who by avalanche, who by powder,
who for his greed, who for his hunger,
and who shall I say is calling?
And who by brave assent, who by accident,
who in solitude, who in this mirror,
who by his lady's command, who by his own hand,
who in mortal chains, who in power,
and who shall I say is calling?
Versuri scurte, despicate prin cezura, enumera, sec si sacadat, modalitatile in care firul vietii este curmat. Singurul vers lung suna ca un vaiet : and who shall I say is calling ? Cine oare e cel care ne cheama la sine?

Louis Armstrong relateaza cu savoare povestea biblica despre Iona si balena, care e citita in dupa-masa de Yom Kipur: Jonah and the Whale (Lord, Wasn’t That a Fish?)
Mitul lui Iona in pantecul balenei apare in It ain’t necessarily so, din “Porgy and Bess” de Gershwin:
Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald:
Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald:
Oh Jonah, he lived in de whale,
Oh Jonah, he lived in de whale,
Fo' he made his home in
Dat fish's abdomen.
Oh Jonah, he lived in de whale.
Oh Jonah, he lived in de whale,
Fo' he made his home in
Dat fish's abdomen.
Oh Jonah, he lived in de whale.
Melodia in aranjamentul si interpretarea lui Jascha Heifetz:
