Leonard Cohen’s song “Who by Fire” is based on the “Unetane Tokef” prayer from the High Holy Days liturgies. Do you remember the emotionally fraught atmosphere of Rosh Hashana after 9/11?
How many shall pass away and how many shall be born,
Who shall live and who shall die,
Who shall reach the end of his days and who shall not,
Who shall perish by water and who by fire
