Beatles Torah

David Benkof 

Orange 13

Did the Sages think “Money Can’t Buy You Love”? Does Kohelet teach us to “Let It Be”? Compare Jewish texts with Fab Four lyrics to find new meanings in both. Are the perspectives of The Beatles about love, friendship, spirituality, and community consistent with Judaism? Together, We Can Work It Out.
