[NEW EPISODE] Love, Faith and A Pair of Pants This Thursday, on The Conscious Consultant Hour, Sam welcomes film-maker and author Herb Freed. Herb Freed, author of the timeless love story,Bashert, returns to the page in Love, Faith and A Pair of Pants with a collection of short stories about the smart, witty, spiritual and, according to Ben's mother, incredibly handsome, Rabbi Ben Zelig. In five anecdotes about a rabbi's life, Zelig navigates romance, family ties, colorful congregants and the meaning of faith. From studying for the rabbinate under legendary Jewish theologian, Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, to producing and directing Hollywood films and dancing with Martha Graham, Freed extracts from his own experience to weave a colorful and universal tale of life, love and spirituality. In a time where humanity is constantly put to the test, Freed takes readers from humor to pathos and back again in an uplifting examination of what it means to be human. He has directed and produced 15 feature films most of which have had psychological, spiritual and/or social themes in spite of their commercial categories. He is best known for Graduation Day andTomboy, as well as the taut thriller Haunts, and Child2Man, a story of survival during the Watts riots. Segment 1 Sam opens the show with his quote of the day from Abraham Hicks. Sam goes on to talk about the challenges he faced in his life and how they are not as bad as we think. Sam discusses that we need to look for the gift in each challenge and not be so concerned about things. Sam introduces film-maker and author Herb Freed, author of the book Love, Faith and A Pair of Pants. Herb talks about many people asking him how do you know when you found your soul mate and Herb says you don't know your heart knows. Segment 2 Sam talks about where he grew up in the Bronx and Herb talks about meeting his mentor Abraham Heschel, and his journey becoming a Rabbi. Herb discusses the close relationship he had with Abraham and what kind of person he was. Herb says Abraham was able to make people feel good and always had a smile on his face. Herb also talks about his own enjoyment of theater, directing and dancing and how he came to love film. Herb mentions his experiences with losses in his life and finding things that made him smile, helped him to heal. He states that people need to listen to people that inspire them and find things that make them happy. Segment 3 Herb discusses how he began writing and how writing made him happy. Herb talks about his latest book Love, Faith and A pair of Pants. Herb says its about a Rabbi falling in love with a women who is not Jewish. The book is also about faith, love and getting to know yourself.

Segment 4 In closing the show Sam tells his listeners to go out and purchase the new book by Herb, Love, Faith and A Pair of Pants. Herb says we are our brothers keepers,and talks about the tumultuous times we are living in. Herb says we are surrounded by anger, hate and lies but we need to hope for things to get better. Sam talks about the demonizing people who have different opinions and how divided the nation is at the moment. We need to look for things that bring us together and know we have much more in common than we do apart. Herb states we have the power to change and we can evolve. He mentions that we need to read things that inspire us and care about other people. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-conscious-consultant-hour8505/donations

Would you recognize your soul’s complement in another? Beyond the bliss of actually finding your soul mate, there is a belief that the universe hinges on predetermined people finding their other half, their bashert, to maintain cosmic balance. To be immersed in heady intoxication, passion, courage, adventure, intertwined in a duality, a divine double twinned in heart and soul. Heartfelt, magical, mystical, soulful - all of this is what is felt with bashert. A fabulous novel that will ignite all of your senses, shift your perspective on how to truly live life to the fullest in love, passion, deep intimacy at all levels. So very uplifting and much needed in this cynical world of violence, hatred, war, bullying and destruction. You will be taken away and you will come back changed - in awe of all that is possible, all that is available, and appreciative of the entanglements that bring us to where we are and who we are meant to be with on our journey.

Beyond the bliss of actually finding your soul mate, there is a belief that the universe hinges on predetermined people finding their other half, their bashert, to maintain cosmic balance. In Bashert (Bellrock Press; February 14, 2017) author, screenwriter, director and former rabbi Herb Freed immerses us in the heady intoxication and thunderous losses of what it really means to be bashert. Dan Sobol and Marion Gladstone meet by chance at a screenwriter’s event in Los Angeles. He’s a rabbi turned director known for his cinematic television commercials; she’s a writer and film editor who is recovering from a tabloid-headline screaming Hollywood divorce. From the moment Marion hears Dan’s voice, she knows—and so does he. It’s bashert. But when did the course of true love ever run smooth? Dan and Marion are soon partners in business as well as life, traveling the world to create movies. He directs, she writes and edits, and life becomes an amazing adventure—until Cancun. There, among the ruins of the Mayan civilization, Marion has an eerie premonition that has the potential to change everything. Drawing upon his own personal experience, Freed spins a tale unflinching in its examination of life, but weaving along the edge of magical realism. From the bright lights of Hollywood to Mexico, Israel, Paris and the dreamy exhilaration of Jamaica, Bashert is a love story about transcending life, loss and the boundaries we mistakenly place on our lives and our hearts.
