S2 Ep1628: KEEP THE FAITH Beth Gelman Talking Miracles & Transformation w/Rabbi Phillip Weintraub

 In this episode of KEEP THE FAITH host Beth Gelman, she talks with  Rabbi Phillip Weintraub about miracles and transformation - big and small.  It’s January when many people in our secular world think about transformation – New Year’s resolutions, taking action on big dreams, personal resets. There are tons of articles in the press, on tv, in social media. It’s really hard to get away from the message that you are a flawed human being and now is the moment to change your life. At the same time, in the Jewish calendar, we have just left the miracle of Hannukah in December, and the Torah portions we read each week during January and early February are full of big splashy miracles and the beginning of the transformation of a group of slaves into a free people.  YOUR HOST  Beth Gelman is an actress and writer who became fascinated with religion and spiritual practices at a young age. A cantorial soloist, she has performed and taught liturgy and prayer in hundreds of churches, cathedrals, temples, synagogues, and educational institutions across the country, and has investigated a wide variety of spiritual and philosophical practices, from the well-known to the obscure. In addition to performing and writing, Beth has held leadership roles in arts and cultural institutions throughout Chicago and Tampa Bay. “My path has been eclectic, but all my experiences have reinforced my belief in the power of ritual, story, and song to connect, heal, and inspire.” Keep The Faith original intro music is by Tom Sivak, Gelman's husband who just debuted a Tampa Opera in November.#bethgelman #keepthefaith  #faith #religion #spiritualty #powerofcommunity #stpete #stpetefl  #tampabay #radio #radiostpete #cityofstpete  #dtsp #downtownstpete
