The God Squad with Rabbi Marc GellmanGSP203: ScarsRabbi Gellman explores the two types of scars we bear in life – virtue scars and mistake scars. Virtue scars, the result of doing the right thing, are often reminders of moments of courage and the things worth fighting for. They may be the result of protecting a friend or speaking out for what is right. Mistake scars, on the other hand, are the result of moral weakness and remind us of our brokenness. 2023-05-1020 minThe God Squad with Rabbi Marc GellmanEpisode 202: God WinksIn this second episode I consider God winks which is the name of the ways dead people find to communicate with us.

Group Golf Therapy#043 - Rabbi Marc is an identity thiefIs it a coincidence that we release this session with an ordained rabbi the morning after Rosh Hashanah? Absolutely. Also, Rabbi Marc isn't ordained — he isn't a rabbi at all (don't worry though, he is Jewish). Instead, Ben Something from southern California went on eBay early in the pandemic to buy a used golf bag to feed his budding golf interest; the leather staff bag he purchased arrived at his door, and upon opening the box saw "Rabbi Marc Gellman" emblazoned across the front in slightly-faded stitching. Thus, Rabbi Marc was born. Marc/Ben has been a day-one supporter of...2022-09-2756 minThe God Squad with Rabbi Marc GellmanAll I Want Is For My Children to Be Happy (things we say that aren't true)The third in our series of podcasts on famous sayings we think are true but are not: “All I want is for my children to be happy.” Episode NotesThe first reason this saying is wrong is that as it turns out that being happy is less like something you can achieve and more like something you already have by virtue of your innate personality.

The Naturist Living ShowBaring It All For GraduationWe chat with Kate Logan who, 20 years ago, dropped her robe during her graduation speech and finished speaking completely nude in front of 200 classmates, faculty, parents, family, and friends. Her story went viral around the world in a time well before Facebook and other electronic social media became popular. She was and is still unrepentant. Her act was filled with meaning and principles; values which she demonstrated abundantly when she turned down a large sum of money from Playboy Magazine.
