Step into an unforgettable episode of “The Rest is Commentary” as host Shep Rosenman welcomes the extraordinary Rabbi Joe Black for a conversation brimming with inspiration, music, and heartfelt reflection. In this special installment, we celebrate not only Joe’s remarkable journey as a rabbi, musician, and songwriter, but also his upcoming retirement from his beloved synagogue in Denver, Temple Emanuel—a milestone that marks the end of an era and the beginning of new creative adventures.
We have the special treat of hearing some of Joe's songs played off the cuff. Discover how Joe’s passion for music and spirituality intertwines, as he shares moving stories about encountering the divine through relationships, song, and the arts. Inspired by the evocative song “Endless,” itself a tribute to Psalm 42, Joe and Shep explore the three transformative stages of spirituality: awareness, appreciation, and action.
Listen in as Joe reveals the joys and challenges of balancing his dual callings as a spiritual leader and an artist, offering candid insights into the creative process, the power of faith, and the beauty of embracing change. This episode is a vibrant testament to the magic that happens when intellect and creativity unite, and how the bonds of community, art, and spirituality can illuminate every stage of life’s journey.
