“Would you recognize your soul’s complement in another? Beyond the bliss of actually finding your soulmate, 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.
