I came to Beis Chana in '84. Went back two more times. Moved to Crown Heights and studied more. Married a chosid who came from a non- religious background in '87. Have a bunch of grandchildren all in Lubavitch schools. I still listen to Rabbi Friedman and go to him for advice. He is and always has been not just wise but totally and utterly emesdik with not an iota of self interest or self aggrandizement. Everything he does and everything he has is as a person is totally dedicated to the mission. I feel that is the secret to his success in influencing others. People crave such wisdom that comes from total unvarnished uncorrupted truth.
Wow, this was an unbelievable episode I just listened to it, and there is so much to unpack I’m going to have to relisten several more time just to appreciate it all
Answer me this riddle Rabbi. There are 6 Blue Zones in the world where people live to be 100+. One is in Loma Linda,Ca. where it is mostly vegetarian Seventh Day Adventist. None are in Israel, why? Wouldn’t Alohim want his chosen to live the longest?
Just to start- B”H, The Friedman family became Chabad. Inspiring Great Things to come from Rabbi Manis Friedman, Singer/ Son Benny Friedman, & Manis’ brother - Jewish Music King Avraham Fried.
Another Awesome Special Interview!!!‼️ You guys keep giving me Great episodes to Share, when I’m ‘Suppose to be Sharing Jewish Music” on my/ Judys_Jewish_Music page. 😊😉. TODA RABBA!!!!!🙏🙏🙏
Am I the only one that didn't know that Rabbi Friedman is Benny Friedman's dad?????????????? I knew Benny Friedman is Avraham Fried's nephew... now I am seeing in the comments and heard in the outro that he is Rabbi Friedman's brother. And of course this all means that he is related to 8th Day, too. Wow! What a family! Thank you for this and all of the episodes!!!!!!
Love this! Inspiring, interesting, informative and very entertaining!! Keep it up and keep it coming!! BTW, it's the "8 track tape", which was the thing before cassette tapes(mid '60s to early' 80s) right after the "record player". Again, great job, guys!!

I attended U. Michigan, majored in Major Religion, became introduced to Chabad in my Last year, but never learned true Yiddishkeit in any setting. The University Chabad Rabbi encouraged me to attend Bais Chana, upon my 12/85 Graduation. (For 1-2 weeks)
Please, please, please TRANSLATE all of the Hebrew and Yiddish that you seem to take for granted. I feel like I missed half of this conversation because there was no translation.
Baruch Hashem ! Early in the lockdown for the dreaded corona and feeling completely overwhelmed and helpless, I looked up the Mourners Kaddish and youtube brought me a video from Rabbi Manis Friedman ! 18 months later, I am a fan of the entire Friedman family ! Émet ve shalom
In order to be fair I listened again. Maybe I was incorrect. However, again nothing is qualified with Torah but with his personal opinion about relationships. All of life’s answers are in Torah according to the Sages. Just because he wears a long beard and a black hat doesn’t make him a man of G-d.
How can Rabbi Friedman knock Yeshivas? The fundamental building blocks of yiddishkeit is formulated in yeshivas. I am a product of yeshiva. I certainly am not lacking in acknowledgement of the Ribbono Shel Olam. However, the bulk of Torah Judaism is a product of the yeshiva world. A person who works on himself and works on his learning naturally builds a strong connection to the Ribbono Shel Olam.
I have always found it disconcerting that a "Bal T'shuva should be destined to marry a baalas t'shuva" I even have a hard time considering myself a bal t'shuva. Halevai, I should be that caliber of a Jew. The proper term for a person who grew up outside of the frum world and becomes a Shomer Torah and Mitzvos is "teenach sh'nishba." My rebbe once said to a close friend of mine. "I never used the term "Bal T'shuva'." There are many negative connotations in the term. So much so that the idea that a bal T'shuva should naturally marry a baalas tshuva came to be. Not true. If you really want to show your acceptance of a bal tshuva or baalas teshuva consider them as possible shiducheem for your own children. My rebbe made shiduchim with his own daughters to Baalei T'shuva. If my rebbe could do that then the rest of the frum world can also. That is acceptance.
Chill. There was no one in Minnesota at the time- whether baal tshuva or not. The boys in the yeshiva had no one to meet. So they came up with a girl's yeshiva! Why does that bother you? and why do you think that implies that the boys HAD to marry baal teshuva?
No we could Never let our kids marry 'balei teshuva',bc that might open the floodgates-what next?!! They should marry spouses from divorced parents perhaps? People with disabled siblings? Individuals with OTD siblings or people who have had family members on drugs? Or relatives suffering from depression? Our kids can't marry into families 'boasting' any of these bc that is below our dignity.Hence....the SHIDUCH CRISIS! Welcome to our perfectly frum perfect world. Bananas!
I just wanted to thank you for your program!!! I wait all the time for a new Podcast. This goes out to YAAKOV LANGER...thank you for being so honest and opening up!! Especially when you said that sometimes you get into dark places! I also struggle with this especially when I am praying...and many other times. It was very nice to learn that I am not alone!! I thank both of you for the wonderful work that you do. From Israel with blessings !!!! Rosh Hodesh Elul Tov!
Rabbi is a darn good hustling salesman style orator. Presents his dialogue in a manner like he knows everything that the viewer is unaware of, and we should go along with his rendition, cause it's God's manner. A masterful presentation with a plausible summation, but in reality he is another indoctrinated quasi-robot.
I would not take a lecture from this guide who publicly said “The only way to fight a moral war is the Jewish way,” wrote Rabbi Manis Friedman in the current issue of Moment magazine. “Destroy their holy sites. Kill men, women and children (and cattle).”
Look at the subtitle of R Meir Schuster's book.....'The Magical Era of Tshuva'......when you speak of h' msavev the whole world for the yidden (both for bracha and for reprimand) I think all those hippies screaming at Woodstock, all that lack of structure and rebellion against establishment, must have been for yidden.....that crazy atmosphere is what brought 'The Magical Era of Tshuva' into fruition.
I'm not a fan of Rabbi Manis Friedman, but kudos to you guys for inspiring more people (I really like his son Benny though, and his brother Avraham Fried, and the cousins, 8th Day and Eli Marcus).
@@levirapoport1276 What he says makes sense, but it's not something that I was taught to believe in as a child. Just because it makes sense doesn't mean it's right. A lot of criminals use rational thinking before doing a crime, but that doesn't make it an okay thing to do or believe in!
@@ZevMeth_originaljewishmusic You don't have to like him, but you're comparing Rabbi Friedman to a criminal? How sad, your thinking must be warped. He has helped so many people. What have you done for the world?
Rabbi may have many followers; however all that glitters isn’t gold. When listening to him I felt I heard cynicism, ego, criticism. You’ve had so many wonderful guests, positive examples of the Jewish way of life however I did not experience that with this rabbi.
Sorry you fealt this way. BH there has been so much positive feedback for this particular episode. So many types of people. So many choices of who we can get inspo from.
Hi Miss Louise. Please think about giving him another listen to. You may find he has absolutely no ego involved in bringing us back to our beloved Torah HaKodesh and good righteous living. A wonderful teacher for Jews AND Gentiles alike.
I don’t hear Torah. He’s just giving his opinion which means nothing to me. He gave an interview on intimacy recently and really did not back up his opinion with Hashem or Torah. Similar to Joel Osteen.
Rabbi Friedman is a hustling styled salesman & masterful orator. His audaciousTorah citations are manipulatively designed to persuade, convince & indoctrinate that it's gotta be God's way no matter what. Presented with a plausible summation, by a quasi staged Rabbi/Actor, YT performances are generating very substantial revenues-income from ads and subscriber clicks. A Real Smartie !
Thank you.. Rabbi......I'm not Jewish..but suffering over losing my son...needed the last 5 minutes of this talk....wonderful young men...bless you

I attended Beis Chana 3 times, for now. Hopefully more times in the future...
I am literally looking at My old Rabbi Manis Friedman / Bais Chana Tapes- “Not For Women Only” & “Redemption Purim/ Redemption Pesach”..

You can't have a conversation by quoting each point from a specific source but his whole outlook is based on his torah knowledge.

Everyone probably had a different experience but I went to yeshiva and I was not taught what I needed to know. Not even close.
That's just who he is. n the intelligentsa of CHABAD, he's at best alight-weight.
