@@sostenibilidadyser hello to each Paola and Lea, nice to be nice, but what Ben L says is not a nice generality about abstract oneness over religion... his words are precise that is saying a lot more. Being Muslim that take care to learn from our Jewish knowledge can't be answered by nice generalities. Because our friend Ben L is doing the opposite of a general move, that is brilliant. It isn't brilliant only because it's rare, but because it is courageously trying to complete his knowledge, trying to compare his understanding, questioning his tradition.

I've been listening to Rabbi Friedman since I was in my early twenties and am now 64 years old married with 5 children. His wisdom and insights have stayed with me in challenging times. I'm home now in quarantine and am using some of my time to reconnect spiritually. I so appreciate the access to hear his talks. It is a great chance to reflect.
WARNING IN BIBLE: 7 So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. 8 When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. 9 Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. 10 Therefore, O thou son of man, speak unto the house of Israel; Thus ye speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins be upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we then live? 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel? 12 Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth. 13 When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it. 14 Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right; 15 If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die. 16 None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live. 17 Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal. 18 When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall even die thereby. 19 But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby. 20 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal.

WOW! What a powerful and fundamental lesson. if we never feel the victim of someone else's actions there is no place for blame & blaming, which can be so debilitating and rob us of our joy & freedom in life. Thank you Rabbi Friedman for your shared wisdom and teaching ♡

That’s the problem, I think, that you beat yourself up. Just let it happen, and it will pass. Don’t beat yourself up; I know you know this, but you must listen. Don’t do this anymore. Don’t allow the pain to control your life. It isn’t worth it. Focus on how you can be of service to others, it will help you see your purpose in life.
@@NuNugirlyou are person, a whole person, who experienced some awful things. You are still you. No one can ever take that from you.

Great Wisdom, Great Teacher Great Respect! I am also a “Muslim” (Submitter To One Creator, One Creation, One Humanity) “Adonai Ilohainu Adonai Ahad!” God Bless you Rabbi 🤲😍

That's why I don't give anyone the opportunity to control me. People will be People. But I don't let people bother me or make me mad. I realize it's nothing but the enemy using that person to bother me because I'm full of joy.
Here is the issue I see here: people will be people. This generalization is hazzardous. Human race is made of individuals, variety of people. Most of them do their best.
Long life to you rabbi! You elevate us from our petty way of thinking. You’re the best rabbi I ever listened to, probably the best person I’v e listened to.
“You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people.” Genesis 50:20
@harry camper no. The devil is not "in control" according to the writings of the Second Covenant. More like a dog on a long leash who can do things within that limitation. Bad enough, but, thankfully, limited by God.
B'H... So need this piece of reminder.. thanks for reminding me, Rabbi that I'm not a victim, I'm a role model. Thanks for reminding we always have a choice.
Only those who have been enlightened can give advice like this - very wise indeed as I am facing this sort of problem and you have provided me with a way to accept this situation I am in - I am a muslim from Malaysia and I thank you for your wisdom Salam
I don’t think enlightenment is necessarily bestowed upon a person; however, you know? I think if you seek it, you will find it, within yourself, because it’s always been there. God is present within all of us, no matter the religion, the situation, context - we all have access to God; the love within us. It is within our free will, and available to us, at all times. I guess this has been my experience, anyway. We are all working on this, I suppose.
I really enjoy your lectures. It’s as though you understand that when people are seeking help or wisdom, the last thing they want to hear is “read the Bible” or have religion shoved down their throats. They are looking for real, useful, relevant advice.
Anger is a righteous gift. Anger can be the emotion that turns everything around for you. Getting Angry with yourself can push you to do better. Getting angry with others can cause them to look at themselves and change. Anger can be the emotion that finally gets the attention of those at fault!
The problem with this is that it assumes the anger is justified and that is hard to do. All too often, we are angry without considering the other person or side of the story.. We think our needs, wants and hurt are inherently important and they are not. The world doesn't care... Only we do. So when we are angry at others and want to point out their fault, it is really only our personal subjective opinion. For example...I am the bad guy in other people's story, whereas they are the bad guy in mine. My story is just as real as theirs, so who's right? We both are. So who is justified in their anger? We both are. So who should be corrected? We both should. Orrr... We can keep our opinions to ourselves and just live without trying to "fix" others, lest we be fixed.
@@Angeltara02 I dont agrew with that. There are two opinions, but only one absolute truth. Whoever abides in the objective truth is capable of having righteous anger which will result in assertiveness and boundaries.
@@zion367 I do not believe there is an absolute truth. Only perspective. Two people can view the same event but based on their lens of previous life events, will see it completely different. And there's no real way to say who is right or wrong. If you add a third person, you'll just get a third version of events. This is why eye witnesses seldom completely agree on what happen. There is no truth... Only perspective.
Great Quote: Don't let Your Existence Rob You of Your Life. People who hurt you have made bad choices. You can choose not to be their victim or a victim. People who do your wrong are not God, they just make bad choices.
I enjoy hearing input from Rabbis. I am a born again Christian. For me, studying the Old Testament was like finally reading a book from the beginning instead of starting at the middle aka The New Testament. I am so blessed by my heavenly Father. I love because He first loved me. His grace He poured on me this is how I can show grace to others. Yeshua is my Lord and Savior. Thank you Rabbi Munis for having videos on this platform.
I ve reached the point to understand more wrong people those destructive, my enemies I give them back full of affection since a few days..... The best way to live in peace and smart way to confront them >showing them what is empathy and love 🍀
Rabbi, Thank you, you just gave me an entirely different view on how to look upon those who do you wrong. I have been a victim of harassment for over 2yrs as of today and for the most part, I give it unto Gods hand bc i know he is the ultimate judge. Some are truly guided by demonic entities and there is no doubt, my adversary is one of them. The old me would of settled this a loooong time ago, but to the power and grace of God, he has lifted my spirit regardless of who, what comes against me.
Dear Rabbi, your wisdom is inspiring. Thank you for reminding me I don't have power over people as they do not have power over me. God decides the outcome, not me!
You are a breath of fresh air. And a true reminder. So Yes, if someone makes you a victim, if you are a victim because someone is hurting you with their actions and their choices, everyone has a choice, and if they choose to keep hurting you, just walk away from them. Period. They are not aligned with Gods words. Evem if they claim to be. Actions always speak greater than words.
After all this I realized that I had held my pain that my family's caused me with anger and hurt , no apologies ever from them. Yes they're repeatedly treated me the same, so . I praying to understand why and how to move forward. Thank God bless, he's teaching inmates, learn now.
" The freedom of choice means you can respond to the other person's freedom of choice with freedom" thank you for your wisdom words from a Muslim women.
If one can’t praise the humanity of this great scholar Rabbi Manis Friedman as one should, it doesn’t matter much because it is not the praise but intention that matter most. If one’s intention to praise is positive, then it will pass on to the man who deserves to be praised… Pakistan
I Love the God given wisdom of this wonderful Rabbi. It’s our choices that make us into bad people. God doesn’t want us to hurt anyone, but once we decide to, which means I suppose to just think about hurting someone, and we become a bad person immediately and if the person dies that is Gods decision, but because someone has exercised their free will to hurt someone they become a murderer. Also, if someone spreads lies about a person, then they must be trying to ruin a person’s reputation, and so this is a form of murder too, am I right??? I just thought about that!
Rabbi Friedman is like a spiritual father for me. I love his teachings, advices, the examples from the bible with it´s deapth, he ist a real blessing for me. I´m a christian and I cry almost at every teaching ´cause the Holy Spirit (ruah) is speaking to me & touching my heart & aligning me up for new mindsets. I love also his teachings about man/woman/marriage etc. I appreciate his wisdom and the light coming into my heart. And his peaceful nature makes me want listen to what he wants to share. So good!
Thank you Rabbi, and thank God for letting the insights flow in me as I chose to set a time to listen to this wisdom. Thank you, finally I have a much clearer view of what this verse really meant, Proverbs 9:10, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”
I listen to the Rabbis lectures and I really like his wisdom. I am a Muslim. Love and respect from Pakistan.

You shall be blessed my friend!

No one can do anything to me or affect me with their ill-intentions without the creators signature. It’s all for a reason ❤❤❤ brilliant
I'm not Jewish, but I must admit, I'm a huge fan. Much love from Nigeria 🇳🇬.
I am a Muslim from UK and I really enjoy listening to this Rabbi. Universal knowledge very similar to Sufism. Well explained concepts.
As a Muslim, you and the Rabbi are biological and spiritual “cousins.” God knows our hearts and loves us with a pure & eternal love. Assalamu alaikum to you, my friend.
Let people be free to choose so u'll see what they desire
That's why I don't give anyone the opportunity to control me. People will be People. But I don't let people bother me or make me mad. I realize it's nothing but the enemy using that person to bother me because I'm full of joy.
Here is the issue I see here: people will be people. This generalization is hazzardous. Human race is made of individuals, variety of people. Most of them do their best.
Amen.... hallelujah 🙏❣️💞
That’s wisdom. Wish I had come to that conclusion years ago. Well said.
People will be people without even knowing what exactly that entails! Only humans lol
I kept skipping this video until today. I'm a Christian but blown away at the wisdom impacted. Great teaching Rabbi
Thank you ...I have to hear this every morning now for the rest of my life.
I think that you, Rabbi Manis Friedman, are a light to this world. Thank you for doing what you do!
Long life to you rabbi! You elevate us from our petty way of thinking. You’re the best rabbi I ever listened to, probably the best person I’v e listened to.
Nice way of explaining fate!
“You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people.” Genesis 50:20
I am christian but I love to listen to you.
The only way satan can vent his anger on God is through you. Don’t let him take you down!
Yes its an important reminder if something happens to you god decides but if you chose the free will to do its your fault no one else
@harry camper Good question
@harry camper Because God evicted him.
@harry camper ok then, show us the truth. Chapters and verses, please.
@harry camper no. The devil is not "in control" according to the writings of the Second Covenant. More like a dog on a long leash who can do things within that limitation. Bad enough, but, thankfully, limited by God.
That was just beautiful. We are all inmates in this world.
B'H... So need this piece of reminder.. thanks for reminding me, Rabbi that I'm not a victim, I'm a role model. Thanks for reminding we always have a choice.
Thanks
Wise words, from a dearest Rabbi😊🤔
Shabbat shalom♥🕎🍷📖

Exactly what I am going through right now. This is gold!!! Well done. That really resonates to me.
Really needing prayers.
RABBI FRIEDMAN YOU ARE REALLY INTELLIGENT
May God richly bless you Rabbi, for wisdom and insight 🙏
One of my best favourite person,,, ,,
Only those who have been enlightened can give advice like this - very wise indeed as I am facing this sort of problem and you have provided me with a way to accept this situation I am in - I am a muslim from Malaysia and I thank you for your wisdom
Salam
Thanks for the kind wish And all the best to you too !
I don’t think enlightenment is necessarily bestowed upon a person; however, you know? I think if you seek it, you will find it, within yourself, because it’s always been there. God is present within all of us, no matter the religion, the situation, context - we all have access to God; the love within us. It is within our free will, and available to us, at all times. I guess this has been my experience, anyway. We are all working on this, I suppose.
God bless Rabbi Friedman and all of you lucky people who get to hear his words.
I love this message Rabbi. It rings truth to soul. Thank you.
I listen to your teachings and wisdoms which is very good. I am a christian thanks for your teachings and encouragement. Love and respect.🙏
Rabbi! What a great 👍 man you are!! As well as a mentor! You serve a great purpose in you’re life!
What a great rabbi, what a kind and wise soul ❤️🔥
“Don’t let your existence rob you of your life.” That hits.
I really enjoy your lectures. It’s as though you understand that when people are seeking help or wisdom, the last thing they want to hear is “read the Bible” or have religion shoved down their throats. They are looking for real, useful, relevant advice.
I do needed this! Praise God! “I fully understand, it my karma/ it my God” my attitude. Wow! Praise God.
Thank you!
Thank you Rabbi Friedman 🙏 God bless you 🙌
Rabbi you are a light in this world thank you for sharing truth and wisdom with anyone willing to hear you are appreciated
Such a wisdom he has. A true role model. Beautifully explained and so convincing.
Thank you Rabbi Friedman. May the Lord continue to expand your knowledge. ❤
Shalom. I am grateful for all these lessons of wisdom. Thank you. ❤️
Rabi,
You are simply wisdomrich and a great asset to people of God. Amen 🙏
Anger is a righteous gift. Anger can be the emotion that turns everything around for you. Getting Angry with yourself can push you to do better. Getting angry with others can cause them to look at themselves and change. Anger can be the emotion that finally gets the attention of those at fault!
Exactly. Anger in itself is not bad.
Anger can be good IF you learn from it .of we dont.
The problem with this is that it assumes the anger is justified and that is hard to do. All too often, we are angry without considering the other person or side of the story.. We think our needs, wants and hurt are inherently important and they are not. The world doesn't care... Only we do. So when we are angry at others and want to point out their fault, it is really only our personal subjective opinion. For example...I am the bad guy in other people's story, whereas they are the bad guy in mine. My story is just as real as theirs, so who's right? We both are. So who is justified in their anger? We both are. So who should be corrected? We both should. Orrr... We can keep our opinions to ourselves and just live without trying to "fix" others, lest we be fixed.
@@Angeltara02 I dont agrew with that. There are two opinions, but only one absolute truth.
Whoever abides in the objective truth is capable of having righteous anger which will result in assertiveness and boundaries.
@@zion367 I do not believe there is an absolute truth. Only perspective. Two people can view the same event but based on their lens of previous life events, will see it completely different. And there's no real way to say who is right or wrong. If you add a third person, you'll just get a third version of events. This is why eye witnesses seldom completely agree on what happen. There is no truth... Only perspective.
He speaks with such calmness and wisdom. Shalom!
Rabbi You are such an inspiration! Thank You sooo much!!!
Thank you Manis! I love you so much! You have been a huge key in my discernment of the truth.
I love his brave and tactful honesty - I rarely say what I think cause I don’t have his shrewdness, sensitivity, empathy and credibility.
Thank you, Rabbi. Always on time and straight to the point.
I cannot overatate how badly i needed to hear this. Thank you.
Great Quote: Don't let Your Existence Rob You of Your Life. People who hurt you have made bad choices. You can choose not to be their victim or a victim. People who do your wrong are not God, they just make bad choices.
I enjoy hearing input from Rabbis.
I am a born again Christian. For me, studying the Old Testament was like finally reading a book from the beginning instead of starting at the middle aka The New Testament.
I am so blessed by my heavenly Father. I love because He first loved me. His grace He poured on me this is how I can show grace to others. Yeshua is my Lord and Savior.
Thank you Rabbi Munis for having videos on this platform.
Love you brother love your wisdom the lord is my shepherd x
Thank you for speaking truth. Thank you for being an obedient servant.
I ve reached the point to understand more wrong people those destructive, my enemies I give them back full of affection since a few days..... The best way to live in peace and smart way to confront them >showing them what is empathy and love 🍀
Shalom ✡️
I'm muslim, I listen to you and I asked my children to listen to you, we're really impressed by your wisdom.May God bless you!
Thank you so much...such a pearl of wisdom...thank you again
Thank you Rabbi Friedman.
Rabbi, Thank you, you just gave me an entirely different view on how to look upon those who do you wrong. I have been a victim of harassment for over 2yrs as of today and for the most part, I give it unto Gods hand bc i know he is the ultimate judge. Some are truly guided by demonic entities and there is no doubt, my adversary is one of them. The old me would of settled this a loooong time ago, but to the power and grace of God, he has lifted my spirit regardless of who, what comes against me.
Thanks for sharing your powerful message!
Dear Rabbi, your wisdom is inspiring. Thank you for reminding me I don't have power over people as they do not have power over me. God decides the outcome, not me!
We all need God the one to help us guide us.
🙏🙏🌺🌺
I love this Rabbi. He's like a father figure 💓
Rabbi, Thank God, Thank You, I’ve never heard “free will” explained quite like this. ☦️🙏
You are a breath of fresh air. And a true reminder. So Yes, if someone makes you a victim, if you are a victim because someone is hurting you with their actions and their choices, everyone has a choice, and if they choose to keep hurting you, just walk away from them. Period. They are not aligned with Gods words. Evem if they claim to be. Actions always speak greater than words.
After all this I realized that I had held my pain that my family's caused me with anger and hurt , no apologies ever from them. Yes they're repeatedly treated me the same, so . I praying to understand why and how to move forward. Thank God bless, he's teaching inmates, learn now.
Thank you rabbi , soo much .
thank you Rabbi, your words always touch my heart.This message I will listen to many times,it is practical wisdom. thank you
" The freedom of choice means you can respond to the other person's freedom of choice with freedom" thank you for your wisdom words from a Muslim women.
Damn! I need to watch this 20 times.
Totally agree!!
If one can’t praise the humanity of this great scholar Rabbi Manis Friedman as one should, it doesn’t matter much because it is not the praise but intention that matter most. If one’s intention to praise is positive, then it will pass on to the man who deserves to be praised…

I Love the God given wisdom of this wonderful Rabbi. It’s our choices that make us into bad people. God doesn’t want us to hurt anyone, but once we decide to, which means I suppose to just think about hurting someone, and we become a bad person immediately and if the person dies that is Gods decision, but because someone has exercised their free will to hurt someone they become a murderer. Also, if someone spreads lies about a person, then they must be trying to ruin a person’s reputation, and so this is a form of murder too, am I right??? I just thought about that!
I really like his tone, and mannerism. I listen without question. Then think. The way it needs to be. We don't listen anymore. Thanks.
Thank you so much,this is my first time to hear from you powerful insight,I have learnt something,God bless you Rabbi
Rabbi Friedman is like a spiritual father for me. I love his teachings, advices, the examples from the bible with it´s deapth, he ist a real blessing for me. I´m a christian and I cry almost at every teaching ´cause the Holy Spirit (ruah) is speaking to me & touching my heart & aligning me up for new mindsets. I love also his teachings about man/woman/marriage etc. I appreciate his wisdom and the light coming into my heart. And his peaceful nature makes me want listen to what he wants to share. So good!
This is so important in life
God bless you and yours country jerrulshim Blesséd land and israel Amen Hallelujah 🙏🙏
I was taught as long as you do the right thing that is what counts.
Thank you Rabbi, and thank God for letting the insights flow in me as I chose to set a time to listen to this wisdom. Thank you, finally I have a much clearer view of what this verse really meant, Proverbs 9:10, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”
Beautiful words
So helpful
God bless you sir !
