I'm not Jewish, i love listening to this man. He always has a good honest message and answers
I just heard him on a video today. I’m not Jewish either but I was so awed by his message I looked him up to see if he had a channel of his own. So glad I found it.
the truth is sent to all, but the jewish just got the job of keeping the flame alive.
I am a Christian and I love listening to Rabbi Friedman.
I believe God's plan will be fulfilled no matter what I pray. Why would I want to change God's mind? My prayer changes me. Makes me more sensitive to the needs of others, lean more on God's word and plan, spurs me to charity. Helps me love better, maybe bring God's word to others. Even when I pray for others, it's really me who is helped.
I love your comment Lori 💕
It says everything about your relationship with God. 🙏🏾
Yes ✋✋✋
💯🙏
Rabbi Manis Friedman is a man who keeps his promise. He said "nothing but good news from now on" a few years ago. I have been hearing only good ever since. L'Chaim. Much gratitude for the Mitzvot of this Rabbi. Todah Rabah
He's a Levitical priest. Transmitter of God's word.
Malachi 2:7:
For a priest's lips shall guard knowledge, and teaching should be sought from his mouth, for he is a messenger of the Lord of Hosts.
@@SeekingToServeI believe I heard Rabbi Friedman say that he's a kohen, not a Levitical priest. A kohen is a priest, a descendent of Aaron, the first kohen.
@@Y1836Y it's the same thing. :) a kohen is a priest from the tribe of Levi. Aaron was Moses' brother; they were both from the tribe of Levi. The priesthood passed down only from Aaron's lineage within the tribe of Levi. Hence, a Levitic priest refers to the Kohanim. The other Levites were not priests.
We are Jews I like that you said a mother can mother from afar so can grandmothers and great grandmothers it is comforting thank you
I believe in prayers and people have their own ways of praying. I prayed hard when I was at my lowest and God did answer my prayer but I wasn't expecting it and it definitely left me speechless
Naa, apparently not.
Love it... my mom was gorgeous and had a great smile and blue eyes and that is how she still is to me, thank G-D!!!
❤
I’ve had prayers answered not all of em but I got what I prayed for. God is good ❤
I'm Christion living in Cyprus(Northern) and i totally agree with what you have shared. Full of wisdom Thank you.
Hello there.I am surprised that another Cypriot like me is here.Nice seeing you!! Without this meaning, that l agree with Rabbi.
Yes! prayers do work....sometimes right away or sonetimes very long...
but praying to God is the utmost .
Not all non Jews believe you become an angel when you die. I feel it’s just something parents say to young kids because they have no other way to explain death.
Good point. Stereotypes and anti this or that, need to stay away from. Thanks for posting. (And I feel for those angels)
Thank you Rabbi! How much can we thank for your teachings, only HaShem knows? The world need your TEACHINGS + the other RABBIES.😊
A Masterclass in the Jewish understanding prayer and death. Yasher Koach!!
Thank you Rav Friedman this is incredibly thought provoking.
Thank you rabbi
Thank YOU dear RABBI for your wisdom ❤😊😢
God Bless!
The message is received with gratitude.😊
I just discovered your channel, I’m not jew but i really like your words
Yes praying it’s work, it’s better to pray then complain. Prayers mean talking to God and thank God for his blessings and his loving kindness and pray for world 🌍 peace and to all men kind ❤❤❤✌️✌️✌️
Thank you Rabbi Friedman!!
✡️🙏❤🔥
Wish you and everybody here a beautiful day!!
💪🙂✌️🎶
Thank you Rabbi
Prayer changes...! We all have a purpose here... finding the purpose is the key. It might take a lifetime. Be humble and never give up. "HE MAY NOT COME WHEN YOU CALL, BUT HES ALWAYS ON TIME." ... all we need is a mustard seed of faith. No time is ever waisted ... just lessons to be learned! ❤
Amen 🙏 it changes us💯
I value the good Rabbi's thoughts
My prayers are always answered that's all I know 🙏
Thank you Rabbi Friedman Much appreciated , what an eye opening teaching 👏
Unanswered prayer is often with us. I remind myself, that my genuine prayer is my acknowledging HaShem's sovereignty. I might ask for what I hope for, but He has His divine sovereignty to respond how He chooses. Sometimes prayer does feel unanswered, but I know He always hears and desires genuine prayer.
Rabbi Friedman !!; this is about the best Lecture / Teaching on this subject I have heard in my life, and I have been here and involved in the Religious world for a long time .
Much Blessings peace and joy Rabbi.
Rabbi Manis Friedman you are giving an elixir of life.
Rabbi. May the peace of God be with you.
Thank you Rabi
Life is never die people just lost the body and soul wetting for the new body to come back ❤❤❤❤
Eye opening rabbi and inspiring .
It works for me! Amen!
The answer is respect. When we respect each others differences regardless of race, religion, sexuality we can all live in peace and not in competition and comparison.
One Creator❤
Without LOVE there can be NO RESPECT. Therefore we must love our neighbor as ourselves. But if we DON’T LOVE YEHOVAH GOD ABOVE ALL ESLSE , WE CANNOT LOVE OURSELVES, MUCH LESS OUR FELLOWMAN. Blessings of Shalom to you and your family.
Teapot, you are spot on. You are very correct. Respecting each others space. Also FEAR & REVERENCE FOR GOD. WE ARE HIS CREATURES.
@@maryjovergara9950 I think you've got it backwards. Without respect there's no love.
We don't need to love everyone. We do need to treat each other respectfully and with kindness. That's not what's happening. Yet.
Romans 8: 26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
Is a non-Jewish reference needed here?
yes @@Y1836Y
Oh!dear and revered Rabbaii, I am lost each time I hear your teachings:very enlightening, inspiring, and transforming..
Thank you Rabbi Friedman. Wonderful teaching.
Thank you for this wisdom! ❤️(fm the Netherlands)
When the day gets grey Rabbi Friedman brings colours back into the picture. I love it to listen it opens a universe and more of them beyond. Thank You !
Thank you Rabi...this is the truth...🙏
I really learnt such a wonderful explanation. Please tell us about preserving our bones? How and what's to be done. Thank you very much Rabbi Friedman. I enjoy your lovely talks. I am from Goa India
Thank you 🙏🏼 for your message. 👍🏻🕯❤️
Thankyou so much, your words are so enlightning and healing
“Gods Will Be Done.” Prayer is for Me..a reminder that the most important thing is Love and Peace. 😊❤
May everything over the world would become 1 in G-d.
Time is here to disappear into our actions of kindness.
i appreciate your wisdom and pure sincerity, Rabbi!
G-d protects you, the connected souls of holiness and goodness.
NAMASTE 🙏
Life doesn’t end at the death of the body. You continue and will eventually have your body but with different properties in the future. This is how I’ve understood it as a Christian. I am still trying to learn and understand as much as I can.
Thank you for your inspiring words
The Soul,s last time around really struck me because over many year,s now i have been saying to so many," Im o.k. with my choice,s and my decisions and i then say i sleep very well with my head on the pillow as i often pray from. I also repeat,im on my last go around? I often wondered what that meant! My SOUL remember,s or can recognize as you put it Rabbi, the Soul,s last time around😇VERY WISE WORDS INDEED.
Of course, if you believe that you will receive an answer. You also need to be open to receiving an answer you weren't expecting or wanting.
Where DEATH is concerned, my mother would tell us that the person who died has gone on a journey where his SOUL wants & needs to go. AMEN.
It's excruciating to see how different cultures have tried to understand and deal with the human condition. So many thoughts and ideas to try to make sense of existence throughout time. What a struggle.
Thank you very much Rabbi, always with wise words and presented in a very didactic way
יחי אדוננו מורנו ורבינו מלך המשיח לעולם ועד
The best way to pray is to be in action and helping ourself and others..
Life is not about going to heaven to be with God, but to bring God here. When he turley feels welcome, he will join us here.
Very nice and full of wisdom! Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Rabbi Friedman! ❤🙏😎
God always gives that what is good for his people! People ask for wealth...what if becoming wealthy means you become a horrible human being..so if your prayer is not heard..maybe it was best for you. I have now..much later in life...that many of my prayers were not good for me at that time...now i have more than i ever dreamed of...as now was the right time...
Thank you
Thank you ❤
Shneur Zalman Borukhovich born September 15 1745. This explains and prophesies a lot ! September 15. Old Style date of birth is September 4, 1745.
Rabbi Manis Friedman ❤❤❤❤
The mind that asks and the mind that seeks and speaks is the same mind that is thinking ;doing the doings of praying and asking the same mind that asks of it. When you realise that the mind that you have can not be seen be touched be smelled be tasted be held...but behold the mind is talking to itself through the mirror of itself witnessing itself from matter which is of no matter being the mind that is its own witness as reality as reflections, In the matters of reality.
Each is the mind of God....so who you asking for blame ❤
Great Message 👏
It can lift me up when I need a lift. It can calm me down when I need calming. From time to time it has inspired, it give me hope. More times than not my prayer is answered on the spot. I believe that all my prayers are answered. I may not like the answer, but that doesn't mean it wasn't answered. I've learned to accept the answers because it all has a way of working out.
Love this!
I'm a Christian and so obviously I have differences with Judaism. However this Rabbi man is sharing something that many of us can relate to.
Great teaching. However Christians we don't believe that when a person dies, they become an angel. No. We believe that the soul just goes back to where it was before, i.e to be with God (Psalms 90)
The Cult of Christianity has a plethora of sects just as it has a plethora of False teachings, you can find one that tickles your ears with what you want to hear, like becoming an Angel.
@@paulawallace8784Why don’t you start by eliminating your arrogance, and let others find out the truth without the need of insulting them. That is not how to teach others the way to the truth. You are not “Holier than thou”
@erickbove5482 Where did I say was holy or holier than anyone else? I didn't, nor do I think that I am.
@erickbove5482 I am a Gentile who is Repenting of a lifetime spent in willful BONDAGE to HEATHEN IDOLATRY/Christianity.
Now I REPENT of it all by proclaiming all that in my great Pride, Arrogance and Ignorance as an Idolatrous Antisemitic Christian that I refused to believe and acknowledge.
@erickbove5482 As Jeremiah prophesied, the Gentiles will come to see that they have inherited only Lies, Emptiness in which there is nothing of any avai!
Just as I and a plethora of Gentiles have done, only by the MERCY of the CREATOR, all things in His timing.
Obviously you aren't ready, may GD have Mercy on you as HE did to me.
My conversations with Hashem have been deeply profound and quite productive. I know my creator loves me and tries my faith in ways I can't really understand. My point is, in my experience it does,
I'm not watching this video but prayer does work 🙏 an I pray for you.
Amen!
I would have never believe that prayer works. However, I have personally experience the power of prayer.
Yes
Good Morning Rabbi, Gotta say this is a lot.Need time to digest.
Even if you pray the horrors of pain and death can come for all of us. My pray is to know love even in death because soul lives forever.
Oh, Blessed Rabbi of R'avi, WE=mc2😅 can have both, like being in🌄Heaven🌎on Earth, feeling lighter, with😂 Lovely, Unity in LIFE=mc2😃, Laughter, & Liberty🗽
I believe we go to school again based on what we hit or missed in the last life the soul absorbed, a perfect life on the eternal earth we may share with all the souls we travelled with over time
We don't believe that we become angels. We Christians are not stupid.
🤣🤣👌
IN HIS OWN TIME, GOD WILL MAKE EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL GIVING EACH MAN WHAT HE/SHE DESERVES & NEEDS. EVERY PRAYER BRINGS ITS OWN MIRACLE. PRAYER IS NEVER A WASTE OF TIME. IT IS A CONVERSATION WITH GOD.❤❤❤
Thank you God now that I'm here and thank you for when you have accepted me in heaven.. (if).
Amen yes
The avaricious is just that just as life takes care of life when we listen with intent to The Supreme Energy no mortal can give this satisfaction yes many are waking up…
In the event of death my belief is the ones who suffer are the ones left on earth who are struggling with the loss of a loved one. I believe you're right about the other part that nothing changes a soul doesn't die it moves to another place with the same thoughts and fears it has on earth. The good news is if you truly know God you won't feel abandoned at that point in time but a sense of divine relief. That's just my feelings about that subject. Who on earth really knows?
Very True
You have been blessed with a long life..I will look you up on the other end one day..And i will say didn't i tried to tell you ???
It is fleeting if you are not a chosen one. The deceased are waiting to return.. if they are chosen. Heaven will be here on earth for humans
How? How can someone mother or father from across the divide? I lost both parents. Young. They are gone. I have experienced no parenting since and it hurts me to my core. I have looked, and prayed and I never recovered. I hate life. Your words are often comforting. Not this time.
What if i'm not willing to stay on earth because God loves me ? what if i wanna go, how do i lose god's love for me so i can get outa here sooner ?
24:32 also how do you explain גילגולים because they aren’t exactly the same in my understanding?
“Or Miami.” 😂
DeSantisville!
Oh brother!
i want to ask you about the levites being offered to god as a wave offering and when was the last time it was done ? also , lets say hypothetically a person was born with gods word in their heart meaning they can feel gods words instead of having to read them , and they had been waiting for their teacher to show but never came ??
Why is it when I pray , the opposite happens? Does it mean I should should trust , because he knows anyway?
May I please ask a question? I would like to understand how repeating prayers over and over builds a closeness with Creator. I mean, if my (now adult) children came to me saying the same words over and over I would be worried about them and it wouldn’t build a bond or a love for the one who gave you life. I’m old. And it has taken a lot of years to find the one true God. I’m not comfortable just repeating words but really just talk and share with my Creator and be as close as possible. My life has completely changed. So please kindly explain the purpose in the repeated words to our Father. Thank you so much for all your teaching. It’s very helpful in all my learning! Blessings to you kind sir.
Yes praying works but you need to feel it from the heart, you need to realize it starts very early in life but it needs to be brought out of us through God
❤
but there's a psalm that says that human life is just a moment, like a flower in the morning blossoms and in the evening dries out ..
Thank you for this video, l lost my parents and my sister and I need to ask a question: you say the soul will come back to the same body, what about "gilgol neshamot" ( sorry I don't know how to say it in English) how do we know which body is it? for Say, if I'm alive when mashiach comes, will I meet them as I knew them??
Thank you Rebbi Manis hope you all well. I wanted to know though.. If the personality and thoughts is continueing with the Soul, then when we come back here for some reason.. we don't seem to share the same personality and virtues as the person we used to be, so if a jew was a gentle person and kind can he come back different or worse? or am I worng about it..I wonder what happens to that soul..
Godbless you all
Thank you very much, Rabbi Friedman. I have a question about what you said about the soul being the person's personality. I thought that the personality is a part of the person's externality and that the soul is their internal essence that we can't sense. My mother has dementia and her personality is no longer recognisable as how we remember her. But B"H she still has a soul
