I am a Christian pastor. Yet I teach my congregation exactly what the Rabbi is saying. Truth is Truth.
can't be Christian and support Israel.
thankyou
In my opinion: Yeah, but your beliefs take on identity practices that are expected to yield an untimate reality that IS impractical & impossible.
To say you are or aren't is identity politics and so you are forced to believe a set path inside a glass jar with a tight lid.
G-d doesn't identify Himself as a woman.
G-d is not a Jew.
G-d is not Catholic.
So why should we be anything that sets limitations on acquiring wisdom - that to Abramic faith is manifested in/about the Messiah?
Religion and identity are toxic to transformative spiritualism & robs one of the living privileges of life*.
Religion assigns meaning to make life meaningless outside its operating environment.
If you actually read from Genesis you might think something like if G-d had THE WORD beside Him commenting all about creating things, what sort of esteem would that be? Would it be belief?
I do not question G-d, but to speak to Scripture of words to mean vs meaning of words, religion is quite the crooked path to following someone else's ideas to see if they work while agreeing on circumstancal truths realized by how one perceives to believe rather than to believe what G-d has graced them with.
Some may argue G-d might've moved on from religion long ago to where the road to right & wrong disappears into pondering what is what.
Religion has its own sort of legalistic behavior & lacks the judicial prudence to determine post modern cases.
The only case is between two parties trying to find truthfulness even when people are incapable of speaking the absolute truth.
Religion hasn't proven its ultimate reality, only it has been responsive to it. Religion can't make anything happen, but shows a way.
It should be a crime in a lot of respects that must be redacted for RUclips audiences.
I am not Jewish, but I love learning from other religions. ❤❤❤ We actually have a lot in common. Thank you for sharing your perspective. 😊
Where are you from ?
@europeanhouse721 Missouri USA
From your persective we do. Not necessarily from ours.
@@613YY you should be happy that people are being positive and not antisemitic.
Us Americans share alot of our beliefs with the Jewish. Except we sin more an act like its no big deal.
Thank you Rabbi Manis Friedman for sharing this teaching with us.
Thank you Rabbi Friedman!! Shavua Tov!! Greetings from Guayaquil Ecuador!! After all this years of listening yours and other Rabbis teachings I started on November 9th 2024 a peregrination walking the PanAmerican highway from Lima Peru to Fairfax Alaska. I have walked many days, and even though I don't hitchhike, many times trucks and private cars stopped and offered me a ride, I accepted them cause I think is Hashem that has sent them, also without asking many gave me food and water along the way. H is guiding me and protecting me all the time!! May you and everybody have a blessed and positive week!! 💪✡️🙏❤️🔥🎶
The Rabbi is Brilliant! It`s what GOD needs from me! Make the world better!!!
Yes.
Yup. God has expectations of you and he expects them to be fulfilled
@@SerV689Expects? Thats a bit dictatorial. You didn't say G-d expects of us. Interesting.
@@613YY Well yes, God is the being that has the right to dictate what is right and wrong? What should and shouldn’t be done? Are you suggesting that God doesn’t have that right? As for you mentioning “us” over you, you’re reaching. If you interpreted my comment as “God has these expectations of you and not everyone” that the issue is with your interpretation not my grammar.
@@SerV689 They worship Abraham, and Christians worship God. - the King of Jews
Thank you Rabbi its always great listening to you God bless you
A great teacher here. Everything make sense. I don't know why some other people want to make religion so hard and scary. I have always felt like doing a good job and serving humanity is as good as praying. maybe even better than empty prayers. Thank you Rabbi. We all need your teaching. All religions
Always enjoy listening to your wise words rabbi!Thank you!👍💎
Dear Rabbijn
Only my grandmother was born into an orthodox jewish family , but i feel 100% jewish and completely understand your statement .
So clear ❤🕯️🕯️
God needs me , that is the answer I was looking for , simple as that….
Thanks for tour knowledge, and faithly wisdom.
Excellent. Mazel tov. Jewishness is decided by mothers, grandmothers, etc. You might check with a rabbi about your family ineage if you have not already.
It is not good to be alone sometimes we need to be alone to get clarity building up
Our resolve 😮❤
Did the rabbi say to always be with people?
Thank you Justin Pines for the interesting conversation.
Dear Rabbi I love you. Thank you. Your are a huge Blessing to the world. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am not Jewish
BH….appreciate your honesty rabbi……may HaShem continue giving you His knowledge after His knowledge and please continue sharing His knowledge..
Thanks for sharing. This reminds me of a verse of Scripture.
“when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God.”
-Mosiah 2:17 The Book of Mormon.
Inappropriate.
@ why? It’s positive like what the Rabbi said. You don’t think it’s good to find common ground with others?
I love the wisdom of the Rabbi. Even if I don’t quite understand it, his wisdom shines brightly. ❤
Yes! Just like Viktor Frankel's Logotherapy. Purpose is EVERYTHING. Purpose is HEALING.
Thank you for letting me know more about God.
God is not needy , we need God.
Agreed. God needs me is hogwash. God wants me. Big difference.
Thank you Rabbi ❤ Blessings
The rest of the conversation is incredible. Not to be missed.
Wonderful RUclips channel I am not Jewish and I am thankful to listen !
Some come as a blessing and some come as a lesson to be learned . I come as a “Good Samaritan “.
Our Creator is teaching us to love, Him and others. Our untrained mind wants our ways, we don't know that connection with God and His wisdom will give us a smile and happiness without anger or jealousy. He changes our heart.
No. Not quite true. We are connected to G-d. That connection is strong. Our soul wants that connection
Love is not the goal. Serving G-d is. That means bringing more light into the world and redeeming darkness with light. It means helping our fellow human being not only the obviously needy ones. For Jews it means doing as many if our 613 mitzvahs as possible. For non Jews it means keeping the 7 Noahide Laws with all their intricacies. It means making this world a better place for G-d.
@@613YY , and that is called love for God and man.
@@Marie-h5s Nope. Love is between people who know each other. It's not some casual thing with strangers.
Thanks.
I have learned a lot from you.
I wish New you before. May GOD bless you.
RIGHT ON, Rabbi.... we dont need 2b "Great".
we need 2 become HUMBLE.
I Admire Your Work! 🙏🇺🇲🦅
Thank you 😊❤🙏💝 Amen 😇
Am not Jewish but I love this thank you so much ❤
Thank you IGTK team for all you do to share these teachings with us.
I am from Turkey, a Bat Noah. I really love Rabbi Manis Friedman's videos, how a wise man. Hashem protects him and his family all the time❤
Does it matter to anyone that you are a Bat Noah? Only to G-d. What matters more is if you're serving G-d by not thinking of yourself and doing for others. That's what we are all to do.
אשריך!!!
השם אוהב אותך!!
מי יתן וישמעו כל תפילותיך תמיד🙏🙏🙏
You r Cro. Ancient Armenia . Turkey genocide of the Armenian and Greek and Assyrian people will never be forgotten
Life become Man, Truth become Flesh the Word of God.
The Messiah coming back.
To help make the world a better place, should we not first seek to improve ourselves as human beings, begin with self
great interview , really felt the connection that Rabbi Manis Friedman has with god
אתה פשוט רב של כולם. תודה על מי שאתה.
God needs me is hogwash. God wants me. Big difference.
Glad to have found your content again ✌️
To hear trust is very nice thank you
So powerful
Yes.
A truth is a personal conclusion. It is NOT necessarily a fact. The two terms are not interchangeable.
The command to wear fringes, and bind scriptures on our hand, etc. is a sign to us, God and man that we belong to the God of Israel and the whole earth. People need to know someone believes in God. It draws others to ask questions so they would know our Creator and be saved from a lifetime of torments.
No tzitzit and tefillin are for male Jews post Bar Mitzvah, not for everyone.
Whatever we go through in this world has a G-dly purpose. That is good news we all can appreciate.
We also don't get 'saved'. That is a non Judaic, non Torah, non G-dly concept. Some things may help protect us. Different idea altogether. Part of that protection is knowing that G-d gives each of us the strength and courage to continue on to fulfill our individual, unique mission for Him, that He needs each of us to do.
Where is my comment? Who bully censored it? Truth is not a good thing?
Blech. Non Judaic, non Torah teaching.
Another beautiful message Rabbi!🙏thank you
Tank you Rabbi Manis Friedman
Yes.
Thank you Rabbi Friedman ❤
what a brilliant way to convey the message.............thank you
Yes.
perfection STILL WANTS companionship, love, attention...honor !!
Don't let your belief get between you and God.
If it does there is something wrong with the belief.
Love this 👍
It's not belief.
It's called grief.
i love that God needs us never heard that before
Rabbi Manis Friedman and other Chabad rabbis and teachers have been sharing this concept for a few years. Prior to that the world was not ready to hear it. Thankfully people are since it helps us do what G-d needs done to perfect the world for Him.
Thanks
May you be blessed to continue giving with an open hand.
Hashem BARUCH attah my friend Rabbi manis freidman.
This is the foundation of Opus dei, serving God through your work.
Now why would Jews want to know about that? Piointless. People who adopt ideas from us are not impressive.
Where is my comment? Who bully censored it?
Blech.
"it's not good to be alone" - It isn't bad either, but it certainly is not good. Without anyone else to give your love to, love is only selfish. There needs to be another person to sacrifice for, otherwise it is not sacrifice, it is survival. God could have had endless perfection, but with only Himself, it is not a good thing. It simply is. The relationship is what makes something valuable. If there was no evil, there would be no good. Good is defined by what it isn't; Same goes for evil. If something can only be one thing, it is not praised by being what it is unable to be. For instance, we do not praise a tree for not being a rock. A tree cannot be a rock. But, we do praise humans for not being evil, because they could be if they wanted to be.
Many of them are; lacking the things that make them human like having no moral compass, no empathy, lack self awareness, self centered, manipulative and deceptive and see people as appliances and all relationships are transactional. If you think you haven’t met one you have. They just wear a mask and are covert. Thank God you walked on by.
Amen!
As a Christian, I must admit this view of our creation is very bizarre to me. Over and over again, I have been told God needs nothing, he doesn't need us, but he created us for...reasons. I am not a mere dabbler in Christianity, but I have never been given a proper motivation for why God did what he did in Genesis. I admit the Rabbi's explanation does make sense, but it seems there is no place for it in any version of Christianity I have yet discovered. Though it would be very interesting to bounce such ideas off of people who are far more educated and fluent in Christian ways than me. (Edited for typos.)
Did you know that we do not follow the teachings of your religion? Nor will we ever. Whether you (and others) like or believe it ir not you have been taught a lot of things are inaccurate that can't be reconciled with the truth. Torah is truth. G-d's truth. There is no other truth. Truth doesn't have versions or perceptions. It is absolute. These 'ideas' as you call them are from thousands of yesrs ago. Nothing new to 'bounce' and see if they "work" for people. That would not be the truth.
Me too
Where are you from?
God wanted a son to bring all of his children together 🙏
@@TerrySueStonerNo. Never. Ever. Heaven forbid.
After I noted your statement
Creating a life that matters
I saw the word beyond
A simple way:
I think of it like if you grid space. Everyone has things in their lot in life that might include a black hole (something that sucks) some bright spots.. some dull rocks.. how far you go to obtain or see a light from your territory .. or move to circles that rotate around or with others.. but along any which way you look .. There is light along the way.. even if it means waiting/weighting Through What appears dark and cold to reach next light sources.. and that within that area of space.. there are people who need inspiration.. advice, guidance.. a dual.. some opposition.. which can transform someone elses space or lot on life to include ur light..
I imagine shooting stars arent dying.. they are relocating to somewhere that needed them so much it Drew them away to Be seen as a hero you “wished upon” .. there is no gravity in space.. no air..
If you consider each person in their space.. like a Petrie dish .. your adding or taking away .. but sometimes taking from an area thats way bright.. can be just as Beneficial as Shooting off to bring light to some’where You havent been before..
Its much more fun to have Move’ment and not to be stuck in a lot in life.. I dont want to be stuck alone in mine.. When i can Have Lights from every’ where..
I know my lot has something someone else needs.. but I dont like being that .. atleast here i can be more ..
No one wants to be the one whos lot is so messy no one comes to visit or want to Be part of your space.
But imagine having lots to think, say .. Feel.. Do.. and Having No one to share it with.. hoping just for a small moment.. ur purpose is to stay put.. but shine for others so brightly they can see you from a mile away way.. and want to be someone rely on to Give them food for thought.. in their loney dark corner of the world.. so that atleast theres a view they can choose to look at and admire and for a brief moment.. forget their lot sucks.. from making bad choices . Echo back. Even a black hole offers something to learn from .. and is different For others to consider.. to the rest.. im sure its illuminating and A unique view of the one who has the black hole.. wondering what that lot in life. If anything. Should make people appreciate all they had in their lot that gave them Desire and purpose to shine for others..
I imagined myself as a Ray or light hiding behind stars and using my rays to shoot ither stars .. and the stars turn around thinking it is the Bright one.. and its the universal child cloaked in fab’brick.. of space. Thinking its cute to rays Others..
Giggling and being mischievous.. As the only es’cape from the Cold and dark.. gripping onto each star .. and hoping they wont be mad .. While she Holds on tight…. In hopes that if she floats off.. theres a line to Grab hold of that will Draw back in to another light offering her a place to c’hawk (chalk) in their black board.. an outline of ideas. For someone brighter to overlook and decide what needs to be cleaned up (like in good will hunting) and offering a place to think out loud for that universal child who wants grand parents everywhere to want a visit.
Thanks for the food for thought.. It helps my brain not to go stir crazy in my cell. And if ive ever Off’ended.. i apologize.. sometimes My Attitude Gets me into trouble my heart wishes hadnt ., im grateful for the Opportunities to correct previous positions.. and the generosity of those who Overlooked the bad times. In hopes in raising her to reach for people after .. To hold on to someone when shes Afraid shes lost everything. so that someday shes like that for someone else.. Suspending them in her lot .. Giving them a purpose too.
So that when gravity of choices .. return them to grounded…. maybe they still have a place to go that feels light. (Space)..
There was a jewish man who named his daughter “Elora” means light of God.. i loved That they put so much thought into her name and its meaning.. and i wanted that for my jewish name..
I loved it because it was “El” like God and a low’ra .. ra being a little light .. or the sound a monster makes “raw” its opposite “war” so i dont have to live on mars (which is raw and war).
So while in my life i have to be that one…. hear… I can be A space cadet Outside of my cell.. and ex’panned … to tunnel a worm hole .. or War’m someone else up to recharge them in their faith. Ultimately hoping that even from a dis’stance.. eye can Be More .. even if its knowing what not to do or say .. still helpful. Distorted views and lenses.. Still are fun to look through/threw… thats why we watch scary movies and go to fun houses but dont live there.
Thank you rabbi
Thanks Rabbi Friedman
Yes.
Years have not been kind to Christopher Walken ever since he appeared on SNL and was minimized to a fucking cowbell joke. God have mercy on us all for doing it 15:11
Beautifully said thank you
Yes.
"Anything we do that makes the world better, is serving G-d's purpose."
Yes.
God does not need us. We need Him! We ‘get to’ be included by God to be part of His work.
You may enjoy being needy. We do not.
If G-d didn't need us why did He create us? To send our souls out of the bliss of heaven to be embodied on this earth, to endure challenges, to be sent back to heaven? G-d doesn't need to be needed. He wants to be wanted. In a relationship. An intimate one with us.
Let us strive to make the world a better place. (I'm an atheist.)
Hei Teves! Good Yom Tov!
How beautiful it was, that Henoch was invited in HaShem’s Own House.

The Creator does not need anything. He is Self-Sufficient.
And feels bored-out, obviously.
@@anmevnorger9375 This is a stupid comment.
Love you rebbe
Rabbi Manis Friedman, wonderful as he is is not a rebbe. Chabad Chassidus, which RMF teaches, has 7. They were and still are all extraordinary people. Rabbi Friedman learned with our Rebbe Our last until the coming of Moshiach. Rabbi Friedman is a kohen who traces his lineage to Aaron. Very special.
Thank you ❤ We love God.
Wonderful Rabbi ❤
For everyone who was counting on Shabbos and Shabbat to be attainable, the end of the world due to disbelief would be blasphemy against all life including its Author.
What are you talking about? Attain Shabbat?
11:17 I love seeing this ty ravi
What a blasphemy! He needs us to fix the world?! On the contrary we need Him every second in order to exist! We are here to know God and His ways, because only He is the unknown treasure, which endlessly manifest to us. "God was and there were nothing except Him and He is now as He was before". The plurality is only illusion. He is One the Many!

Thank you so much rabbi

Interesting.
Yes.

Thx💜
GOD doesn't need us.
He is all mighty. We are not.
We need God for everything including our daily food.
God created this world for us to test us if we respect all that God has created for us. That doesn't mean food, plants etc. Only. That means people to.
I have found all of what the Rabbi says to be very true and I found it before I ever heard about this Rabbi ! I found it when my wife of 62 yrs went to Heaven a yr ago and I was even wondering if I should wash and clean the 38 bullet first AND STARTED laughing at myself thinking our dumb I was about to die and thought the bullet ought to be clean , WHY ? God said , wait , I want you to do something for me ,first ! I read Ezekiel long ago and liked the part about the Bronze UFO 'S GOD USED TO BRING A GROUP OF PEOPLE THERE ! So, not being shy anymore , I asked God to come get me in one of those vehicles and bring my wife with you and members of her family if you like ! I'm not crazy yet , but this is the way it happen that kelp me alive to go on. So, I sorta pretend AND PRAY TO HIM , to help me say and comment things to help Israel , I guess because it was the one thing that helped me as a very depressed poor nobody when I read a small NTB a kind old lady gave me at 12 yrs old . But, before that , I knew and felt God even with the hell going on in my family then . Funny ,isn't it ?
Blessings to you that you may find peace of mind soon.
I think everyone is different. I love being with people, but my husband would rather be alone. 😂
Since you are married your husband us not alone.
We are not bring taught about individuals. Alone. The only one on this planet. Alone. The only person on an island. Alone. The only person in a country.
Yet a mother never rests I love I have many sons.HASHEM is good..
We can fix our little piece of earth without god or doing it for a god

We have the same job just mine is home orientated

Rabbi Manis; Sir in listening to this teaching episode it came to my mind " Can or do gentiles use the phillactory"? Please excuse my spelling! In all the numerous lectures I've listened to I can't remember this question being answered! Respectfully AEC USN RETIRED.
Can they? No. Do they? No. Phyllacteries are more commonly called tefillin. Tefillin are a mitzvah for Jewish men. Since it is a mitzvah there are many restrictions and guidelines for the proper performance of laying tefillin.
@613YY Thank you for your timely response to my questions. I hope my curiosity does not offend.
@613YY PS, Sometimes curiosity and understanding of cultural religious differences can be confusing and lead to a misunderstanding that was meant as respect.
@@gordonwallace3584 you're welcome. Of course not. Why would it?
Where did my response go? Bully censors?
My forth channel since October 2023 ,
Religion is dependent on the faith of the people as is god if either lost that faith they die.
9:54 wow great way of putting it rabbi
Don't compare God to people about being alone and needing us.
Exacting,god to man is friend that guides and cares,but man always fall for devils friendship
As a Muslim I couldn’t disagree more. The creation of the heveans and earth is far greater a creation than us humans. We have free will, we can do good or we can do bad and that cover only benefits us. If you do a good mitzvah you do it because it benefits you. If you don’t use your computer on Shabbat it doesn’t change god’s majesty 1 iota, but it helps you repair your relationship with him.
Your misunderstanding of mitzvahs is unfortunate. G-d created mitzvahs with a purpose. A G-dly purpose not a human one. All to be utilized to perfect this world for Him blessed be He. We keep Shabbat for Him. To reunite with G-d after the toils of the work week. As a reminder of the creation and a glimpse of the World to Come here on this perfected world.
This is all about Him. G-d's wants and needs. Not ours heaven forbid.
@ thank you for engaging. I may have misused the word mitzvah because I’m not Jewish. But isn’t a mitzvah a good deed? (In Islam it’s called hassanat).
Would feeding the poor be a mitzvah? If so how does that help god? If he wanted he could rain maana from the sky and feed everyone. Can you help me explore this?
Thank you
