USA Latino Sounds kinda like my story... well not really but. My Ex dumped me and he wouldn’t talk to me. I was so distraught and I just needed to see him! So, I applied for a job at his company in his department. I ended up getting hired at the company BUT they offered me a better position in a different department and it was the highest paying entry level position there. After I found that out, do you think I gave him a second thought!??? Especially to know I was trying to get him back only to be making more money than him! Lol I only saw him once after that at our Christmas party and I barely noticed him! What a blessing! Life is funny like that.
Victoria, between 2011-2019 I contained those same prickly thoughts. I became a victim of sadness, empathy, and anger over that which I had no means to alter. Through the Rabbi, his considerate delivery brought enlightenment. Today, a wise Matriarch spoke this concept and my mind's sight was not clear. As Rabbi spoke, we don't think this way. *My limited teaching and learning and application led me to believe /"feel" misunderstood. I was being Needy! Some in constant isolation from family are better role models than some who have Freedom. Choice: acknowledge it, do our part, and try to pass on this crystal clear pathway to Freedom and a powerfully productive better adjusted mindsetlife and relationships. Quality of our thoughts. How to teach children, preteens, teens and young adults this.
We just have different opinions...God doesn't get to make decisions...we do! It's just that we decide the outcome of our choices... wether we like it or not!
Well.. there is another thing.. People don´t treat you badly, because they want to, but because they see no other option. They need to.. Also, you decide it´s bad what they did, so you brought the "evil" into the world and what do you know? Sorry, evil people just don´t exist, so we do not have a need for Karma, that´s just a fairy tale, like God working everything out. The truth is much, much simpler. Nothing supernatural and just people trying their best, but not always being capable of being kind. Usually through no fault of their own. And there is just so much you can do to avoid hurting others. You think that lettuce wants to be eaten?
In our minds, we give people way too much power over us. But it’s just an illusion, a trick of the enemy. There is no power but the power of God. Such an awesome video❤️
This doesnt apply to a toddler who was abused and raped by his caregivers. The toddler grows up to be what kind if adult???? The mental health of that child/adult is questionable
You give God too much power. Have a little faith in you. No need to judge others, but if you can do that out of your own volition in stead of because of God asking you, wouldn´t that be way more powerful? If you feel you need God for that, fine, whatever floats your boat. But please refrain from telling people there is no power but the power of God, especially children.. That´s just trying to keep them small. We have had enough crusades. Nobody needs God. Don´t save me. Oh and good news, that enemy is not real either.
@@JJ-yu6og why is this rabbi so oblivious to the hate and the evil that's committed against these children . Warning you don't Rita's ones about child abuse or abusive parents
I fully agree Rabbi. I usually tell people who believe they made my life miserable that they must stop giving themselves too much credit because it's only God who determines my destination
This doesnt apply to a toddler who was abused and raped by his caregivers. The toddler grows up to be what kind if adult???? The mental health of that child/adult is questionable
@@JJ-yu6og If an abused child made it through that it could only be easier later on I think. If you retaliate or do it yourself you are doing what the evil people want. Being like them.Who know what twisted thoughts are in the minds of child molesters. I think demons reside there..
Jojo Jo / the victim alone has the right to raise the issue of forgiveness or of revenge. I cannot understand the ones who blame the victims for revenge when this means to make the abuser to pay for his abuse.
@@JJ-yu6og I think you are missing the point. You don't have to forgive and forget everything. There are consequences for your actions. But if someone can get the corrage and move on to a healthy life its better
The first time I am seeing this Rabbi speak. I’m not Jewish, but I am always open to hearing wise men from any faith. He is wonderful! He really makes sense....we have a choice to be a victim or not towards people that hurt us!
This should be taught to everyone. Whether someone interprets "God's plan" as fate or as God's plan, this powerful wisdom remains. I, like millions before me, independently discovered this distinction that no one directly has the power to affect anyone, making blame "vanish in a puff of logic," but Rabbi Manis Friedman communicates so concisely and so clearly. That influence is a wonderful gift to the world. Thanks again, Rabbi.
Wow this is powerful. And for those asking “well what about kids?” Guys, he’s not saying that children can’t be victimized. As they grow up they have choices to make, just like we all do. What they choose to do with their lives, if they survive the abuse or the hurt, that is their choice. If they don’t survive, then the person that hurt them made their choice. It’s not a good one, God watches. God knows all. You have to trust that god will bring justice. Emunah, God is in control.
Thank you so much for this video Rabbi. I've been suffering and facing betrayal from people around me but by the grace of God I will come out on top. Your video really helped give me perspective 🙏
What an excellent speech. And such a unique view point. It gives the person power when it is easy to feel disempowered if someone has chosen to treat you so poorly. Thank you. I will listen to this again and see if I can fully embrace this way of seeing. Much appreciated! ✨✨
God bless this man! This has seriously been one of the wisest things I ever heard. Plus, bcuz of the bad choices I did during my youth I felt like I don't have the authority to teach anybody anything, because I was being “stupid“. Now I know that even in the midst of all of that I still have the value to teach. This is very powerful! Thank you so much!

For the last nine years that I have studied Judaism I have struggled on Saturdays Shabbat I haven't talked to my sister years and I waited for her to call me and say let's go to lunch with do something and no call I've listened to you on some of your speeches and I finally learn to let go knowing now that she won't ever call thank you Rabbi Friedman
@@cleveland3357 Dear Jack. No I think it goes back a long way between me and my sister I'm her younger sister my son has passed on in 2004 before his death disappearance murder I was highly successful I own two homes I had a good job and I help my family out as much as I could when this happened to my son I had started getting health problems I lost my job I had to sell one of my homes to open up my financial umbrella well I grieve I went into my sister's house paid my rent to my sister but the sin the sin was there and her home she was married and her husband allowed her to go out with other men her marriage broke up when I was there and all I told her was if it was me I would have walked out of the relationship she blames me for her breakup and at that time I wasn't even into the Torah I cannot call her my brother just passed away about 2 weeks ago she was there at the hospital with me and my family is she did not say one word to me I did wait for her to call until I found myself on Saturday just getting sick emotionally over it I used to live next door to my mom and my sister lived in the basement apartment in my mother's house my mother gave me a print of a Picasso this Picasso was worth a little bit of money it had an official seal of some type on the back and yes it was on canvas I thought nothing of it rolled it up and put it in my closet I work nights my sister went into my house and took it about a year ago my brother what's going down Broadway in Denver and saw it in some antique shop he went in ask questions about it and said he bought it from a couple she gave them $10,000 for it
yes amazing how we hold out wantin the other person to do or say and arent we the exact copy or image of the person that mistreated us. both are waitin or expectin somethin from the other ..meantime life is fleetin..so neither are important as think. God is most high not people that make bad choices.
I am so encourage that Rabbi is speaking to inmates a lot of brothers in lockdown need to hear this message .I like the Holocaust reference brothers need to hear slavery was not a choice. And Jim Crow and systemic Racism should not keep them in perpetual state of Victim hood Thank you Rabbi 😊
This is great advice for adults. What he is saying is only true when you're an adult. If you were a child suffering abuse from parents when you were totally helpless and dependent on them to meet your needs, then you *were* a victim. You may need to do family-of-origin work if you suffered abuse or neglect as a child that is keeping you stuck now. Healing family-of-origin issues can be the key to living joyously in the present moment.
Good bless you Rabbi. Wize! I am one orthodox christian, strongly believe that Christ endeed complete the idea of the Old testament and is truly My God. Personal choice when is up to the choices. Cheers!
Thank you for your shiur . It helped me with the reality I have been struggling with in a very difficult time in my life.I blamed the people who caused pain and worse to a loved one. Ishaar choach. People do things and we are always in Hashem's hashgacha. Thank you.
Great advice, Rabbi. Why does no one wanna talk about the stalkers ?? Anyone who knows me can vouch for my generosity, but over the years I've come to learn just how dangerous it can be.
Wow such great advice. My Father passed away. I kind of see your videos and as you are talking imagine your my Father giving me advice like my Father would. God bless you ❤️
Rabino friedman l learn everyday it is something usual to say from quite a lot of people, I a feel really lucky to learn from a person like you with such a clear inteligent mind that I have no words to express the impression that this has done to me, thank you for spending your time to teach to others so we can have the oportunity to make profound reflections of human matters I start to follow your videos I send you my best wishes
But how do you act towards someone who mistreated you with no good reason? When people lash out at you because of their own pain and insecurities? Someone who is abusive towards you? How do you deal with them? It’s so hard to take the high road with those people, especially if they are not remorseful
And when you want to be a teacher-for others , them don’t listen nothing ! Only words words ... nobody want to learn nothing! Everybody, tgey learn - in their experience directly from LIFE ! Who want to learn ... is blessing! How many people they are AWARE???
I think this was the best speech I’ve ever heard in my life! Wow, thank you, & thank God for you. This was the first video I’ve watched of yours, but I subscribed. I LOVE your perspective on life & I’m definitely going to implement this in mine. My eyes are wide open now!

My freedom of choice is too send the ones that hurt themselves trying too hurt me ,love ,I rise above them knowing I was the better person in the relationship, loving me for the first time in my life...
@@robbyethomas-ciao2022 thank you for your kindness of words ,they inspire me even more ,they have touched my heart much appreciated, hurt is only a word to me now I wouldn't let it in ,life is ment too be enjoyed , thank you again. Take care.
You forgive them so you dont cause them harm because hate is equivalent t murder. Leave them alone and they should do the same. Unhealthy relationships are not good.
The word says God works all things out for the good. That does not mean that you're not been a victim of someone else's selfishness. With divorce which I think means any badd situation if you have a way to get out get out (hes cheated or abused you)you don't have to stay and suffer their abuse. I agree you shouldn't let your past rob your life. That does not mean you haven't been a victum.
People acclimatize themselves to what they receive if your family sees you as a giver, they will see that as a norm and get spoiled. You will never hear the end of it with people who give an inch and take a mile.
I am sorry but I could have a bad tree. I am writing this as I am experiencing a low in my bipolar episodes but as of right now I feel as if I don't have a choice of anything. I try my best to be kind, nice and , good yet everyone and everything fucks me over for being too nice. I want to disappear. My doctor told me I have a choice of how I react to things but after so much betrayal I have found myself lashing out faster than before. I can't stand this abuse I just scream and slam my head on anything possible. I am seeking therapy because I know the positive side will occur one day
Still being held hostage and I need to be rescued immediately and I’m not dealing with this psychopath Blanche and Brandon and their friends and child abusing families. so please send someone to come and pick me up immediately now! From 1649 16th st where I have been waiting for almost 2 weeks! I don’t know where my real children and grand children are and I need emergency assistance immediately Thank you 🙏I have no working communication device and I need in person communication only please thank you so much for your support.
Ohh yes Rabbi I do think that way. I was educated as a Christian. But we had the sunday school and that always fascinated me. Thank you much for your humor and your vise words. Thanks a lot. Is wonderful listen to what you say :-) One question: Am I a Jew even I was not born into a jewish family? I always and I remember in my school times my best friends always were jewish but not hard core. Does it even matter? Thank you. Peter
@@avazworld6549 if u do not protect ur self from the bully he will keep on bullying u, meantaly or physicaly. U dont fight back,or talk back they will keep coming at u. Fid help does who are brave enough to fight back. Thats my expirience from being bullied , only fighting back stoped it.
@@lovenlightman I have had that happen to me too. That is why I said you have to try not to hurt people. Obviously you cant let people hurt you . It is an almost natural reaction to duck or move out of the line of fire. If you think that is not going to be enough to let you get out of there then I do believe you can do something about it.This reminds me of when I had a boyfriend who used to beat me up. One time he was gonna punch me in the face. Not where I could move or duck out of the way .He had me held up against a wall heater holding my neck with one hand and pulling back his fist to punch me. I braced myself thinking this was gonna be a really bad punch.I was thinking God please help me .Next thing I saw was my boyfriend on his knees holding his shoulder and crying ,"ahhh it hurts." It seems his shoulder or arm dislocated. Maybe God grabbed his arm to stop him causing his shoulder to dislocate.I then took the chance to run.
Yes I hear you and I've been hart by my ex husband because of domestic violence marriage and I divorced my ex husband of that he hart me. Thank God I don't get hart again. Now God is looking down on me. Yes I am a victim of domestic violence relationship and choose to be happy and single woman
My husband beat me and stole all my money this Christmas Eve ..we got in a argument and I said things and he got angry and attacked me..I gave him alot of power over me it's hard but God is good we have to only look to him
Yeah people can victimize children and yes people do that all the time. Children are the most helpless, they really have no ability to defend themselves physically or emotionally from abuses. Why you think there are so many messesd up grown-up around?
When you encounter a jealous person remember there unstable and neededy. Just stay away from them and let them go. This is forgiveness let the force of GD. Universe change them. But staying around negative energy will just drain you. And cause considerable pain and suffering for there victims.
Rabbi Friedman your saying if I hurt someone just the fact that they are hurt isn't my doing?? People don't have that ability/choice to choose the outcome. Its sounds like are free choice ends up being overturned by God, which means that are free choice ceases to have power unless god allows it to. Example: If I know that a person will be hurt by something i can choose to say to him, him being hurt is gods decision?! Please answer, I need some clarity @Rabbi Friedman.
I was fired from a good job in a buerocracy after falsely accused of wrongdoing. I went into a state of depression mixed with great anger. Fortunately, I later landed a much better job. Partially based on good references from my former colleagues who knew of my case.

I’m in great respect of this Rabbi. This is exactly what we need to hear. It puts everything into perspective. Thank you, great wise man!
I so sorry for you and your sweet family
My freedom of choice is too send the ones that hurt themselves trying too hurt me ,love ,I rise above them knowing I was the better person in the relationship, loving me for the first time in my life...
Avril, You're a phenomenal person on the path that surpasses the ordinary human understanding. This is where we should all aspire to ascend.

That was life altering! Thank you!
Seriously thanks so much.
So happy to find this teaching today.Greetings to all Chabad in Salem Oregon from Karye Dianne Rina in Williamsburg Virginia.
Thank you for these kind words 🙏 much appreciated
This message is deep and I'm looking to implement the lessons in my life, henceforth. Thank you Rabbi.
I am a Christian but your message is for the hole world.
You are great person.
You forgive them so you dont cause them harm because hate is equivalent t murder. Leave them alone and they should do the same. Unhealthy relationships are not good.
Thank you SO much! Immensely grateful for this message! Exactly what I needed to hear at this time.
Forgiving is one of the ways I accumulate light and warmth.
Wise words Steve. I will take this on board.
Amen. Thank you for sharing, Blessings.
your speech change up my mindset thanks to this positive speech god ishappy with your life
I put like because this man told true words. But it depends on one if obeys to those rules or not also up to one's choice of freedom.
For myself I would never hurt anyone because GOD Would punish me.
Amazing sermon. Ty!!
I just stumbled upon you sir... glad I did! Love the message! ❤
Thank you I really needed this!
Thank you 🙏 I really needed to hear this.❤️
The word says God works all things out for the good. That does not mean that you're not been a victim of someone else's selfishness. With divorce which I think means any badd situation if you have a way to get out get out (hes cheated or abused you)you don't have to stay and suffer their abuse. I agree you shouldn't let your past rob your life. That does not mean you haven't been a victum.
I would love if you talked more on this topic. I need to understand more to move forward. Thank you!
People acclimatize themselves to what they receive if your family sees you as a giver, they will see that as a norm and get spoiled. You will never hear the end of it with people who give an inch and take a mile.
My mother used to tell me everything in life happens for a reason good or bad
sometimes things just happen.
Thank You Rabbi. G-d bless you!!
This is true. By my church family. 10 year. Physical and mental abuse.
I am sorry but I could have a bad tree. I am writing this as I am experiencing a low in my bipolar episodes but as of right now I feel as if I don't have a choice of anything. I try my best to be kind, nice and , good yet everyone and everything fucks me over for being too nice. I want to disappear. My doctor told me I have a choice of how I react to things but after so much betrayal I have found myself lashing out faster than before. I can't stand this abuse I just scream and slam my head on anything possible. I am seeking therapy because I know the positive side will occur one day
Just don't give up, good days still could come
Still being held hostage and I need to be rescued immediately and I’m not dealing with this psychopath Blanche and Brandon and their friends and child abusing families. so please send someone to come and pick me up immediately now! From 1649 16th st where I have been waiting for almost 2 weeks! I don’t know where my real children and grand children are and I need emergency assistance immediately Thank you 🙏I have no working communication device and I need in person communication only please thank you so much for your support.
God bless you Rabbi , you changed my perspective.. salute you . 🌷
Ohh yes Rabbi I do think that way. I was educated as a Christian. But we had the sunday school and that always fascinated me. Thank you much for your humor and your vise words. Thanks a lot. Is wonderful listen to what you say :-) One question: Am I a Jew even I was not born into a jewish family? I always and I remember in my school times my best friends always were jewish but not hard core. Does it even matter? Thank you. Peter
Thank you!
rabbi give religious sermon on friday namaz to muslims at a masjid in Jamica queens 176 and jamica ave to muslims ameen
But if you don't protest of their bad behavior they think that you don't understand, and keep doing and make a habit of that.
True and my greatest lessons in life is to let God deal with the evil. Since some people get pleasure in watching me suffer

@@avazworld6549 if u do not protect ur self from the bully he will keep on bullying u, meantaly or physicaly. U dont fight back,or talk back they will keep coming at u.
Fid help does who are brave enough to fight back. Thats my expirience from being bullied , only fighting back stoped it.
Sometimes those that you tell about the bad things happening are in on it.
@@lovenlightman I have had that happen to me too. That is why I said you have to try not to hurt people. Obviously you cant let people hurt you . It is an almost natural reaction to duck or move out of the line of fire. If you think that is not going to be enough to let you get out of there then I do believe you can do something about it.This reminds me of when I had a boyfriend who used to beat me up. One time he was gonna punch me in the face. Not where I could move or duck out of the way .He had me held up against a wall heater holding my neck with one hand and pulling back his fist to punch me. I braced myself thinking this was gonna be a really bad punch.I was thinking God please help me .Next thing I saw was my boyfriend on his knees holding his shoulder and crying ,"ahhh it hurts." It seems his shoulder or arm dislocated. Maybe God grabbed his arm to stop him causing his shoulder to dislocate.I then took the chance to run.
VERY VERY PROFOUND....Your wisdom is in your words, just unbelievable. I wish and pray, more people come here. Thank you
Thanks you very much more love.
Thanks rabbi
For this wonderful wisdom
Yes I hear you and I've been hart by my ex husband because of domestic violence marriage and I divorced my ex husband of that he hart me. Thank God I don't get hart again. Now God is looking down on me. Yes I am a victim of domestic violence relationship and choose to be happy and single woman
My husband beat me and stole all my money this Christmas Eve ..we got in a argument and I said things and he got angry and attacked me..I gave him alot of power over me it's hard but God is good we have to only look to him
Sometimes people that hurt you didn't mean to..or didn't realize they did ..
And are sorry...
I am ..I didnt mean to..
And am sorry...
Shalom
this is exactly what i have been thinking for days...
Also the speaker looks like some GOOD WIZARD who is trying to help prevent the bad in the world
Wow. That is tremendous stuff. Thank you Rabbi
Yeah people can victimize children and yes people do that all the time. Children are the most helpless, they really have no ability to defend themselves physically or emotionally from abuses.
Why you think there are so many messesd up grown-up around?
Thanks Rabbi🙏
I love this Rabbi
God gives the Jews the wisdom of Solomon blessed bed the God of Jacob
Solomon's wisdom didn't help him one bit in the end.
TruthSurge's Mommy the Jews are still here with their wisdom. All other kingdoms and beliefs have come and gone
As usual very informative!
You are so smart.
When you encounter a jealous person remember there unstable and neededy. Just stay away from them and let them go. This is forgiveness let the force of GD. Universe change them. But staying around negative energy will just drain you. And cause considerable pain and suffering for there victims.
I really needed this. Thank you.
❤ Thank you
Rabbi Friedman your saying if I hurt someone just the fact that they are hurt isn't my doing?? People don't have that ability/choice to choose the outcome. Its sounds like are free choice ends up being overturned by God, which means that are free choice ceases to have power unless god allows it to. Example: If I know that a person will be hurt by something i can choose to say to him, him being hurt is gods decision?! Please answer, I need some clarity @Rabbi Friedman.
