What do you think?
The men who wrote the Torah story seem to have it out for the woman Cain and Abels twin sisters are never mentioned in the Torah story. That's why it is best to go back and read the tablets that came before the Torah story to get a better Overstanding of the Adamite experiment.
Learning alot Rabbi and first time in judism for me
I'm Sufi this was deep subject matter in layman terms. Superb
It Answers:Who What Where When How. And now we know Why. Thank you ☺️
Very concise and easy to understand, thanks for the video.
I wish I had run into this years back
Excellent
I'm a Christian and I enjoy hearing you,Rabbi, so much. There's so much to learn and pray about. Shalom ,and GOD bless you.
What is a Christian?

I'm Muslim, but this Rabbi is a man of the Lord no doubt. His explanations of the Torah, are of great importance and that study of Scripture is very important. We must be careful how we read God's word.

As a Christian, you have answered SO many questions I have! I believe that we need to understand Judaism to understand Christianity! Thank you!!
Once you understand Judaism you won’t even want to be Christian.
not necessarily
The first Catholic not Roman Catholic but the first Catholic was a Jewish Rabbi. The first Buddhist was a Hindu priest. Funny how religion really evolved and created so much judgment.
No you don't.

When I smell the beautiful lilacs waving in the breezes on this lovely day, I feel like I am sharing that very physical pleasure with God, acting as a channel for Him to also enjoy His creations in a down-low, down-to-earth way different than on an energy/spiritual level. I feel like this is part of why I was created by Him: to be His hands for doing good for others, to be His ears to lend a listening presence when someone needs it, to be His mouth to share the truth, to be His five senses to enjoy this beautiful Earth, sky, stars. (I'm Catholic and I know we are all here to serve the one true God, and I'm grateful for all the wisdom that you share on this channel, Rabbi.)
Im a Buddhist and we have a slightly different take on these kind of teachings. I would love to have a long discussion, not a debate, but a discussion with this man. The difference being that unlike a debate, a discussion needs no winners.
True but my question is if two different beliefs could be absolutely true when they teach different stuff and is there a way they(beliefs) could agree ?
@@justinamusyoka4986 There was a saying that all paths lead to Rome. I truly feel that there are many paths that lead to God's truth.
Saying that there is only one path, or interoperation, strikes me as saying that God has a favourite flower, or colour. Ultimately, yes, as long as one does not fall into the ego, dogma trap I believe there can be agreement.
In Buddhism it is said that the true truth can be realized but cannot be expressed in words. It is said that teachings are like arrows pointing at the truth. However they are not the truth. They only hint at it.
I have studies many religions over a period of 40 years Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, Hindusim etc. However the best explanation I got regarding why are there different religions when there is one Almighty Supreem Being whom we call God or by other names. I got the best answer to this question in the opening lines of a book I was reading about Reiki ( the Japanese art or way of Divine healing by hands using mystical signs something like the 72 Hebrew three alphabet Names of God ) this book stated that the Almighty is one however to menifest Himself in different times, ages and locations of this world He used different forms and appearances which the people of that time and location of the world could easily accept and identify themselves with. 🙏

I love learning from a wise man that has a bandsaw in the background.
bandsaw is to reinforce one's learning
The heavens were the stars that moved around we now know are planets. So the heavens and earth created would be this solar system as a literal translation.
The moon wasn't here and formed out of stuff from the earth thown up there. It is not a planet but they didn't know that then. The Gods went from being the actual planets to just living on them.
The Jews Planet was Jupiter but the Greeks may have just given it to them as a present for their God to be from. Can't really say no to upper management.

I love this man. So down to earth and real.

I love how people don't speak Hebrew and only read heavily edited Bibles that were translated from three different languages and then want to tell the Rabbis what it means.
2 Timothy 4:3
For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
Centuries of priests did just that when they edited the Bible.

There is no beginning or end to God or His Majesty. He is. We are “mortal / temporary. This is how we are created. Understanding infinity is above our comprehension if unless the Holy Spirit helps. We and everything around us have Birth/Death date. We are limited beings. Limited in the frequency of our 5 senses. So, we cannot diagnose/ figure out the “Eternal God.” But, “Faith, Love ” fills this Vacum of the “Unknown.” But, if/ when we ask, according to our craving, need, hunger and thirst, we are gifted Revelations. He is faithful to supply and supply in abundance. Guaranteed and is Free!!

Blood sacrifices do nothing to absolve sins. Repentance is the only way to be forgiven.
life is not about repentance.. that's the Christian shame style of religious rhetoric. nope... if YOU want forgiveness seek repentance by those you have wronged. seek to repair the damage you have done and pay x7 over for the inconvenience and set your conscience free. God will not look at you if you wrong someone else and seek repentance by Him... this idea is completely irrational. if you would argue that God is everything and if I slap a person I'm slapping god... no no no... test your idea... go slap someone randomly... walk away, pray sincerely and come back to that person in the same day and see if God forgave you.. blood sacrifices are symbolic and if you don't understand what's going on you will judge instead of learn. In this case, it's obvious to see what you are.
@Psalm 27 well, in that case, holy psalm... (lol) who are you supplying with your contempt? hahaha savage.

Isaiah 53
1 Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? 2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. 3 He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem. 4 Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. 5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. 6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7 He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth. 8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away. Yet who of his generation protested? For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was punished. 9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth. 10 Yet it was the LORD’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the LORD makes his life an offering for sin, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand. 11 After he has suffered, he will see the light of life and be satisfied; by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities. 12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide the spoils with the strong, because he poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors. For he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
Perfect 👌🏽🤝🏼🙏🏽

There's a reason Rabbi Friedman says on most videos at the end to have a laid back no uncensored conversation. I mean only a very wise person even though he knows really a lot I mean a lot , I don't say it lightly . It demonstrates that no matter how much we know , there is a sense of like is just not enough I need to know more from whatever source is coming from . I feel I understand why he says that because that's just exactly me I study and study every idea every thought that comes to my mind or see things I want to learn it . Because God is present in all His creation ,therefore creation itself is the physical expression or result of God's consciousness or manifestation . Let me give you an example an engineer , how can you know what an engineer is if he doesn't produce anything . What makes him an engineer what he knows and with his knowledge what he creates . Let's say a mechanical engineer design and builds a car now after the car is built every detail every form and shape of the car and parts is an expression a physical one of the Creator so by studying the car itself you get to know how the creators mind work, So studying your own environment and yourself only leads you to come closer to God that includes listening to others even though sometimes it feels what they say you know it and overall your knowledge is so vast sometimes they hold secrets in between their ignorance that reveals more and more of God's creation and God's mind and spirit. That's why only a wise man listens . We just need to know more. Is an addiction really people that wants to know God is just an endless ,starving ,hungering , desperate insatiable, incurable, insanity as well quest and search for our Creator we might at times sound ridiculous. But me personally I feel no shame at all. That's just my life mission I see no point living in this world or existing if I don't find God honestly for what ? So we just end up existing like random nonsense, useless existence, waste of time really I just don't want to end up like an animal live eat reproduce and die . With no mind no soul no questioning of one self existence of a Creator at least . What a sad depressing way of life just born then die. Having so much intellect ,intelligence, understanding and mastery of the physical world . And not knowing who all these. It is as if your whole existence is a scam a purposeless one . That's just sad man. I would never want to stoop down to that level like an animal . Is just plainly embarrassing to degrade ourselves on this manner when we know we are far superior than all the animals of the world .our logic tells me there is more to it than just what it seems from hindsight . So listen to people no matter how ridiculous it sounds you will always learn something and will take you closer to God .

The New Testament reveals the meaning of the Old Testament. Modern Judaism interprets the Old Testament through Kabbalah, which is a Gnostic religion!
As a Christian I really enjoyed this synopsis and found myself saying “amen” often.
May the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob protect the Jewish people and all who call themselves Christian support the same and freedom of speech and conscience for all. Shalom.

As it has been written..." Seek first the kingdom of God" ...religion only separates us by how each view a turn of events..it's time to stop squabbling about who is right and embrace each other and become one as God intended
Man such a simple but interesting approach. Instead of getting lost in the details and interpretations, lets take a birds-eye view. That's wisdom,
Beware of false teachers
It's hard to take a bird's eye view when you are at the bottom and in the middle of the view at the same time...
The only other speaker who clarifies all of this is an ostracized 'Christian' teacher called Rob Bell, who did a video teaching talk on this very same plan, and focused too on the Covenant, and how the history of humanity has been an expression of the Great Plan beging carried out and almost ''programmed'' into us all as it works out in time and space. Rob is about the only other person who seems to grasp this as well as Rabbi Mani that I know of.
I've been trying to find this video again, but it doesn;t appear to be online anywhere any more, nor on here. A shame, as What Rabbi Mani says, and what Rob helps and supports in saying too, are invaluable for everyone.
It all used to be an inner wrestling match for myself being born to a catholic mother, Jewish father, but adopted into a right wing protestant family. And only now am I beginning to peer through the mire of all of this thanks to Rabbi Mani.
Wise men (really) don't all think alike. Too many wise men in most rooms. Not one agreement among them. But here's a man who many people can see as knowing what he's talking about, he's based. I found a few "great old men" like him, and many trip into their areas of low knowledge or emotions. It's interesting how many older men are more "old and accumulated" than wise, many are still too young in mind. I don't want to over compliment him but yeeesh, this kind of person is Rare. He's enlightening.
You spoke of wisdom he's not Solomon
This man has the perfect voice and speech patterns to be a Rabbi. He should be in the movies :).

Step into the true humility. Humbleness of mind.
The lower mind always questions because it cannot answer any question. The mind we seem to have was never meant to think alone.
You are funny
sooo.. we're to never question anything? and just accept everything? that sounds like the teaching of someone who has a deceptive practise if you ask me... it sounds like you're telling me if i think about anything that challenges the status quo, i'm out of line, and not showing humility.. but should you be trying to pull the wool over my eyes, and i not question it, is this still a matter of humility? you cant just assert that a person that questions is of a lower mind, and lacks humility... a curious mind questions.. doubt is important to our survival.. because people have the ability to lie.. which the bible even tells you, do not be deceived.. how am i to be a humble man, that never questions, and not be deceived at the same time? if i never question anything, then i'm never assuming doubt, and if i never assume doubt, then i'm quite vulnerable to deception.. for me, a humble mind knows when to stop asking questions, and admit fault.. and that could be what you meant.. but it wasn't worded that way, hence the confusion and my reply... personally, i think it's important to question everything.. to think we are certain of anything, is to prove how little we really do know.. which for me means, questioning is important, for us to learn truly... we must be humble and accept the knowledge and wisdom bestowed to us.. but why then is not humble to still have questions? if anything, the fact that you ask a question at all to me, shows humility to some extent, it is the admittance that you dont know it all, and are in fact ready to be a good student and absorb all the knowledge you can
@LazicStefan yeah.. i think they thought they were laying down some 'supreme wisdom,' learning us un-humble hethans, who dare to question lmao
@@UncleShamus no you're completely off base and you don't question anything you're supposed to investigate everything and you can't do that by judging against it and I am one of the only humans who can tell who's using lower mind because I am one of the few humans who found the secrets in the Bible that led to me being taken into the heavens I was changed by an Angel which activated all seven of my major centers beginning with the crown chakra and then taking into the heavens where God changed me and took me into his own being so I experienced what it's like to be made one with God I know far more than you'll ever dream of and the Bible tells you to be not to be deceived?

Our physical staff should be filled of our Godliness, then we fulfill the purpose of creation.
Sorry, a planet where beings have to EAT one another to survive is not "Godly" at all. A planet where the fly lies eggs in a carcass to become larvae is not "Godly" at all. Defecating and urinating is not "Godly" at all. Shall I go on? There is NO evidence of a "God" being active on this planet or having created anything. What we do see, are so called "Gods" that used technology to impress, enslave and rule. Now money rules precisely because of the power given to it through our needs.
A "Godly" creation would not resemble this planet that I can assure you. Ask yourself would you create such a violent needy place where suffering is the ultimate result? Not to mention DEATH, On the contrary, all scientific evidence points to freedom of nature, evolving with it's own forces of spurt. Religion was created by man to control people and it became a manifestation of untruths and opinions NOT supported by evidence. Old writings are not evidence, especially since we can not cross examine any of the writers.
So...we have to use our smarts, as we are no longer a primitive planet not knowing. Technology teaches us that more is to be discovered in it's regard. We also need to explore our own minds and what it may be able to do. Perhaps technology is married to our minds and the two together could reach spiritual achievements of great power one day. In fact I believe it to be inevitable.

Not saying you’re wrong but the English translation is horrible when it comes to getting revelation. Etymology and linguistics is key to understanding the Bible or the Torah. A lot of stuff we think is truth from just reading it in English can be tricky. Especially in the Old Testament. You have to dig deep into Hebrew and Aramaic translations.
@@unbiascowboy1537 especially the limited medieval English when the bible was first translated . just take the word Sheep, you do not know if it is plural or singular were as in any semitic language it has two or more different plurals .Another word, 'Friend' could be feminine or masculine, take the article 'THE' in any semitic language it has 14 moon articles and 14 sun article, depends on the first letter of the word. not to mention the construction of the sentences , and multiple adjectives plural and singular, broken plural , pair plural and simple plural etc etc etc. no wonder many different interpretations of the bible in the english speaking world.
You need to look at the proper of the etymology translations can be hmmm
8:26 you mentioned that angels have no names ... but how about the angel michael and gabriel ? why do they have names ?
Good question!
Are they not arch angles ?
because in the old testaments there is no name angels mention, the jews did not read or believe the new testaments,now if the jews truly return and ask forgiveness then the tribulation comes,God put mark on their foreheads 12000people in every tribe,caught up in heaven,then 1000 yrs of peace
He lied. YHWH of heavens army of Angels.
Let US go down and confuse their language lest...
YHWH spoke to Abraham and eat with him. While the others destroyed Sodom and gamorah
Saul/ Paul gave this secret away. He said the OT was the doctrine of Angels.
He was a Pharisee and a learned elder of Zion.
God himself can’t come here with out destroying this planet because of the sins in this world.the names of the angels aspects of the nature of God being sent here ,you look up the meanings of their names and it will tell you their duties that they are carrying out as in Michael, he is the angel of war . Uriel is the angel of healing.these are aspects of God to bring the kind of help need at the time. God bless the Rabbi.
Consciousness rules over everything. If you look around everything we know and see came from our mind and I feel that plays a huge part in the beginning of creation not sure how but it’s almost like consciousness itself created all of this without being in a physical form.
You got it.
Who and how did we get our coucunisses from that come from something or someone so where did we get It from other then God
You are so good. Thanks

The application of Kabbalah, a mystical Jewish tradition, to the history of America can be an intriguing exercise in exploring metaphors and symbolic interpretations. However, it's important to note that Kabbalah is primarily rooted in Jewish mysticism and focuses on Jewish teachings and traditions. The connection between Kabbalah and the history of America is not a direct or traditional one.
That being said, we can attempt to provide a broad, metaphorical interpretation of the history of America through a Kabbalistic lens, acknowledging that this is a creative exercise and not a definitive perspective:
Founding and Sephirot: Just as the Sephirot represent different aspects of the divine, the founding of America can be seen as an emanation of various principles and ideals. The pursuit of liberty (Gevurah), equality (Tiferet), and justice (Yesod) can be seen as foundational values that shaped the nation.
Spiritual Journey: Kabbalah emphasizes the spiritual journey of the individual. Similarly, the history of America can be viewed as a collective spiritual journey, with the nation evolving and progressing over time. This journey includes struggles, challenges, and transformative moments that have shaped the nation's identity and values.
Tikkun Olam: In Kabbalah, the concept of Tikkun Olam refers to the responsibility to repair and heal the world. This idea can be applied to America's historical narrative, as the nation has grappled with social injustices, seeking to address them and create a more equitable society. Movements for civil rights, women's rights, and other social justice causes can be seen as expressions of this principle.
Unity and Diversity: Kabbalah teaches that unity can be found within diversity, with each individual contributing to the greater whole. Similarly, America's history is shaped by its diverse population, where people from different backgrounds and cultures come together to form a unified nation, celebrating their unique contributions.
Transformation and Renewal: Kabbalah emphasizes the potential for personal and collective transformation. In the history of America, transformative moments such as the Civil War, the Civil Rights Movement, and other pivotal events can be seen as opportunities for renewal and growth, leading to the evolution of the nation.
It's important to remember that these interpretations are symbolic and metaphorical in nature, and they are not universally accepted within Kabbalistic traditions. They are offered as a creative exploration of connecting Kabbalistic concepts to the history of America. Individual interpretations may vary, and further exploration of Kabbalistic texts and guidance from scholars can provide a more comprehensive understanding of the tradition.
I'm not Jewish but you seem to have left our the part that God himself walked with Adam physycally before the fall
Jewish book doesn’t say walk. It says with as in around. look it up. In hebrew.

Rabbi even though I am a man who believes in nothing anymore since my Mom was taken from me three months ago I am no longer a man of any faith any longer ! But you are a the voice of truth !!!!
I am sorry your mom was taken from you. It's always a difficult experience and I'm sorry it happened to you. But I belive that God brought you to this moment so you could find your way to him again. Don't stay in the past alone, move on holding God's hand..he's got you...
Death is part of living...all of us is going to die...why blame God...nobody live forever...cant understand what you dont understand❤
It hurt when I lost my mom suddenly without warning also a year and half ago but I couldn't blame God what did he do he didn't cause the pain my heart felt it was because of God I was able to find some peace in knowing that all her pain and suffering from this world was no more and that God is always on control and will be take care of our loved one and I beloce one day we all will be together again I don't know what will happen when we pass ..and it is a little scary I have to have faith that it not bad

Space and *time* are parts of Creation, therefore, all of the discussion on what happened 'before' Creation is meaningless.
@Jimmy Vooys Mamory might be a pain.
What you have said around 5:20 about the construction of the Tabernacle actually reminds me of the Sulba Sutra which is a Hindu book about rituals and instructions on how to build a fire altar (which is also similar in that sacrifices are burned there). It’s interesting that two different ancient religions put a great emphasis on the specific construction of these. I wonder if there is a connection.,.
All religions are connected. They the overarching plans of control.
@@farshimelt you don’t need religion to have control. The perception of life requires constraints and controls
Till tower of Babel was built, we were all togather. When people were scattered it is obvious one group moved towards Asia. The Hindu religion has it's roots in the pagan religions of Middle East, especially Iraq.
@@judebernardb6766 And the Jewish religion has its roots in the pagan religions of the Middle East, especially Iraq.
@@ayurajanyamaka9255 Abram's family worshipped pagan idols. Their business was to make idols and sell them. They lived in Ur of present day Iraq. Then God called him and commanded him to leave his tribe and follow Him. So Judaism is not a pagan religion. God of the Israelites is the God who created everything that ever existed.
For my part, I began the journey to understand Hebrew, to avoid the mis translations and get closer to the truth conveyed in the original Hebrew language in which it was first written! This is not easy as over time every scroll deteriorates and it may be the case that newer copies have been transcribed into a newer version of Hebrew and remove the original! Nevertheless, English is a far newer language and proves to be unreliable for the purpose of understanding! Thank you for your insight and calm and easy means of explanation of your viewpoint and perspective!
Since my spiritual awaking in 2018 iv also have a feeling inside me that's wanting to learn Hebrew do you have a recommendation were to start or what app to use that teaches Hebrew .
We have the original hebrew for you unchanged. Keep learning
I agree with you 1000% it seems that the text have been altered and changed to much from its original version. the bible states that none of the text in the bible can be altered in any way and yet it's been changed several times such as the king James version they changed the text by making it easier for people to understand that alone should not have been done. I am Christian but I find myself listening to the Jewish books because it has not altered like the bible. I am now so confused that I am concerned about what I have learned.
@@Ben-rj7xs I am on this journey too and while I am not a Christian, I am an observer of most logical processes that deny most narratives given by men! If I can suggest any one thing, it would be to question everything! For example, what language did God (His name is Yah) speak to Adam, to Noah, To Moshe and to David (Dowd/Dahuwd)? Was it English? The English we now speak did not exist at the turn of AD/CE! Therefore English is not what Yah spoke to any of His people, it was a semitic language of the area, now called Hebrew! Hebrew begins with Eber and all his descendants, buit the language was not called Hebrew until after that time, Aram was speaking in the very same language and they all came from Shem, so they spoke Shemitic, now called Semitic! Therefore to find the truth of all things, search the earliest texts you can find today! Many may have changed over re writing into a more modern Semitic/Hebrew version! I deduce that Yah was speaking with Adam in this original language which has changed in form over time, as all languages do! I encourage you to not give up, but research as I do with truth being the goal, a very rare commodity and frowned upon by all who like to religiously control the narrative for the purpose of mind control! Beware of ravening wolves in sheeps clothing, even pastors, priests and pope's in wolves clothing hiding amongst the sheep! There is way too much jiggery Popery!
@@marciphillips8682 Sorry to be so late in my reply, messages seem to be hidden! For my part, I use Bible Hub as part of my research, though it is the more modern Hebrew, Brown Driver Briggs and Strongs dictionaries can be useful, but not 100% correct, Logos if you can afford it would be a great help, I don't have it, but friends of mine do and we can ask of each other for help in the group meeting we have each week where we read Torah portions! Nothing is 100% accurate and you just need to dig deep, but fortunately for me, I have a Hebrew friend not far from where I live!
This reminds me of how we are not to add or take away from scripture. How arrogant and prideful that any man can think he knows the mind of the Most High. This is how the very people called to carry HIS law, crucified him in the flesh because of pride and arrogance. What was meant for evil, HE used for good. All glory, honor and praise to the Most High!! Shalom
God is going to punish those who miss treat God‘s chosen people are your day is almost here.
I think there's one error I heard. When you said the entire point of getting out of Egypt or the exodus was to get to mount Sinai. No where does God promise that the goal was mount Sinai. The goal and the promise was the promised land. Mount Sinai was a pit stop because Israel would not internalize the torah like their forefathers.
I'd also disagree with the entire concept of souls coming down to bodies from heaven. That's a Greek concept developed during the 2nd temple period.
Hi David,
I don't understand your first question at all, as the source in the Torah says exactly what the Rabbi said. See, in the following verse: In Shemos chap. 3: 12: "When you take the people out of Egypt, you will worship G-D on this mountain." Also, the idea of the souls coming from Heaven doesn't mean the physical heaven rather from the heavenly world of Atzilus and goes through a lot of contractions before it reaches this mundane world.
@@zalmanszmerling5601 1. The promise given to avraham wasn't for the law given at Sinai, but rather for the promised land. Just to be clear, I am in no way dismissing the value of the torah (in this situation I'm using the word Torah to refer to the law given at Sinai). The written Torah is perfect. The problem lies not in the Torah, but how to get people to follow it and it's true meanings. Not everyone understands the meanings of certain instructions. Neither I nor rabbis over the millenia can truly understand some of the statements, because those that were given the oracles didn't pass down the knowledge from generation to generations or themselves, didn't understand the instructions. The Tanakh illustrates this problem.
The promise of the renewed covenant was all about helping people live by torah. Not a removal of the torah, but aid to help people live by it. You'll also see the prophets prophesying about the same world to come.
One has to ask why avraham and Yissac's relationship with Hashem appears much different then Israel's. I believe it's because psychologically, avraham and Yissac were much more aligned to hashem's heart then Israel was. Israel were heathens in every sense of the word. The Tanakh continues to show us that from Yacov onwards it was a struggle to get them out of the ungodly world so to speak. Hence why they needed endless instructions while avraham and yissac did not. The same logic applies to Noah. Noah was the only righteous man found in a world that had become fully corrupt, yet no written torah found. How was Noah righteous and others were not?
As for the souls descending from heaven. That entire concept is a 2nd temple product. It was never the original belief of the hebrew people in the Tanakh. It stems from Plato and others.
Personally, I tend to be skeptical about ideas that were developed in confusion. When I say confusion I refer to Babylon which means land of confusion. ISRAEL went into CONFUSION when they were exiled into Babylon.
Thank you Rabbi Friedman for that simple, clear explanation. For the very first time i understand the meaning and significance of these books of the bible and their correlation to the Torah. ♡
A simple, yet false interpretation and not Holy Spirit inspired.
He’s attempting to harmonize chapter 1 with chapter 2… he didn’t do a real good job in my book but made some interesting simple points.
Hello, I have a question regarding the fight of Jacob and the angel: the angel said he have no name but isn't it said in another part of the book than he's Gabriel, the angel of God?
Thank you so much for the answer,
Gabrielle
Because of this: Revelation 11:18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
I find a few disputes with this, including names. So multiple angels are named, it’s literally in the book, so heaven/soul/spirits have names (we loose our names once we leave the body? Doesn’t add up). Along with a few other things.
Gentiles explaining book tht wasnt made for them,cant make this up,still adding and taking to his word,mocking the creator. Imposters who stole our name and culture,woe to all of them.

Dear Rabbi Manis Friedman, You are right! For anyone to build or make something one must have a plan first. Otherwise how do you know how to do it without error. When I was in school and I had a test I had to think before I could answer and review if my answer was correct. In this way I passed first grade to 12th grade. This was from 1961 to 1974. Long before I came across your videoing this year of 2021. Congratulations for your analysis even though I am not a religious leader. But I do believe in a all powerful God whose Hebrew name is Yahweh which means I am which the Divine God told Abraham in the desert. The full name is Yahweh Elohim which is I am God of all.
Yahweh is a trickster diety with wings that blows fire from his mouth and eats sacrifices including many living virgins...dont be fooled
Extremely well thought out, the only flaw is assuming that God had human desire and reason.
Humans are created in the image of God by God, not the other way around. Therefore they have (godly) desire and (godly) reason...

@@michaelspena6519 your flesh and all you own turn to dust upon death and being discarded. Your car, your house, your computer, your phone , your water bed etc are all from the ground. Unless burnt or cremated, you turn to dust soon or later. Ash is dust too! The only thing that will not turn to dust is your soul. So where does it go? Everyone has one. Just as the ground takes back what originally came from it, so the soul returns to it’s original Source for processing. Nothing was created by mistake. There is always an intelligence behind every intelligible creation.
God is greater than love. Love isn't even the greatest of human aspirations, it's sometimes a beneficial idea - but love can be corrupt quite easily - one thing greater than love is companionship because this includes love of another and is selfless - not self denial, but true selflessness.
@tommy misenhimer lucifer and shaitan aren't even the same being. Your sentiment is more inline with some Christian anti-semitic beliefs. Wrong in more than one way.

Check out Jews for Judaism, I can't think of the rabbis name, but, except he's competing with opposition, he dies real good on doctrine.
Read your Bible; thats their whole story; to deny this very situation where anybody of our generation can come through and inject even interject their own viewpoints and or feeble understanding of things way too superior intellectually for such a one and think they alone have the ear of God himself; or even surpass Gods own witness of himself in scripture!
