What do you think?
Everything has always existed forever. There was a whole lot of raw materials to work with. Lots of dust particle and gas bubble. Imagine everything on earth can be pulverized into a fine dust, yes ever granite and marble.
Your teaching on existence vs living is what got me to become a regular listener of yours. I am a Guatemalan Christian and have no Jewish ancestry that I am aware of and yet I listen to your podcast regularly. Thank you Rabbi for publishing your work freely and allowing others outside your community to listen to.
You are greatest person in my Life ❤️💕 you have changed my life for good, May The Lord God of Heaven and Earth the Bless you and your family, I speak from deep from self🌹💋💯🌠
You are good to to us all ❤️
Walaikummussalam
The honour is mine !!!
THANK YOU RABBI FRIEDMAN,MANY NON JEWS ARE WATCHING YOU BECAUSE YOU OPEN THEIR MINDS❤❤❤
Wow I'm African and Christian 29years old I have never heard something like this before. My mind is blown. I wish someone told me this. This message is so simple yet so relevant 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
I'm 63 years old. Catholic since born. I never felt comfortable with Catholicism something felt wrong. My family thought they were doing right. My mother was a excellent lady and mother. I'm glad God presented Judaism to me.
❤
You have listened to the wrong Catholic priests for sure!!!
100%
I am an orthodox christian, but your speech has given me a new perspective. You have expanded my thinking in many ways... You have reached my soul and spirit. God bless you. You will now be in my prayers. Take care of yourself you are much needed!
You took the words rite out of my mouth. Thank you
Thankyou RABBI FRIDMAN GOD bless you ❤
This is so insanely deep. I just wish everyone, including my own kids, understood the message.
Rabbi! I thank Adonai for your existence! Toda ✨🙌✨
I am sorry, let’s thank Hashem for the Rabbi’s LIFE! 😉
I'm listening as I'm emerging from a bout of depression. You are so right about depression - I think it's rather inward-looking - selfish. When I force myself to look outward, to see others' needs and work to meet them, I know I'm on the mend.
I am happy!I am grateful for every beautiful blessed day!Only missing companionship,but am confident that will come in time.😊
Hi Kathleen 🌹, good morning and also how are you doing ?
I am now listening for the fourth time within 12 hours, and am still digesting everything. This is so good!!!
I enjoyed this talk very much! I find that when I "choose life" GOD presents with things to do. I love how the commandment is simple.... two words... choose life. I love how you explain choose life means.... in a sense "get busy!" Thank you for this talk!
Shalom
Thanks Rabbi
You are stunning in your sincerity, much appreciation
God bless you rabbi Friedman
Brilliant dont drink when youre unhappy about life
Baruch Hashem, again this video arrived on a perfect day for my Life. As I have chosen to live and my family constantly question how i will exist and why i am not content with my existence. Now I can tell them that I am choosing Life.
Magnificent. I will take this with me today and live my life.
Wow! Depression= your existence has become too heavy, too hard to carry
Meet someone you love ..it gonna b fine
Fantastic! Now I know why I’m happier than I used to be. I stopped fighting for my existence.
As I understood seeing myself submerged in a heavy existence that literally makes me drag my feet every day to my work site and questioning me do I have a life? I made for real my dream by getting a job in a government office because of my career. I am an immigrant here. Didn’t make a life just then I was justifying my existence and discovering slowly that I can’t stay more longer in this environment. And yes, there’s a lot of selfish moments but at the same time being selfless in this same environment can’t be disclosed openly because people take it from you. I give thanks to God because he guided me to find your chat. I much appreciate your time. May God bless you. I feel deeply hurt.
What a beautiful message. So eye-opening to what many of us have been missing. I thank you for this and will share it with everyone I can reach. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you! I appreciate all your talks with us! I am so glad I found you! I send many blessings to you and your family!
Confusion, not knowing where you stand. Is the plague for most folks out there nowadays
There is a deeper level to your messages than what we hear at first and after a couple years of listening to you I'm just starting to really hear them. Thank you Rabbi
That's Kabbalah in a nutshell. Take care.
The truth if you ask me I am so happy and contented Life the most important to me is humanity it is my desire to give food to all people it is my dream
💕💕Choose Life 💕💕
Obviously Im not Jewish, but your teachings are precious. Thank you! (for existing :) )
Desr Vladimir.
The rabbi is truly alive.
When a person is alive, he abvusly exists.
Life is happiness, love, gratefullness.
When you are alive you are full of life
When a person exists only, as in depression, ( depresed = in a deep-rest) breathing becouse he is not dead, he realy stops to exist. becouse he exited life.
Therefore when a person exists, he might not be alive, but when he is alive he abvusly exists.
Thank you
thank you
Thank you very much 🙏
Thank God for my life ♥️
So true
Oh, this is awesome 😇🙏💕, I love the humor/comedy 😆🙏in your lectures👏. We definitely could use some in our lives:).
Thank you!
I bless the house of Jacob with my existence. Amen
Thank you.
My daughter has anxiety. She refuses to share whether its situational or un related to any one thing (clinical).
We have referred her to a doctor, has had medication prescribed but doesn't like the side effects of them. We always encourage her to walk with the family (which we do alot of) she sometimes does but complains about the journey. We always invite her with family activities, outings etc. encourage her to ventilate her thoughts and feelings but declines
Expose her to different situations n check where here anxiety lies then work on it by making her know it no a big deal or a new thing neither a death sentence..
Keep Rv Friedman’s shiurs on all day { from morning to & maybe through the night } while you clean & organize etc . Keep upbeat jazz music 🎵 playing in the bathrooms { buy 💿 players } . Recommended jazz 💿s & for outside outlets - upbeat Jewish music 🎼 🎵 . Art supplies * family paints picture together * do & hang family 👣 & 🖐 🎨ings * try family singing hr { copy the words to the songs & all family gets a copy & you sing together } * next day - dancing 💃 hr ; blast the upbeat Jewish music 🎶 🎵 in the Living Rm & dance 🕺!! * eat dinner together & everyone wash their own plates & also something used to prepare the dinner * each write in their notebook 📒 at the table their schedule for the next day { keep notebooks 📓 in a box under the table } . Then everyone share their schedule & see how you can accommodate each other . Read the Jewish news and announce the charities that you are going to give to & everyone at table reads a Tehillim { each one reads one out loud & the others - quietly & say Amen to Tehillim & * AmenVAmen Selah to personal prayers { everyone take a turn } . May things turn for the best in sweet memories for all forevermore. AmenVAmen Selah !! 🤦🤦🏻♀️< & Shemah together !! Oh ..& wash NV in the a.m.👼
Thank you! Amazing wisdom. Shalom!
This is the best video I have ever seen in and outside the internet
Love uses your heart
Hate is only using your brain
Selfish is in your head
Helping others coming from your heart
Dear rabbi Friedman.
I am listning.
Chills are going up and down my body, and now I cry.
I cry, but my tears are not tears of sadness. They are tears of happiness.
Thank you god for illuminating your light to shine this horrible darkness.
Dear rabbi.
You are a chosen man.
As I am listning, a thought came to my mind.
The word Existing in hebrew is
מתקיים = מת קיים.
The word 'חייך' = 'your life', is spelled as the word 'smile' = 'חייך'.
When a person smiles he doesn't see his own face, the person he smiles to, does. But, a stream of l i f e flows from his brain into his boady. A flow of cell rejuvenating hormons.
This is the secret of giving.
My existence might not gain from giving, my life does.
Thank you again. May god bless you and yours.
i think u r spot on with the hebrew words , hope rabbi see your coment and use it
Good teaching! I will be thinking about what you said and how I can apply it to my LIFE!
@Cynthia Farley: "How I Can Apply It to My LIFE ? " Answer: Verry Simple...Just Like the Rabbi Explained. Try "Living". Helping other who needs YOU. That's L'Chaim
You don't 'apply it to your life'. You do it. You live when you do. For others. Not for yourself. Thinking of them. Not you. There are endless opportunities daily to get of service. Small things. Smiling. (You don't know whose day you'll improve.). Lending a hand to a friend, a neighbor, a stranger. The opportunities are there of you're open to them. Be open to them.
You only start to have a life when you do for others. Before that you're existing.
Hi Cynthia 🌹, good morning and also how are you doing today ?
Your own heart knows its unhappiness. I love this rabbi and he has so much wisdom. But in reality we dont need others telling us why we arent happy because deep down you already know what causes you to be unhappy.
Some people have trouble finding things that are deep down
Excelente mensaje gracias por compartir
Thank you very much for explaining the life, the purpose. Hoping to use this understanding to help someone who is going through the existential crisis.
Thank you. Good teaching.
Thank you 🙏🏻 something to ponder .
Very nice guiding wisdom. Thanks & God bless.
I stumbled into ur teaching and I am really getting enlightened......but I am still sad I can't find my direction in life even though I feel the passion to do something 😔😔😔
Don't lose hope. Keep putting out that positive energy and the right path will come eventually! The patience you learn along the way will stand you in good stead when you are as busy as you want to be GD willing:)
No reason to be 'sad'. You're looking too hard. Look around to see who needs you. Once you find the mm you'll be in the 'right direction'. Sounds like you might still be focusing on you, which most of us do until we figure out that's not the answer.
A great talk with many levels of deepening understanding. One of my favorite chapters of the bible is Duteronomy ch. 30. I've pondered that for some time and after listening to you Rabbi Manis- you sure made it clear for me. Thank you so much.
Remarkable
Very grateful for your sharing. It's a beautiful way of opening up the scared soles that have gone dark through the pain of the world. Allot of people need to learn about life. Learn about the values that make life work for them.. it's about the quality of consciousness we develop! Education has no context without experience, this is why schools are a hiddious idea.. because "copy and past" learning is like giving people fake lives to live. Knowledge dose not exist in a classroom. It exists only in a willingness to learn.. I live in Africa. I speak with some experience. So finding knowledge of this quality is a true blessing only to those willing to learn.. thank you for your time and your sharing. You have a way with humour that makes your points clear.
You sound like you're on the road to understanding though you're still dragging old thoughts with you and trying to make it cohesive together. Won't happen.
Life doesn't 'work for people'. Life is giving. Not receiving. There aren't a set of 'values' to learn. It's a simple concept. Stop thinking about you. Be needed not needy. Done. Go and help. Serve don't be served.
Thank you for this wonderful blessing i enjoyed it and passed it to others
Wonderful!!!
Beautiful wisdom!
the wisdom!
Thank you rabbi 🍻
Beautiful
I love your thought process very well said
❤
Very nice.
I have always asked myself why do I exist and why God has created me.
Bc He loves you & specifically made you special.
@@jules9628 He couldn't love me before He created me. So, why would God create me if He didn't love me in the first place? I ask this because no father loves his child before he creates a child. The father doesn't even know if the child is going to be a boy or girl, so how he can love the child before the child is created. My question is why God wanted to create specifically me? Why God is not satisfied with His other children that He created, so He had to create me also? Was I created by accident, by luck or it was planned by God?
@@1SuperMind I dont agree with that. I believe the Word. God isnt and doesnt think like a human-And the Bible says from King David that he knew us before we were even in the womb! He created and formed us-if not then how would He only know you After you were born? God doesnt just love us-He IS Love, says the Word. The very embodiment! Anyway im sorry you believe He doesnt know every single cell, created your personal DNA Structure, of your body, even the numbers of hair on your head-which He says He does. Hope you reconsider the belief you hold and see the beautiful truth that belief you hold. You most certainly are loved.
@@jules9628 What the Bible says, if God knew us before we were even in the womb, where were we existing at that time? How can God know us unless we exist? Are the creation and existence different things? Please clarify, because I got more doubts. Thanks.
Bcz you are needed in this life pls do something for someone.. Find out who..
A thought doesn't take up space as it is no different than a computer running a program.
The fact that our awareness can be distracted by a thought doesn't mean the thought has space only that the computer which is our brain is working.
Emotions do not take up space as they are feelings one has. Feelings have no space, Feelings can't go on a diet or starve.
You don't know much about computers, do you...? 😊
Am I right if I say God gives us life (right to exist) to demonstrate His existence .Now, should it mean my living is ruining/spoiling His ? OR. it is elevating His ?.
An interesting listing that provided me enlightenment. 🎉
You have two brains
Your head is one and the other is in your ❤️
Or you have two spirits:) one in your brain and one in your heart
Our thinking always thinks like a created thing. We ain’t the real creator indeed. Yes, we’re needed, God doesn’t need us. Though He has created us as His will or wish but He doesn’t have any need to us. We’re here to develop our souls ourselves by having His mercy and help to be a being as He wished or to be successful in our both lives. We have to obey His desires or Yes-No rules to show our gratitudes to Him. It’s our exam or evaluation process to show our faith and believe towards Him. We need to know how to live and to live a righteous life indeed. To live a life- food, clothing, shelter, knowledge, medicine... are needed, isn’t it? So, we’re needed, not He. We need Him all the time. Without having His helps, we can’t get anything. Because, He does only belong all the powers Himself. The perspectives of your speech is very nice and wise that we should serve the others and the world. Before our creation He was needed us, but after we’ve created, we’re always needed He/Him. Thanks. Have a good day! Take care.
Give everything to me and be happy not worry about the things that don't matter but focus on the things that will bring passion to the top of your day and joy will be seen
time is relative and so is space, not absolute, two tings can occupy the same space in different times, time being relative to observer, we can say objects are occupying the same space/time until an observer looks at it, its the present for us now, but is also the past or future happening now to different observers in space
🙏🙏💖💖💖💖
Your ontological analysis of the universe has profound effects throughout space.
Rabbi, I want to ask that is there a difference between life and soul ?
Love works you brain in your heart
Hate come from your head
Advise to @John Cole. Hate is an emotion, and comes right from your heart. Keep reading ... "The Good Book" ..."Tevje"...
You can say you take up time and with time you have space. You continue to live in time. The first thing God blessed was time. The seventh day.
Space and Time are interwoven, Albert-Einsten. Space and Time are One. And spans multiple dimensions.
That's why Angelic Beings can travel timeless. Daniel in the Tanach Aprove it. It is plausible to say : God blessed
the seventh day or God blessed the time-span on the seventh day. The Space-Time Continuum
To exist is to occupy yes. How does does the spirit of the Lord occupy us?
If you only use your head you say I am not possible or helping people is wrong
But love think of others and allow you to believe in me and to go to heaven
How do thoughts occupy space?
I love to listen to you but why are you putting so many ad's on one video?
You can skip all the ads by putting the red cursor to the very end, as if you finished the video, and then reload and that's how you avoid the ads in the first place
The rabbi doesn't put the ads on. YT does. The ads pay a little to the rabbi which is how he can afford to take the time to share his wisdom with us. YT gets the rest of the money for advertising. You complain to tv shows about their ads?
@@naamadina7655 sure, you want something for free. The rabbi gives his time to share wisdom and you give him? Nothing?
So where is that little space that you call a mind ?.That space that is so small.that it only has room for one thought or emotion at a time.?
Where do all the other things go when they are not in your mind?
and how do they get there? What force moves them there and what force brings them back when you require them?
A bigger question might be; where is this mans logic stored?.and who holds the key?
I'm not in New York City, that's why I am unhappy.
Happiness is NOT geologically specific
It is purely internal
Why do you want to be in a Big City at this time of the end? You should want to flee the Big Cities and move to the Countryside.
@@Jay-cc4et I saw the neighborhood's that were taken over, Trump got rich taking over a Jewish housing project and now it's a slum, it's not right, I witnessed the hatred, I was driven away and now it's impossible to be safe the world is over, that's why I am sick with greif.
Freewill I had to create choice and good and evil is the choice and all depends on that choice
Here's A Big Question.PLEASE NO BODY TAKE OFFENCE.
Do Jews have a more important existence than Christians?
ITS JUST A QUESTION THAT CAME INTO MY MIND.
What do people think?
I've replied to my own question through Guilt.
No one is more or less important than anyone else would be my Consciousness answer
My own Reply is simply NO.. Jews have a far greater ability to be self offacing.Far more honest with themselves in what their purpose is.
Christianity tends to feel its needed to guide others.

Healing? How to ask God for healing? ...I have watched many of your videos, and for years have made efforts to have health and peace with God! , I believe God is greater then science, but often feel as if God predestined people to suffer, why wouldn't God just not create them? In others words true suffering isn't athiesm, they can live a good life, not knowing God exists with the health to have a good life, and their last breath they can ask God to help, and God will love them, while others know God exists their whole life, suffer during their life, and know God can help and heal but chooses to ignore them, and they have the broken heart of knowing their whole life they suffer because it's the will of God? That's true suffering
I used to think the way you do. I changed my perspectives and my beliefs and resulted in my happiness and peace. Maybe change your thought process to be like the creator to understand on a deeper level?
I'm not happy because of the deception that happened in Dec. 1999 and the Devils never ending Omen game. The dark con of man and their desparation to save their selves and the evil they invent to do so. I don't even know why I owe? I know I blessed out of love and it wasn't women. I gave them life and they are forcing their hell on me. Anybody that bites the hand that feeds them isnt worth saving. Who wouldn't be mad?
the reason I'm not happy is this: "BULLY GOD" gave me nothing but burdens poverty traumas abuse bullying homeless intimidations threats pain all this so I'll be between the rock n the hard place suffer or beg the infinite bully- my abuser to "heal" me not that he ever gonna take responsibility for all the pain he keeps inflicting on me n look at his abusive nature n heal himself - the source of all the pain. Everyone needs to obey the dictator who forced me to exist
I'm sorry you're in pain. I pray things get better for you and your heart is healed. That you get the unconditional Love that God has towards us. I've experienced much of what you mentioned but I'm still standing, life is still possible. He got me thru all that.
So use the brain in your heart and use your brain only to say I am possible
Like i was thinking heaven (our existance) was before colonisation & all of hell came with them all CHRISTIANITY & COLONISATION & nursery rhyme's im glad you could joke & honest with what you said👍🏽Iv never been relgious or connected just curious but im likeing what im hearing follow the commandment's even if im seeing wrong gonna take a while wuth these ruff edge's Rabbi 😂
Everything has always existed forever. There was a whole lot of raw materials to work with. Lots of dust particle and gas bubble. Imagine everything on earth can be pulverized into a fine dust, yes ever granite and marble.
Actually God created space too. At the beginning there was no space either.
I ask the one lord the lord that has not been seen by prophet Moses when the has asked to see him the god of the earth and the skies and what is between them the creator of everything the owner of everything the merciful the most powerful the viewer of everything the knowledgeable of everything the arranger of everything the balancer of everything the one who see and hear everything the one who return everything the one who is entitled to be asked the designer of everything the sender of his messages through prophets to guide people to him I ask you Allah who has not been seen by humans I ask you to return the people who has been kicked out of their homes to return them back they are weak now but with you no body is weak the humans that are trying to keep their land the ones that can not protect themselves unless by you amen amen amen
Sending the latest spirit that I made the spirit of all humanity past present and future the spirit of emuna I've called it because I made it to fill the demand made by the bresluv community rabbi's
I have nothing to do in this world
I understand. Existence can suck sometimes. I'm so glad we have a wise Rabbi to help us understand life more.
Doing nothing is still an act of doing.
To literally do nothing is a paradox.
Yes you are right. Because we don't need anything but the Creator who decides to recreate you again and again every second, he needs you.
@@dinushblau4247 I mean honestly, what is more beautiful than this thought? It's like a passionate artist that refuses to stop creating until every detail just right. And once every detail is just right, they wonder, "How can I make this more perfect?"
Some may be wondering, how can something be "more perfect?" Well, to that I say, G-d can do literally anything, even things we consider logically impossible.
@@Constellation3232 exactly. So well you wrote it.
And if we don't know what else to make it perfect and he dose 😊 whom would you want to do it better than to him?! The one and only who knows it all.
Title preaches to Choir...yet things do change....
Blessings to you Rabbi. Your chats are very deep could watch you for hours BUT; WHY DO YOU PROFANE SUCH WONDERFUL MSGS WITH ALL THOSE MONEY MAKING ADVERTISING MESSAGES? HOW CAN WE GET THE FULL EFFECT OF THE MSG SOOOO MANY INTERRUPTIONS? WOULD YOU RECONSIDER MAKING LESS ADVERTISEMENT PROFIT AND GIVING US MORE OF GOD'S WORD?
That's actually not true, Rabbi - about the Romans. It does appear that italian DNA has carried forward Roman lineage.
I'm not happy cause god took my wife and I have never loved again in 20 years
That's a choice you made not to be happy. You're happy with your unhappiness or you would change your thinking. I hope that since you wrote this your existence has improved.
@@nomorecensoringme bit harsh but true.
Why do you assume I am unhappy?
So what are you saying exactly? If its not for you why did you listen?!
@@dinushblau4247 because i keep an open mind
@@dinushblau4247 i think i said exactly what i am saying
@J Fl true. It's not about me because I am not unhappy. But why assume his listeners are as well? Shouldn't they be the happiest people on earth considering they have such a learned rabbi to follow?
@@sirmatatyahu1261 did anyone ask you about your mind?! If you are happy thanks God for you. Keep on in your life.
Animals have consciousness. You are 100% wrong on that one.
The reason I'm not happy is that I didnt come here for fun.
chosen people ruin existence.. cough haha.. you dont know yet why you were chosen... but till then, you guys are a great comedy act.
