The story does make more sense now. Wonderful rabbi. Many thanks.
This gives a new meaning to “laugh for life”
Shalom Rabbi, I thank our Holy Creator because you're changing my life and you're helping people get closer to our Holy Father, like I said before you're like a father to me. I love you so much rabbi from the bottom of my heart, someday I want to be a man like you. I want to help the world. Please rabbi pray for me , my name is Edward Martinez Ben Adam. Blessings for you and your family Rabbi.
I don't carry a smidge as much authority as our good Rabbi here does. Regardless, I'll happily pray for you. The fact that you so earnestly and joyfully express your love, respect, and desire to be a good man is, in my opinion, proof that you're already making this world a better place. Keep fighting the good fight, never give up. B'shalom brother.
@@lizc6393 Thank you Liz, thank you very very much. Shalom ❤️
I just realized that rabbi Friedman is Benny Friedman’s father that’s awesome I can’t believe I i didn’t realize
Ha ha. Also avraham frieds brother!
@@weeklydaily4775 yah
He’s also Zalman Friedman’s father. Zalman may be a bigger deal than Benny and Avroham…
I’m so glad I found you. I love listening to you. Paige
1000th like !! 👍🏽 Jamaican seeking the Word… love hearing your insights Rabbi
I will declare the chok (decree): Hashem hath said unto me, Thou art Beni (My Son); HaYom (today) I have begotten thee.
Serve Hashem with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
This is beautiful. The gifts of God are without repentance. It’s still hurtful.
Thank you rabbi.
This is deep thank you Rabbi 🙏
This is sudden knowledge, I had no idea Sarah was in fact an angel. Such great wisdom.
Where did you find this information?
Some of what he says is written in Jewish literature
Where do we get all our information from? God.
@@GameDevAraz
Depends on what information.
@@MrAlmonimi Nope. All information is from God. It has to be. Duh.
@@GameDevAraz
You're right - but we do not have teachers? Guides, etc.?
How do you know everything you know?
From whom? God spoke to you?
Have you never read books?
Or did you learn everything only from God?
Thanks Rabbi.
Am inviting you to teach in our synagogue in Port Harcourt Rivers state Nigeria. I believe one day we may connect, you have much wisdom in the Torah. Shalom moreh
BH, thank you so much, Rabbi Friedman, for this inspiring lesson.
I especially liked the part of 'women are the heroes' because it gives me more information when I'm asked how I could be Orthodox when women are so 'oppressed' and treated like we're second class and that Judaism is patriarchal or Male-dominated 😲. I always laugh when I hear those comments 😂!
Kiss the Bar (Ben, Son, []), lest he be angry, and ye perish from the Derech, for his wrath can
flare up in a moment. Ashrei are all they that take refuge in him [].
I'm amazed learning so much from Rabbi Manis. Hope he is not devil in disguise. Wishing him a long live.
Stop assuming and stop accusing, That's what the devil does
I thought Sarah laughed because she didn’t believe having a child at her age was possible. Hence why prior, Hagar, her Egyptian maid, was given to Abraham to try and force the blessing on a son.
The consequences of which are still seen/felt today with the troubles in Israel.
Came to ask a similar question- I remember her comments (with the laughter) about her having a child at her age…
Genesis 18:12-14
I had the same thought . These verses clearly says, Sarah thought she was too old.
@@suchitracolonne1481 The Rabbi says why that isn't true. What? You think a woman of faith will laugh at the Father if she heard Elohim??? It was something to that extent. I tend to agree with the Rabbi.
@@suchitracolonne1481 Maybe in the KJV but in the Torah she laughed to herself after she is worn out she thought? This is why she made sure her son would live to an old age. This is why it happened when it did! That is the amazing part of the history! She would have never thought to make sure the blessing was so specific; therefore extending the covenant just as much as Avraham. She literally saved us through saving Isaac!
@@KingDavidTheOrderOfMelchizedek thanks for the explanation
I thought we were not suppose to see or hear god that we couldn’t handle his awesomeness
Loved it Rabbi Friedman makes a lot sense thank you and Shalom !
THANK YOU RABBI FRIEDMAN
Thank you Rabbi!!!
God is good!! Thank you for that revelation of the story of Abraham and Sarah.
Where is he getting this? My Bible says, "he called the place, the lord will provide."
thank you
Thank you Rabbi Friedman. Unfortunately I'm in another continent so can't attend your evenings.
Thank you.
Ahayah Ahdunaizedek Yahuuahshayahuuahlah Ben Yahuuah, "And so that what we have said is even more clear, If another priest like Melchizedek appears, one who has become a priest not on the basis of a regulation as to his ancestry but on the basis of the power of an indestructible life.
For he testified about him, Ahdunizedek, “You are The Priest for eternity in the image of Melchizedek.”
And it was not without an oath! Others became priests without any oath, Yet he became a priest with an oath when Yahuuah said to him: "Yahuuah has sworn and will not change Yahuuah's mind: 'You are a priest forever.'"
"For he testified about him, Ahdunizedek, “You are The Priest for eternity in the image of Melchizedek.”
B"H This is so amazing, so deep and inspiring. Thank you Rabbi for lighting the world with the Torah.!
Let us break their chains asunder, and cast away their fetters from us.
Thou shalt rule them with a shevet barzel; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
Thank you
Then shall He speak unto them in His wrath, and distress them in His hot displeasure.
A shining revelation to me!
The story will never make sense until you see the ram was the substitute for Isaac. 2000 years later, the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world was sacrificed on that same mountain as our substitute.
„Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my Lord being old also? And the Lord said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old? Is any thing too hard for the Lord? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.“
Genesis 18:11-15
QUESTION IN GREAT RESPECT!
Sarah was a prophet. Why was Hagar brought into the the picture.
The Bible says Sarah had Abraham
Send them away. Why the jealousy. Half brothers Ishmael,
Isaac. Very interesting.
Just don't UNDERSTAND?
Hagar is a picture of the bondage of the law.
Sarah understandably thought that God's promise of a son might be fulfilled through Hagar, seeing she herself was barren. She didn't understand that God would enable her to conceive miraculously at the age of 90 years old. The result was Ishmael, a product of the will of the flesh, and a child born into bondage as Hagar was Sarah's handmaid.
When Isaac is born several years later, Sarah sends Hagar and Ishmael away, saying, "this shall not be heir with my son (Isaac)". The son that would inherit the blessing would be Isaac - the son of promise who came by the will of God, and not Ishmael - the son of the bondwoman who came by the will of the flesh.
The lesson for us today is that our salvation is found in the Son of promise. It cannot be accomplished through our own efforts (the will of the flesh) or by trying to keep the law. It is the gift of God.
Sarah heard. A prophet hears from God.. We may not understand a) the logistics behind what we hear but we believe its of God.
According to what she heard about her so. Isaac not Ishmael she could tell Abraham to send Hagar and Her son away. God tells him to listen to her. He knew Sarah heard from Him.
Everything about her and Isaac's relationship was according to what she heard.

That is so interesting!

Τρεπωμαι για το λογαριασμό σας
So that’s why the word Brajah/Brajot (Blessings) could also means cursed, depending on the thoughts of the person’s perspective? Just asking
Have seichel now therefore, O ye Melachim; be warned, ye Shoftei Aretz.
It's true now days there are people saying about madness.. confusing people and started questioning and it become a stupid topic... And the person who confuse people become popular..
Evan Abraham laughed Gen 17:17 KJV Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is
an hundred years old? and shall
Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?
Can you explain about this dear sir
Just as how jews laughed when they heard about the virgin marry, even though they were told years before it would happen in every story of the bible. is anything impossible for God
In “every story of the Bible”? Please find “the virgin Mary” in the Bible story of Dinah and Shechem (Genesis 34) or in the Bible story of the daughters of Zelophechad (Numbers 27).
@@KateGladstone Genesis 3:15, Isaiah 7:14
@@janetmichael5611 christians edited the their version.
You cannot find it in hebrew. 🙃
@@finding_aether isaiah 7:14 ‘The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel’
Immanuel means "God with us" and Christ is God and was with us in the flesh.
@@EzioAuditoreDaFirenze99 there is no such verse in the hebrew version. Only in the christian version.
Wow! It seems like the scriptures in the Torah is different from our Old Testament. OMG which means we have been getting the wrong teachings for centuries.
No. They don't get it don't want to get it. Just want to continue ruling
if Sarah was his half sister, since it says in genesis 20 10-14 about her being from a different mother, then also Sarah would be the half-aunt of Ishmael. There are relationships here we don't notice...
❤
So the real question is!!! Why did the blessing not come face to face in the first place
It kinda makes sense when you juxtapose this with Sarah's inability to conceive, there was a story of untimely death or a curse which might have been following Sarah.
The Malchei Eretz rise up in rebellion, and the rulers take counsel together against Hashem and against His Moshiach, saying,
Rabbi plz explain the story of Balaam too... It's confusing... Plz plz plz
metaphors to power the Kabbalah....
by thought 💭
I find this disturbing. My daughter of blessed memory was 4 when Hashem took her. I didn't have her long. Was she not a blessing?
I'm sorry you lost your daughter but she was a blessing and she is in heaven because died as a child. U will be w.her also in the kingdom of God amen.
Shiloh!
What is parsha?
What‘s about Ishmael. I ask myself, did he hear Sara laughin? And if he did, what impact has is on the whole story and the death of Sara?
God knows by though
Read Genesis (Barashit). 21-22 and compare what is said here.
Isaias 25:8
So the angel has authority over G-d? 😮
Wh!,,,, whattt? Haha+😂 😂 🤣 Authority over God? Did he just say this? I mean what is he trying to prove? It's true now days there are people saying about madness.. confusing people and started questioning and it become a stupid topic... And the person who confuse people become popular..
Can you see without your eyes.
How old was Isaac?
I think well with Rabbis discussion on these various classic stories what I am seeing is an investigative archaeological observation of the Tora as in this age we observe very good details historical moral blessings and a dividing the candy bar of truth it's not all sugar and it's part chocolate but it's good as Rabbi reviews the Now that ain't true but what is fact... Rabbi also cuts out lots of drama and small stuff..... this is real human thinking' 4 797 years later.... more or less...
Who's the other person?
I think he's the one who runs the soundboard. Idk why they're showing him. I think, in a previous video a while back, Rabbi Friedman had a conversation with him about whatever the topic was. I could be wrong but I remember something like that.
Oh my, Rabbi Friedman! Thank you so much. Beautiful story.
Only in Judaism an people laugh at god, question god, bargain with god, run from god.. makes a big difference.
not right but have to do love 💖 u
Anyone ever try to think about what it would be like for a consciousness to integrate with a planetary systems compositional dynamics? The progressions of insight coagulated & consequent responsibility for inherent operations... What levels of differentiations of actuality reflect upon the rightfully arrogant most blessed aspect. How cruel a fate of engagements it is when perverse is characterized as the epitomy of Divinities existent you putrid wonder. And this while knowing the harmonized heights of bliss so effortlessly maintained by diligence of focus by so few. What endless obsessions with distraction crown the accomplishments of intentional catastrophic malice has perpetuated globally as oblivions mocking revelries.

Different explanation: The angel came to sara and Abraham and told them they will have their son. What he did not know was that god had different plans. When the time of the sacrifice came, the angel realised that he fucked up. To keep his promise, he went behind gods back and stopped the whole thing. To me the angel is the only good guy, keeping his promise and protecting the poor boy from his psychotic father and the interdimensional monster.
😂 I'm christian born again Christian and thst was hilarious interpretation
@@ThetennisDrget Jordan Peterson's interpretation is more accurate with the story ... I love Rabbi but he does some kind of his own philosophy + sometimes not accurate enough narrative like this time ... we know Sarah wasn't a prophet why would she laugh at God's blessing if she was a prophet more like a disbeliever ... The story is going towards a greater narrative since long Abraham was promised great blessings whereas Rabbi made it about Mother ... so Issac would be sacrificed if Sarah didn't intervine? The text clearly shows Sarah laughed like a sniker and the angels were offended for her disbelief not her arguing ... The story with Elijah makes more sense
Wow Marvin you've truly failed to grasp the meaning of the story 🤦
Is this how the Torah written? Sarah laughed because she thought Isaac is not going to live long? .
וַתִּצְחַ֥ק שָׂרָ֖ה בְּקִרְבָּ֣הּ לֵאמֹ֑ר אַחֲרֵ֤י בְלֹתִי֙ הָֽיְתָה־לִּ֣י עֶדְנָ֔ה וַֽאדֹנִ֖י זָקֵֽן׃ - בראשית 18:12C
🤔🤔
Thank you rabbi i now better,understand this story.
Wow! Sarah saved Isaac?
A 50-60+ years old lady giving birth is a extremely miracle and She saved her son?
She was 90 when she gave birth
Tehillim 2
Because you think it's impossible. Like when I had a dream I had a pale white kid with blond hair and blue eyes riding a bike. I woke up laughing saying yeah right like I'm going to have a blond hair blue eyed kid when I'm looking puerto rician completely opposite. But I did and her hair turned white at 4. it from black to blond in two weeks and at six months it turned redish blond
I leashed her
Θέλω να σάς πω ότι ο θεός σάς έχει βοηθήσει αλλά εσείς τό μόνο πού κάνετε είναι να κατηγορείτε και ψάχνετε ένα κορόιδο πού θα ρίχνετε την ευθύνη για ότι καταστρέφεται τα πάντα ακόμα και την φύση.Το να κατηγορείτε ανθρώπους χωρίς λόγο είναι μεγάλη αμαρτία....!!!
În that is about a sacrifice.
however, the angel didn't come to tell the Egyptian woman named Hagar that she will have a son, the question is how come Ismael become an Arab instead of an Egyptian boy as I understand Hagar was Egyptian not an Arab woman .....in Judaism as we speak about Ismael we talk about Arabs WHY IS SO?.... THE DESCENDANTS OF ISMAEL ARE IN EGYPT NOT IN ARABIA, YEHOVAH BLESSES THE EGYPTIANS NOT THE ARABS
Abraham had 8 sons..... only in ISAAC WAS THE HOLY LAND COVENANT..... all other sons were blessed to go into the EAST! ISHMAEL was blessed with WILD MEN OF 12 PRINCES!
Exactly why people have such a hard time digesting really digesting religion because in all of your religiousness you forgetting that people are human. Why did Sarah laugh because she was a human she was living that day living her life with angels flying around in the sky and only a few hundred years from the beginning of time and knowing that they're actually is a God and something was said to her that was about her that was funny she's almost a hundred years old you're going to have a baby how about she was laughing at the thought of Abraham being able to get it up and make the baby so that's why she said she didn't laugh she didn't want to be disrespectful to her husband move on to something else.
It‘s a bit overinterpreted.
Get Jordan Peterson's interpretation is more accurate with the story even though he is not a Rabbi ...
I love Rabbi and really wanted to learn from him but he does some kind of his own philosophy + sometimes not accurate enough narrative like this time ...
we know Sarah wasn't a prophet or why would she laugh at God's blessing if she was a prophet more like a disbeliever ... The story is going towards a greater narrative since long Abraham was promised great blessings whereas Rabbi made it about Mother ...
so Issac would be sacrificed if Sarah didn't intervine? The tone was infering hard on this one ...
My personal take is yes God did want to test the belief of Abraham so he was to sacrifice his only son which meant everything to him ...
He obliged as he was a pagan before following the calling of Yhwh worshipped Moon and all ... For him sacrificing his own child was heart wrenching enough but the pagans did sacrifice a lot and maybe even their child sometimes ... Yhwh distinctively seperated himself from all the gods Abraham made sculpture of from his family heritage ... Well we know Yhwh hates child sacrifice enough to kill the whole generation for it ...
The text clearly shows Sarah laughed like a sniker and the angels were offended for her disbelief not her arguing ... The story with Elijah makes more sense
And this is how people tell each other fancy stories, to deviate from the path of God.
Elohim used Abraham and Sarah as an example and a hidden secret for the children of Promise, God the Father and God the Mother, Gen.1:26-27, Galatians 4:26 Sarah represents Heavenly Jerusalem who is free and is our Mother, Revelation 22:17 the Spirit and the Bride say Come! God bless you
Where did you get this? Sounds like you just made this up.
halul . Call In Sufi Way from in he is in
everything is temporary, doesnt mean everything is a lie.
I don't know about this story and Sarah's laughter. If she believed why did she make a plan for her handmaiden? Most times angels come as one to give a message. I found it quite interesting that this particular time was 3. Representing Father, Son, and Holy Spirit?
Ishmeal was already born. U Be live around 12 years old. She heard this and laughed afterwards. And by the next year she was pregnant.
Lots of reading into the text here, this is not what the text plainly says!!!!!
It was god not angel
I just realized that this guy is a total fruad. Sarah laughed because she was old and barren. God saved Issac because that was His plan all along. Sarah was not a prophet, she was the wife of Abraham, and a faithful wife of a man of God is saved through Him.
For Jewish, Sarah is a prophet.
For Christian, Sarah isn't a prophet.
It depends on your point of view.
@@Kafir.United Christians are the real Jews...Revelation 2:9/3:9 is talking about the people that call Sarah a prophet.
@@dw-rh6fb i talked the point of view of this teacher. Because he is a Jewish, so he explain based on Jewish teaching. I dont talk about your religion.
@@dw-rh6fb isn't it good then that we don't read either of those books? Blissful ignorance.
'Total fraud' from your Christian perspective. That's okay. You're not his target audience. We are. Sounds good to us.

None of the allegories in the bible makes sense.
Abraham was black, his son too-of course!!! His son's name was not "Isaac" it was synonymous with laughter!! In Ancient Hebrew language (which is a Bantu language ie Chewa, Bemba Zambian language s) its "Asseka" (spelling may vary) which means to laugh!!!
