Love him ! I am Christian and I get such TRUTH from Rabbi Manis.
Likewise
It is written man shall work by the sweat of his brow and does not live by bread alone ........... and to whom much is given much is required.......the Master told the parable of the servant hiding his talent and how displeased he was....
@Wisdom of a Recluse May I ask you a question ❓ What is your faith in ?
why arent you Jewish?
Holy has nothing 2 do with evil
Wish I had a grandfather like him. Wise, kind and insightful.
I did! AND my Bar Mitzvah teacher too could have been his twin brother! ☮️
Finding out the meaning of life plus rabbi Friedman`s wisdom had changed my way of living considerably. If anybody is worth listening to, then it`s him, hands down. And yes, being needed (not used!!...big difference there ) is a blessing - because it`s about sharing. Sharing is about togetherness. Togetherness is about peace. And peace is about love & happiness. Which brings us back to the blessing.
I still always love listening to you Rabbi. Everybody needs a Rabbi especially us Christians:)
this is a fake .....
@@bobobobfellerann4765 I'm Judeo-Baptist
I'm a Christian and Rabbi Manis is a man of Truth and explains things well.-
What scripture backs up this logic? Jews are stuck in the law of Moses.
@@wethepeople6347 The interpretation of the 10 commandments is different is you are a Christian or a Jew, a member of Islam or an Atheist.-
"take my yoke upon you, for my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." This was addressed to "all who labor and are heavily burdened.". Imperfect Christian here who listens here to learn a thing or two. God bless this very interesting man.
You missed the bit where it says learn of me
@@arfermo853 if you're in his yoke you are learning the terrain right there beside him.. on the same path. Surely within earshot.
But our creator does threaten us.
He says - If we don't do His commandments - we will die.
It's in the torah
what a treasure it is to wake up and start the day with with shema to our almighty and a loyal Rabbi Mannis unbelievable teacher xxx
There is nothing better than to know you are needed. Except maybe to search for "what"of it. Life is good. Thank you Rabbi.
Been a long time since I learned anything on CZcams as meaningful as this. Thank you for the genuinely valuable content.
God doesn’t need anything. Our life is a gift to us. So the least you can do is give thanks and live a life of service. You’ll always make mistakes, but that’s a way to remember God as well. Remembrance of God is our purpose and to spend your life getting closer to Him
I love Rabbi's talks. My view of life has been changed. Of course he is right. He's wise, knowing, and has a wonderful attitude about God and Reality.
Wow, where were you when I was going to Hebrew School. I have never heard "need" put this way and yes, it's so much easier to put God's needs first. To feel needed. To remember it's not for you, but for him. Bless you Rabbi.
Spot on, RMF. Please, no more threats.
I found what I had been searching for, took 30+ years but I found it, peace of mind, the truth.
I can finally say, I Told You So. :)
Overall Grade - A+
Resonate 100% with this logic, much appreciated.
The truth ! I say that all the time ! God need us to flourish his creation. Every action as his experience. He gets joy out of our action. I am spiritual and always known this
No. God doesn't need us. God is independent . We depends on God. Is there anything from scripture support your and rabbi opinion?? It sounds crazy to me.
@@hassendelft3907 God needs us to love him and be righteous and fulfill God's reason for creating mankind--make the world a spirit-dwelling place with love and peace. We are holy and reverent not needy and weak. God doesn't make junk.
@@sandylizoo I am Muslim. We believe that God doesn't need his creation. He is independent. His creation depends on him. That is what the Quran say, I don't know about the Torah. I think the same thing.
God doesn't need us, we need him because we are nothing without him but he is God without us, and we must serve him in fear ''the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom." So don't talk nonsense and don't lead others in the wrong way
@@user-ly5pd8zo5b 👍🏼 that make sense and it's what scriptures say.
I love to listen to your pearls of wisdom! I also often remember not to criticize my children at the dinner table, even if it is sometimes difficult to accomplish.
Thanks Rabbi , brilliant again. However I have to lie on the floor at the moment because of sciatica and struggle to hear even though the laptop is at full volume. These videos leave me in thoughtful good humor because of your humor and truths that I had not realized.
Thanks so much, Rabbi..Yasher koakh..Shalom v' Brocho.. greetings and blessings from Chicago
I fell in love with your videos, personally and truth. Thank you! ❤️
To Be True That Matter, To Do God's Will That Also Matter, I Thank And Praise God For You, Have A Glorious Day 💖🇮🇱🕊SHALOM
Rabbi Friedman, you are exceptional. As a Christian, I prefer to listen to you than a catholic priest because Rabbis TEACH; catholic priests LECTURE. God bless you!
Check out the YT channel Sensus Fidelium. It has great Catholic sermons.
Ridiculous statement. You tar all Catholic priests because one or two of them are not getting their message across? Balderdash!! Do you also assume that all Rabbis are as exceptional in speaking as Rabbi Friedman? Or all as charismatic as Ghandi, or the Dali Lama? You definitely need to get out more. Nonetheless, I'm happy that you've found solace on this site. ✝️🔥
Back in high school I joined the track team in the 10th grade. My selection of events to participate in was limited because I am vertically challenged. 😆 Back then I am pretty sure I hadn't even reached 4'10" yet.
So the hurdles were out, and so were any of the sprint races. That left me with either long distance running, which I was really good at and wanted to do, or the boring running around the track a few times races, like the one they made me do. The 440.
I always lost because I hated that race and put zero effort into even placing. I always finished last, and remember spending the entire time grumbling to myself because I joined track to find something I could be successful at, not be forced to do something I didn't even WANT to do.
Back then they didn't give rewards for participation like they do now. If you didn't succeed you either tried harder, or found something else to do that you might be better at. 🤷♀️
I'm glad they didn't give rewards for participation, because as a young developing mind that would have taught me that my half butted, bad attitude efforts were enough to get me a reward. No... That those things DESERVED a reward.
Now a days people are being treated like animals when we "treat train" them. Do what I say and you get a "cookie", don't listen or don't do it because you don't understand what is being asked of you and you get rejected and told, "do this or else".
There's no balance in our teaching anymore. It's my way or the highway. Do or die. Accept or be rejected.
God doesn't "need" us. He WANTS us. We are His children whom He created and Loves even more than we Love our own children.
He wants what is best for us, which is to live within the sphere that we were created to live in... Relationship with Him, which is what brings balance into our life and relationships with each other.
And when we find that place of balance we were designed to live in, we will also find all those seemingly elusive things we are endlessly chasing like Peace, Hope, Contentment, and Love.
Because God is a God of perfect design. He never strays from His design, we do. And then we wonder why He "feels" so far away, when the Truth is, He is so much closer than we realize, and we are really just suffering from a broken connection in our conscience that keeps us looking for all the right things, in all the wrong places.
Amen and Amen 🤗
You saying god wats something that he doesn’t need? So Wrong
@@isaacweingarten Just because we were "created in His image", does not mean we are truly representing His image.
We have been taught to look at Him as though we ARE representing Him in this confused state of being.
Instead of looking honestly at ourselves to see where we are misrepresenting Him unintentionally, so we can fix it and we can represent Him properly.
HE is God. We are not.
We are a reflection of our parents, aren't we? Just as we reflect the qualities our parents taught us while growing up, we are meant to be a reflection of God's Love, Mercy, Truth, and Acceptance.
We were created in His image to reflect His Goodness, His Kindness, His Love... To one another. We are all kinda stuck together here on this planet aren't we? 😆
Wouldn't it just be wiser to try to find a way to get along?
I agree and I enjoyed reading about your journey to your realisation.
I’m a Greek Christian and don’t go to church but joined a baptist church to do Gods will . I agree God needs us so he can bring heaven to earth. Knowing that we can do gods work through us and plant seeds in his glory makes sense.
I am Christian but sometimes wonder if I should have been a Jew! 😁 I have learned a lot from people of the Jewish faith.
This teaching was definitely an "Aha!" moment. Shalom to you Rabbi Manis.
Me too, they are very insightful and realistic about things...
A kid turned around and said, “ l will be with you.” Every one wants care. Hashem too. ( Face-to-face. Compassion with listening eyes.) - from Japan.
This video wasn't what I expected it to be. It is MUCH deeper than I thought it was gonna be lol
No, God does not need us nor need anything we can give. But, He wants us and wants the things we can give because it is good for us. It is good for us to give. Good for us to do what he tells us.
Hello Bro , learning Jews wisdoms every single day , never stop learning as a grow man ! No street hooligan Jews needed !
What insight about the teenage boy not needing to call his mother but the mother needing him to call her wow! I am a grandmother and it made me think about a time when I told my granddaughter"you need to respect me".. after listening to Rabbi I now see it's really about ME needing HER to respect me!
Thank you for this message.
I see what Rabbi Friedman means. We don't do something we need to do. We do it because others, including God, need us to do something. Umm, it's like a football game, YOU don't need to play well and win the game for yourself, but because the team has a need to win and you can do it!!
G-D is the TRUTH. Blessed be H-S Wonderful and Joyful Name 😇😇
Wonderful words, wonderful insight. I wish you a glorious meeting with him when it's the right time 😀.
I always enjoy listening to you
The only rabbis that answers all the questions that were not allowed to be asked for years
Thank you for your wisdom and some honesty Rabbi. About 40 years ago, as a child, I began to ask questions because I wanted to understand. The conclusion I came up with and the only one that made sense to me is that the need is on the creator, not the created. If God or gods created humans, they did it out of some need. Otherwise, why else? So did God create man or does man create their gods? While I am not a believer and am an atheist and have been my entire life, I am an ally of the Jewish people because I respect their message. But what pushed me to reject religion as a kid is that I did not accept that I would be punished if I did not keep my part of the deal that I did not ask to be a part of.
In fact, one of the first faiths that appealed to me as I explored faiths was Zoroastrianism. In simple terms, the duality of Zoroastrianism presented the deities of Ahura Mazda (good) and Angra Mainyu (evil). But Ahura Mazda as the god of good, light and wisdom, does not demand worship or obedience as part of the relationship. Ahura Mazda is simply the followers guide to good. It's up to us which path we choose. So even as a atheist, I can respect that message much the same way I respect the message of the Jewish faith.
But does God need me or the does the Church need me to believe that I would need a god. I would think it would be much more financially beneficial to the Church for me the believe that I needed and from the looks of the opulence of the Vatican or the mega-church leaders flying in their private jets, it looks like they've doing perfectly fine without my money.
But no, I don't need God or gods and It's refreshing to hear honesty and reason being shared by you.
Rabbi, Thank you for your service. A heartfelt lesson for me.
Thankful that I was raised without any religion. I believe in spirit and an energy filled universe.
Very True thank you Rabbi always🙏
God doesn't need he desires. He wants you to obey. and you do need him to take even your next breath. isaiah 42:5
I'm Muslim and I ❤ love this labbi...He's brilliant. Thank you so much for wisdom you give us. May Allah bless you .
Your name says enough!
You are a muslim?

Thank you rabbi 🙏may God bless you
For what He created me!? The right word to ask.
Why should I say Tehillim? Because He wants to hear His own words coming out of my mouth. He gave us His signs, His letters. He gave us live with a breath. Every single holy word comes with this breath out of my mouth directly into His ear. I think He needs to hear His words coming from me.
🌞🙂,thank you!
It's being said ; there is a time for everything , a time for questions and a time for answers ! Compass does not remove the sea neither makes it less dangerous than it was 3000 years ago , but it help to have one , if you plan to go at sea ! we will always need to be religious when facing the unknown!
If God is eternal and humans were not there from the beginning what does He need us for? What was He doing prior to our creation? Was he unfulfilled or incomplete? What does He need us for? How do we complete Him or what is He lacking without humanity? He created out of love not need. What is true is true doesn’t matter if fear is used to convey the message maybe it’s not as effective specially in this age since we don’t respect our ancestors and their experiences in the same way. I guess humanity has progressed to the point that we are figuring out stuff the our ancestors that where obviously not as intelligent could not grasp. I would suggest that there have been many civilizations that have existed that did not believe in God or had the Fear of the Lord. Not sure if they were happier.
The complexity, complexion or Oneness of HaShem is just what initiated the primordial separation meaning there is the answer, the fact that G-d doesn't need because he is One is what can be interpreted as the primordial need that makes every single factor in the universe look for the autocancellation or what the CERN looks for, the antimatter. And it is said that men was made in the image of Him... Male and female. They were one entity, same as here for example in Argentina was quite common since the crash of 2001 that people went to the houses looking for a job offering something that nobody needs, cut the grass for example, clean the backyard or front yard. As the owner of the house, out of love the need of this work is generated so that the worker can fulfill the service to his master. G-d need us, to return and this was the first commandment to be one in flesh with a woman. Both noahides and jews have the commandment of find their halves because there is no way they can serve the Master as a half. The sephira of Yessod is also for gentiles to take care of. All the suffering, wars, blood , tears, sweat is because gentiles continuously fail since the time of Noah to fix Yessod. What's the main thing that every gentile hates the most? The union between man and woman, look how the gentiles put laws in order to condemn this, making practically or leaving for young people to get old being a pgem HaBrit with the only possibility to marry a "violated" woman. Nonjews create an environment such that girls lose their innocence every time younger. It was the 50s when woman still got to the marriage in ideal condition not to defeat the purpose of guarding the foundation. I doubt there is any turning point for humanity and what was in the time of Noah when they did all the possible not only to avoid contact between two innocent people but to leave the only possibility to commit bestiality and woman woman relationship. Wasting seed, is equal to causing harm and bleeding, which equals to sustenance. The gmarah practically concludes prior to Gog Magog war with the worst inflation in human history. The countries who waste seed the most are usually the ones who suffer the most the economic crisis. Argentina and eastern europe are the most miserable places where even though they are rich by resources, all is wasted and people are poor. Now others have join the club also.
Have it turned all the way up and I'm on a Bluetooth speaker can't still barely hear it
I too am a Christian and Rabbi Friedman’s message rings true to the scriptures. The LORD/Ha Shem looks at the heart of man and He’s not so big on religion as many would have us believe. Thank you!
Thanks for the great infos! Blessings be to the Rabbi.
i need to become a vip and join in discussions, I think your pretty awesome rabbi thank you
Thank you Rabbi! I love your teaching.
Great words. Thank you so much for sharing!
When I first started listening to your message, my mind started racing, all I could think about was Revelations and how, Satan's demons would build their strongholds throughout many religious establishments to decieve followers of their faith. Then on second insight I said to myself "If this Rabbi doesn't have some wisdom to offer at the end of this message, I do not feel what he is saying, is worth me listening to. At this point, entered your message scene where the young boy needed to call his mother and I started to smile, seeing clearly your point/truth. Thankyou for this lovely message.
So much Wisdom!
The religious and academic institutions seem to provide social support. The technology nowadays does provide far greater and accurate information on every subject matter. Most people agree its better to give than receive I think. You hit the nail on the head with God the spirit if love and truth wanting to share in creation with man. Without the divide and conquer game and cut the deck etc..
But is it all true? In Proverbs 9:10 it says “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom
I have always thought you do the right thing not out of hope of reward or fear of punishment, but because it is the right thing to do. People do not need an invisible authority figure standing over them with a carrot or stick to have them behave morally. I have known many atheists and agnostics who behave more morally than many theists.
I am an Atheist but he makes a lot of good real human sense.
Good arguement, but in the example you mentioned, the grandpa doesn't need the child to go to school, because without the grandson, he can live peacefully. It is from his love that he wants the grandson to go to school and have a life for himself. I don't know why god burns people who disbelieves him, but in other senses, if you see a religion carefully, it wants you to have a good life. God threaten us because we are like kids who don't listen or tells us that we have rewards for our good deeds to encourage us to do more. It is like a family, our family doesn't need us but want us to born and grow even if we have disease before birth.
I can not understand god, but i can remain assured that a god which needs sth can never be existed.
As above, so below, we need our children.
@P B that statement has to do with Baphomet
He needs a family, not forced but wanted to be in His family because they genuinely love God and what He loves, they weren't forced they weren't joining due to threats they joined by thier own free will because they wanted too. Fake and real are greatly different one doesn't need motivation to do what is needed because it's what they want to do, not from any force driving them.
bs"d very cute - G-d brought us to a very expensive restaurant and now He wants us to pay the bill... kind of apt... but it is a good restaurant... just, if I am not able to pay the bill before I croak, I get worried about who else will get stuck with it, because I was such a selfish minx... who is He going to stick, with my bills? Scary. So I hang on, even though the debt increases and I can't pay anything, and what others will get stuck with gets worse and worse. Washing the dishes in the back won't help; if I can't pay, maybe they will use my sub-particulate remnants to make the next Higgs bosons. Which is very dangerous for everyone.
There are many of the musts that I do not do the one that I will always do is remember baruch ashem
I think it’s time Jews and Christians of all denominations should just join together and form one family and with Rabii Manis Friedman leading that unity I would follow him and unite together to do this crazy insane life thing for God !
I think it says they will in the book of Zechariah chap8 verse23
Jews are G-d's chosen to be a light for all nations...to teach them the 7 Noahide commandments. All of men and woman born into the world have to bring good into this world that G-d created!
This feels like something that makes perfect sense to anyone under 30 and no sense to people over 30 and I feel like that explains everything in our society.
That would require the rabbi to be under 30.
Respect love and gratitude.
"GOD brought us to a very expensive restaurant...and now he wants us to pay the bill" that's really what life feels like sometimes.
Rabbi explained it so well! 👍
The lie is holding us back truth would make peace and understanding comes with truth
@@termination9353 I am not a Rabbit . I'm not even sure if I am Jewish. I do not understand your question either.
Rabbi*
@@termination9353 The Alpha Omega Almighty most high creator of all things alive & dead,makes it admirably clear,not to forget,that it was he who freed the slaves, from under the bondage of Egypt's Pharoah.Only perhaps showing concern that such ancient scriptures,are remembered thru key,eventful memories in time,just may fade away in annals of history, into Grains of Sand in the Saharan Desert.
Thank You!
If God needs us , he is not the creator anymore we are, because he(God) depends on us. God needs and God wants us to do something are different things. GOD DOES NOT NEED ANYONE OF US!!!!!
Nothing can change the fact that He created the world. Regardless of who needs what. Your statement doesn't actually make sense.
That blew my mind.
Rabbi: I’m not Jewish but your words (not just this video) resonate strongly with me. Is your thinking in line with mainstream Judaism? Also, because of you I’ve developed a strong interest in Judaism and have so many questions. Where would you recommend I go to ask my questions?
His thinking is in line with a deep understanding of Chassidut - teachings that were revealed some 300 years ago or so. These teachings don't claim to bring anything new to Judaism, they merely bring to light ideas which were always part of Judaism but at some point were too much ignored or discarded, certainly not emphasized enough.
The group of "expounders" of Chassidic philosophy which most expounded on the teachings, is called Chabad, and is the group that Manis Friedman belongs to and the teachings of which he teaches to the world. There are "Chabad Houses" all over the globe, open and available for anyone interested in more information on any given topic. You can look up a local Chabad house easily online...
@@ysiegel Thank you very much for your response. I will definitely be looking to see where my nearest Chabad house is.
And yet, the Lord says, (in Proverbs 8:32, 35) “blessed are they that keep my ways... for whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the Lord!”
Nicely put. Golden words.
השם מלך, השם מלך, השם ימלוך לעולם ועד ❤
Thank you rabbi
Love youuuuuuuu ❤
Best speech. I loved it
Beautiful 💯❤️
I turned from Christianity once I found the teaches of the Rabbis! Praise the G-D of Abraham Isaac and Jacob!
He is Great genius, creating a guilt, the Rabbi is so brave love him😁👍
Thank you sir
Thank you
I’m not sure I understand the premise. If God needs anything, then that would mean He is incomplete which would also disqualify Him being God.
Exactly even a 5 year old Yeshiva student in Israel knows that much
Im not sure about this but there is something to this whole statement that bothers me. I dont agree to what he says. Because correct me if im wrong GOD DOESNT NEED ANYTHING FROM HUMAN RACE, WE NEED HIM.
@@sallev1136 I find this a bit misleading.
@@abijahelliot8807 Of course not we need God more than he needs us a 5 year old at a Jewish school knows that and yes it should bother you and everyone else coming from the mouth of a Rabbi
Makes sense.
''How wonderful to be so profound
When everything you are is dying underground.''
… motivation instead of need…
So if indeed threats of reward and punishment don't work, why does God waste his time constantly emphasising reward and all the more so punishment, throughout scripture???
And where exactly is the source in the written torah (or at least in the oral torah) that god needs anything from us??? There isn't even a hint!
Wow! Surprised to know that religious leaders of Abrahamic religions like this learned Rabbi (deserving the highest respect) also think so nicely like Indian sages, rishis & gurus without any fear of God . Yes, it is so much logical that God created us all mainly to meet His requirements which some how gets fulfilled if we worship Him, praise Him, venerate Him. Otherwise creation itself seems not needed and uncalled for, but (seems) could not be stopped and obviously root cause of all problems. This (seems) to be actual reason why Lord Shiva reprimanded the creator God Lord Brahma (Lord Shiva's another version/manifestation) and even cursed him (sanctioned) not to be worshiped (which is very well followed to this day i.e. not worshiping the creator version of God (Brahma) except in two temples in India). (I'm a confused non-devout Catholic in India.. open to free thinking and exploration). Regards
Thanks!
James, thanks again. Your support means the world to us!
Honest Rabbi end days indeed thaks you Mannis most kind of you...
thank you
Doing for another is needed. Created for what? It's about the other 'selfless'.
Replace the word "God" with the word "Good" & it all makes perfect sense .
Good needs us to do certain things make personal sacrifices , take less ., not to stand by .
No More Threats.
Thank you so much ❤
Can you quote a single verse from the Bible hinting that all mighty God needs man? This is a huge theological claim, so you should be able to support it very explicitly.
