I thought I was the only Catholic who really loves this Rabbi's sermons! He is a powerful preacher and touched by God's power!
I'm Catholic but I learn so much from these videos. After all, whether we are Christian, Jewish, or Muslim, we all worship the God of Abraham.
Muslims do not worship the God of Abraham. Read the Kuran then you will see , all of Islam is a lie. Remember what Paul says " I don't care if an angle comes down, if he preaches a different gospel he is a liar." The Koran is a different gospel.
The god of Quran is NOT the GOD of Abraham
@@tomythekkekara3887 You tell that to Muhammad.
Much respect, am getting to understand God the way I never thought.
It makes even what seemed "impossible", turn into "i'm-possible!" 🔥❤️😘
Rabbi, a wise man who makes wisdom clearer and easier to understand. Thank you G-d for directing my path.
Faith Malonga you are right
For your teaching, I am blessed. Thank you for clearly showing me a truth within many truths.Blessings Upon your Children's Children. May they hold these Truths and not depart from them.
Shalom to you and yours as well... 🔥❤️😔
I like this Rabbi. Wise, humble, intelligent... And brings me close to Torah.
@SIMPSON Bart If you don't like, don't listen. Maybe you need another Rabbi, and you have the freedom to listen whoever you want. I just said: "I like him" and the most important thing: "brings me close to the Torah".
@@priltzer ;(as per the answer of the other person)... the best way to answer fools is by ignoring them
@@u.y.3643 That's something I need to learn.
@@priltzer ; glad that rabbi Friedman's lessons are bringing you close to Torah. He is an excellent Torah scholar from whom all of us can learn so much.
That is truly YAHsome🔥❤️🙏💯.
Shalom
You are also a sage I believe. Very fascinating video. I am a Christian and your video make my faith more strong. These stories always tangles my brain up but watching these videos solves everything up. May G_d bless you.
@SIMPSON Bart How would you know? Christians come in all shapes and forms. Many try very hard to get close to G-d and they go directly to G-d and search for actual truth.
I started watching Rabbis long before I actually left Christianity. At first I just wanted to know who are Jews. What is their side of the story.
Truth be told. Many curses put upon us God turns into blessings. God decides who to bless and who shall be condemned not man! Amen Rabbi.
Yes🔥❤️🙏
Thank you rabbi. May you all have an easy fast.
Fasting is easy. No need for extravagant cooking, cleaning dishes, etc.. I see it as the real feast❤️🔥💯🙏
He meant it for Evil. But God meant it for Good. Genesis 50:20
Thank you for coursing me. I grow. Today more then any other night. Bless u
This is a lesson obviously te creator wanted me to hear considering what I'm going through
I feel this
Whenever we are ready, He finds a way to show us the WAY. YAHsome❤️😔💯🔥💋
I'm not a Jew but since a couple month, i watch his vidéos and some others too. Great People, Great Words and this Rabbi got a lot of sense of humor. Not so long ago i didn't know the bible at all, aside a little bit the christian view. I don't really know why i've been reading, the Bible, a lot since the last 6 months . Not easy to understand why this or that, also i like see this kind of videos
Check out Michael food videos, specially the chronological Gospel,
Shalom!

Sometimes God needs his people to be wise in terms of war. I am guilty of dark thoughts. But I am reminded every time that God wishes to save all. So it's best to send that message. But in todays world, evil spreads quickly.
Yes He does💯🔥❤️.
Thanks for doing your part
Thank you for the clarity teachings of TORAH. Much appreciated.
Wow. Words of real wisdom. Thanks Rabbi.
Taxpayer money should not be wasted... especially in the name of JUSTICE!
?
Bless u father. Wish u long livity
A great message and truly blessed me.
About the love thing, animals don't naturally need our love because they don't naturally need us. Domesticated animals can end up missing us, we have a duty to love them at that point. Last but not least plants aren't objects, they are living creatures capable of perceiving and reacting to the world around them. Objects themselves aren't just there to be used, Moses was asked to talk to a rock. Their main purpose is usage but then again the main purpose of a rock isn't to make water.
Refreshing. Thank you, seriously, you have something good.
Always my favorite part of the story is the donkey.
The dark background makes it look like we're listening to a floating head!
@@dethstark Yeah! I found out that the guy who played Jambi passed away last month.
Lolol truth
😂😂😂
In just think you made God laugh
A desire to see is not the same as a desire to serve.
A very enlightening Torah study and lecture. Thank you Sir. The Apostle James (Yakov) wrote to first century Christians "Therewith (the tongue) bless we God, even the Father, and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so." James 3:9-10. I am taking your words to heart, and thank Elohim for the wisdom he has imparted unto you.
YAHsome quote💯 and timely reminder🔥. Shalom❤️
After last week I needed to hear from my Favorite Rabbi, Baalums Donkey could see the Angel in the road, even when Baalum had no idea he was about to be struck dead.
Powerful and moving words rabbi, thank you.
There is "seeing" outside, and there is "seeing" within! The single eye! 🔥❤️😇sees and its owner walks in total love and faith!
Thank you for this teaching Rabbi
Wonderful message. Rabbi you explain so well. Thank you
Could you please make a video on a story of Lot and his daughters and why they commit incest.
The right question should be "what is the evidence that act of incest occured?" Let's say it was just a fake news propagated for 100's of centuries.
@SUMMED ude forget about hatred. Be open minded and don't consider anyone who has a different opinion or disagree with you as someone who hates. Personally, this won't prevent me to like you if I see in you other positive sides.
@@dimathem6188 How would that be the right question when the discussion is about the details within the narrative of the story it is a given this occurred or there would be nothing to discuss, if your looking to discuss the authenticity of the Torah you need to find another site as that is not the topic of discussion here. Furthermore " let's say " is an assertion without substance, why would anyone be interested in your opinion on the subject considering your comment,
Straw man arguments.
@@lucis3452 No one is asking you to believe it, and no one is interested in your opinion
Very interesting topic. I thank you for your videos
Very well done Chief.
Thanks for the insight of yours.
Thank you for this wonderful video, Rabbi!
So beautiful full of teachings story 🥺
Good morning Rabbi!
Thank You Rabbi Friedman!
I remember when the pastor talked about Balam at the service but he didn’t mention that he was a prophet
To commune with GOD and see him face-to-face, one must SEEK this experience and be in the right frame of mind. The reason why Baalim could see GOD, but not the angel is simple -- He initially wanted to speak to GOD, believing GOD would grant his desire to curse some random desert wanderers and collect a substantial reward...GOD always answers a prayer made in good faith. When GOD tells Baalim NO and informs him that these are his chosen people, Ballim is disappointed, and his heart was no longer in the right place. That is why he could not see the angel.
Notice also, as Baalim studies the Camp of Israel, God shows Baalim the beauty of the camp --GOD is showing Baalim WHY he loves the Children of Israel... The King had offered Baalim his treasures, now GOD is showing his wares.... Unfortunately, Baalim set his heart upon the gold of this world, and rather than loving God's Chosen People, he sought to destroy that which made them beautiful. If he could not use the power of God to curse them, then the King could use the power of sin to get them to curse themselves.
The purpose of this life is for us to prove ourselves -- to discover what lies at the heart of our true nature... Whether we desire the things of GOD, of MEN, or EVIL... Baalim proved that he loved mammon more than righteousness, and was willing to destroy good to obtain gold.
Thank you for beautiful message
I just love Rabbi Manis, he makes parts from the bible seem quite humorous and especially this one, I have read many parts of the bible and found them rather austere and humourless but this good man puts a completely different slant on things when reading the bible, maybe there should be more people like this Rabbi to (use the word translate) the bible to us, I am sure it would make a more appealing look at scripture for all of us, especially us Christians out here and who knows it may make for a movement all over the world who could read and enjoy scripture, this man has a gift from God.
Thank you Rabbi!!!
The whole moral of the story is that curses only work when you do bad deeds .only negative actions bring negative consequences . And positive ones brings forth positive ones .So the reason bilam could see God was because God was making an example out of him to the people hiring him to let them know through him that Israel is protected by God himself.and because their holiness and fulfillment of commandments were done nothing could ever touch Israel encampment. Then Bilam found out that by making them sin they could be revoked of their divine protection So bilam was wicked indeed the worst one ever Because he was conspiring ways to achieve that by tricking Israel,. And it baffles me that God allowed him to see Him just like Cain could see God after murdering his brother , or Moses later on when murdered the Egyptian just defending the Israelite from being beaten , So all these men really didn't have a clean soul. They all sinned really bad high level sins and yet they saw God. Is just that God's love is infinite. And like you said God is desperate for us No matter what we do as long as we repent sincerely and deeply He will always be there for us as long as your heart is in the right place , when I said in the right place it means same level as God's consciousness and state of manifestation while you call it holy or clean or pure , is really about remaining on the same God's perspective ,standpoint view, thought process , analytical mind , Same creative standing and spiritual level . He just wants something very specific with each chosen servant throughout all generations because each individual chosen servant has a set of skills and talents that not everybody has so God works with the best each one has and help them tremendously never ending , so I cannot say that a prophet is better than others because that would make an injustice to the rest of servants that did their part in the narrative , according to their attributes a,skills ,gifts , powers , holiness, whatever else is there, so each one of us has something jthat God specifically use for His plans and purposes ,even though we all know that God created all those things He just does it just for the sake of sharing his plans and goals using us together fulfill it. God does not want to do all things alone all the time hence the word God made man is his image in his likeness ,therefore He sits in our crown to help us do things together shared.
I'm trying to bring love and stop hate or misunderstanding from people who want to be heard but you my brother if you give it a chance and stand with me not in front but beside me you will see happiness and joy and a better understanding of everything that you are trying to understand
Are you Ok Rabbi. I saw a sadness in your eyes that made me a little concerned.
You are a Wise Manis. I love your teaching
Beautiful...
🤔❤🙏
Thank God!!
Thank you Rabbi
Thank you
Shalom alikum.
Well for a start, only god is good, people are not. And secondly to experience absolute good is as harmful to a physical person as to experience absolute evil. We a not conceive the brilliance and brightness of gods full presence.
Great analysis.
God ísrael love him too much for said my family members Amén Hallelujah 🙏
Good-hearted guy, this rabbi. Alas!, god does not exist, and we all know it, only - it's just so hard to admit it, to face it.
THE BEST RABBI
I knew my dog Daisy was special! 🦋when I was in pain she would shake.
thank you
Strange you did not mention Moshe rabinu even once. You mentioned David Melekh, Mashiah , but usually when a rabbi lectures on Bilaam he tends to show all the opposite sides of Bilaam on Moshe.
Interesting lecture . It is really a deep mystery that a person could reach such a high level of impurity , unholiness , and wickedness (level 50 even greater in absolute terms to Moshe’s level of greatness and holiness which is 49) and still see Adonai.
Interestingly YAHsome, indeed! 🌷
Great lesson.
I've heard since I was young that animals can see "spirits".
I'm intrigued that the donkey in this Scripture proved that is true but I wonder how it is possible that beasts are given such a gift while humans are not.
More of God's wisdom is needed.
In Jewish commentary it explains (the Rabbi summarizes it here in different words) that animals don't have the level of intelligence necessarily to go insane from fear when they see something out of this world...
Animals not beasts.
Is not a gift for animals per se, but that there is a veil over humans' eyes
I was hoping the Rabbi would have at least attempted to address Balaam's prophecy Numbers 24:15-24.
🙏🏽
God never gave man freedom of choice, he gave man a command and a warning. If God would have given man a freedom of choice he cannot hold man responsible for their sinful choice because he let them choose.
god says,there will come many false prophets
It was man who didn't want him in our presence because they didn't want God to see the sin
Amazing 👏👏👏
And of course God can appear to wicked people, he would be compelled to help his creations who are in need of his mercy and understanding fatherly ways to hopefully guide them back onto the right path.
Thank you, my Friend.
Once you see it changes everything
Why sunday instead of saturday?
please share more wisdom in Torah, which I would never ever figure out in the church.
Why not ask the Son of Man who is the one who bestows Wisdom to the blind.

Blessings or Cursings ! What's this life for ? Helping those under the spell ? This is God's war ! We can help in it ! By being The Good Salt !
Well I would not exactly call it seeing, it is more your mind understands every image and angle of what he is revealing to you, an epiphany.
Balaam didn't see God, he could speak with God, but he never saw God!! There is a difference.
Ignorance is blissed
15:58 Amen.
Thank you so much Rabbi
Shalom. Hope you continue drawing closer to Abba, daily Lisa. Now and forever and ever, He is there, for you. 😇

When I heard you mention Balaam I was laughing. Ever since I started doing torah portions about a month ago, every week we seems to be going back to Balaam. Thank you for this teaching
8:39 Thank you; finally, I can shut up. ( i have had a few drinks per your advice Rabbi.) Anyway; I'm the least. Shalom
Invisible Death's imitating game.

a beast know's nothing but love,untill a man teaches otherwise.... all creation is 1 sole,you are not excluded in this, and i know you know this
10:14 I never knew that.
It was the 12 Tribes , not only decendants of Judah .
Rabbi the better question is why did G-d associate his divine knoweledge with Ba'alam and even speak to him G-d knowing the intent of his heart.
Although I am Catholic, this rabbi's message is deep and beautiful. Thank You Lord because even though you have established a New Alliance through your son. You still have not forsaken your first people but still share your wisdom through them.
Shalom Rabbi... Thank you for the video.
Would you say that from a Christian perspective (if you theoretically were able to see yourself as one), that he did get His curse in?
Why we dont love eachother
Answer evilness .we dont like illmannereds. Satan is not soul
Sipirit.
Thank for the wisdom dear Rav
Amen ❤ who people know her ? If have people know ? Now i can try find the clue . Amen ❤
I think I have heard it all from you. I couldn't believe it but it's true, Once you said that we don't need Elohim, that He needs us, and now you compare seeing Elohim to pornography, you have gone mad in your own wisdom
😂 😂 😂 🤣 🤣 Lol
He does not ANYWHERE say that we don't need Hashem... You're another example of a troll looking to bash and misunderstanding/representing the facts...go work for CNN i hear they have an opening for the likes of you
Also, the video regarding seeing in context of Godliness is a different video from that discussing seeing in regards to pornography... The ideas the rabbi is explaining are written explicitly in Chassidic teachings. I realize people don't like that which is different or unfamiliar to them, but it is no need to falter to such low depths of human behavior
Oh yes Rabbi does say that God needs us and we don't need God.
Like the child says to his parent: I did not ask to be born. When we were born and we did not give permission but God (in his wisdom) needed us and that is why he made us. We humans think of need as a sign of weakness. Not true.
14:19 didn't his donkey kill his pride with its words? heap loving kindness on Balaam's head. Imagine; seeing Him in paradise? what a shmuck.
Pronouncing a curse onto an individual, person or peoples outside of God's will, (Ananias and Sapphira's fate was not from a curse but a decision made by God and expressed through a word of knowledge.) Is pure evil and completely malevolent. But when directed on to systems of malevolence and entrenched powers of evil in order to bring down that particular enemie's plans, it can only be good, as it protects the whole community. I regularly curse the plans of my enemies without cursing them.
It's like this man fills in things & information not told in the Bible..I'm trying to understand how to put Torah teachings with what the bible says& now extremely confused cause Torah has to be the word of God also?? Anyone ??
Star Wars Gnosticism and the Higgs Field (the Kingdom of God). You can tap into both the Dark Side of the Force and the Light side of the Force. But God can communicate through both.
Eventually he did curse the Israelites. He got them to be attracted to the daughters of the people and they went and sinned. In the end ha achieved his goal. Why was that allowed? Seems to me the people of Israel were the problem. The reason G-d allowed this.
He didn't set out with a sword tho...
