Everyone needs to watch this video of Modi and Rabbi Friedman, So much wisdom and knowledge, yet Modi always has a way to make his audience laugh though the words of Torah. I've traded in all my reality shows for videos with Modi and his friends. I just love these men. Always a positive message.
Thank you Modi for making an episode with Rabbi Manis Friedman!
B"H, HaShem gave "Modi" one of the best acting & comedy talents I have EVER seen in a Jewish comedian! For 44 years I have earnestly followed & drank from the words of HaRav M. Friedman ,many times rewinding his cassete tapes & videos to try to live his Chasidus teachings that bring Torah down to Earth Mamash! the 2 of them together? I plan to keep this video forever!
Thank You so much for this wonderful interview! Very well done!
My name is Yaakov and I was born in Poland. I become a baal teshuva at the age of 15 through the Lauder Foundation... long story... During all those years when I grew up in Poland there was no Chabad shluchim there until the year of 2004 when I actually came to the U.S. to study what it means to be a Jew...
While being in the U.S. I met a lot of Rabbis and all kinds of different Jews and I learned from each person something new.
But somehow I never connected to the teachings of Chabad.
I never knew why...
It wasn't until I met Rabbi YY Jacobson and I heard him speak that I decided to connect myself to him.
I never connected to Chabad teachings because I never met the right teacher.
The teachings of the Rebbes of Chabad are very deep, full of many deep, and hard concepts that are hard to understand.
I am a deep thinker and I like to take my time to learn slowly going deeper and deeper at my own pace.
That's why I like learning the Talmud (Gemara) b'Yiun - slowly with reading the explonations by many different people, seeing it from diffetent perspectives from many different points of view instead of learning it Bekiyus, fast, fast in a DafYomi style without going deep at all...
Therefore I love Chassidus (Sefas Emes from the Rebbe of Ger, Nesivus Shalom from Slonim, Tzidkas Hatzaddik from Rav Tzaddok HaCohen from Lublin, Kedushas Levi from Rav Levi Yitzchok from Bardiczow, and other chassidic seforim...)
But whenever I had the opportunity to meet a Chabbad chossid and learn with him somehow it never spoke to my neshama...
I finally figured out why...
It always felt to lofty, and uphigh, not in this world...
The teachings were deep and needed the explonation which was not provided..
It therefore stayed somewhere in the world above, because it felt as it had nothing to do with me and this world.
That's because I did not understand it at all. It therefore felt very distant from me...
Until I met Rabbi YY Jacobson which changed my life... The way he teaches the teachings of the Chabad is amazing! He takes one concept and he can talk for hours explaining one concept which needs that explonation and which nobody like him provides!
This year I've been blessed to go to his morning lectures and seat right accross of him and drink from his words of wisdom which are transforming my whole being, my view at the world and everything that I have known until now. It is a different type of lenzes that he gives us to see the world from tottally different perspective. It's amazing, and I feel so blessed to have this opportunity to learn from him. I recomend his teachings.
10 years ago I was a camera person for the Positive Judaism in the 5 Towns during an event during which Rabbi Friedman spoke. It was so, so interesting. I never heard him speak again until now. Thanks for reminding me about this big Rabbi and for explaining to us who he is, his background and his connection to the Rebbe which I am now slowly learning about myself while connecting to his teachings and his service of God.
What a great session! These wonderful folks gathered for uplifting conversation. Love Rabbi Friedmans messages for years and just introduced to Modi. It feels like I'm in the right place when I listen.
Absolutely true!!! THE Rebbe is the one who started it all!!!!
Thinking of Rabbi Manis managing to translate the Rebbe???? Insane! Must be a massive genius
I am so uplifted by the way Modi is so positive about being a Jew. As a comedian it would be hard to stay that way,but he does.The respect and caring always comes through
I watch the clips and appreciate all that He shares with us , and there definitely is a lot of knowledge . Thank you for making it possible to watch your podcast and shows. They are great
Lobe this pod cast
That screen in the background makes it appear as if Modi is in the full Lubavitch garb
Now THATs Mosiach Energy!😊
Great Stuff. You guys need to take it on the road.
I remember this. There's a community in Deal, N.J. that took instruction from Schneerson.
Hello Modi:
A surprising connection related to the use of last names, as in family names, also has a connection to the first Lubavitcher Rebbe, Shneur Zalman, the Alter Rebbe.
One of the most significant moments in the Alter Rebbe's life, was when he was pursued by Napoleon Bonaparte when Napoleon invaded Russia.
The approach of Napoleon to the village of Lubavitch forced the Alter Rebbe and his entire family to abandon their home and to flee into exile.
There is a famous story that you can ask Manis about, concerning how the Alter Rebbe returned to his home, in risk of his life, in order to retrieve a pair of gloves he owned which had been left behind in order that those gloves not come into the possession of Napoleon.
Another interesting detail not commonly known about Napoleon, was that as he conquered Europe, he required all the conquered peoples to take on a specific family name by law. The reason for this was in order to be able to trace family lineages across Europe. Prior to this, people generally were simply identified as the son of their father, or sometimes by their occupation or the town in which they resided.
Napoleon forced people to identify their family lineage publicly. So in that sense, this ultimate family name of Shneurson is a reminder of the Alter Rebbe's connection to Napoleon Bonaparte.
Wøw!
כל הכבוד אחי!
This is the first time I've been able to listen to the podcast and I'm blown away. I got into your comedy when Yoely rolled on the scene... Actually I saw the original short years ago and constantly would refer to the Shvigger joke (what you call me? Atleast say it Right!) Even though I didn't know who you were.
This is such a different light and such a different talent but you nailed it. And with Rabbi Friedman, I've been aware of his books and lectures for years though I still managed to learn a number of new things about him!
I'll have to try and listen to a few more of these casts!
Mâybe iyH I'll get to see you tell comedy live in the holy Land one day!
We need rivkah Goldstein on the show
Did you ask bshas maaseh?
Why you have a mask 😷🤔🤔🤔
I thought chabad was first arranged by the first dynasty shenur Zalman not in lubavitch ….. lubavitch didn’t come about till his son DovBer the Mitler Rebbe who passed in 1827 …. Meaning the first generation of chabad/lubavitch geographically speaking didn’t occur in Liubavichi,Russia
Maybe in Liadi ?
Can’t watch it with an ad every 2 minutes
You can listen ad free on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, etc.
Thanks,
- Team MODI
Rabbi Friedman must be a very talented individual to have occupied the position of the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s translator, in real time, no less, taking into account all the , references, whether phraseological, literatim, inferential, in three different (rather biblical )languages , simultaneously! The Italian saying “Traduttore, traditore.” is often times the case in translation, a state the mediocre fall into.. Not Rabbi Friedman’s case. Translating the Rebbe must not have been a picnic.
, Lucky all those who were fortunate enough to have witnessed such a wonder right there and then!
For some reason it sounds muffled when she speaks
Great to see Modi with a fedora and those earphones look like peyes. Good look for you.
Take off your mask mamm
