I find Jewish rabbis lectures to be very relaxing , there a great sense of clarity and relaxation these guys are very down to earth and not hyper emotional like alot of Christian preachers
Same here, and I am christian. I think modern christianity has come down to a motivational/spiritual ted talk. Which there is nothing bad about. But the question isnt, what can He do for us. It is what can we do for Him. I think it makes a lot of sense
@@alexandrameister4148 that is because Christianity is nothing but conversions. They feel if they put more emotions into what they are preaching people will believe it. It just another mechanism they use to get us to their false God. It doesn't work. The church is getting smaller less and less Americans are going to church in this country. My grandmother is a pastor and her church only has 6 people there. Idk how she is able to keep it open and going. It is a battle for me to keep her unknowingly evil prayers off of me.
Humans need not God Almighty Allah. What ever God Almighty wants from us it is for our benefit. If we do everything He wants it only makes us better people, but it does not increase or decrease anything in His dominion. To say God needs means God lacks, and to say God Almighty lacks means disbelief. If you work for God Almighty day and night, the question is have you increased in His attributes? The answer is no! He is still The All Merciful. If you are ungrateful day and night, the question is have you decrease from His attributes? The answer is no! He is still The Severe Punisher. If you truly want to know about God Almighty don't ask rabbi or priest, rather find out from the Qur'ãn.
As a Roman Catholic I found this extremely enlightening... I have never ever heard anyone say God needs us. It makes perfect sense... The Rabbi's logic was lock tight and I will carry his words in my mind till the day I die.... Thank you wise old man... God Bless all...

It means that you have been only absorbing doctrine and not analysing and processing the information handed down to you. This rabbi has not done anything extraordinary other than to take an analytical approach to teachings. This conclusion is a very obvious one when you do that
@@sophitsa79 hmmm maybe but probably not. The condescendtion in your comment is extroidinary for you to presume what I know or dont know is incredible.
@@vinrico6704 I presume that you're an adult not an adolescent. If you're an adolescent I could understand that you hadn't gone through that kind of analysis. But if you're an adult, sorry but you've got some catching up to do. I don't see this in any kind of competition against you I just simply say this as fact and encouragement to you to think more analytically
as a Muslim this was really good to hear i also agree its better to serve than being served, we all should serve God without expecting anything in return.👌
as a muslim bro we shouldn't agree with what he said because Alah said in the quran : "وَمَا خَلَقۡتُ ٱلۡجِنَّ وَٱلۡإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعۡبُدُونِ (56) مَاۤ أُرِيدُ مِنۡهُم مِّن رِّزۡقࣲ وَمَاۤ أُرِيدُ أَن يُطۡعِمُونِ (57) إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلرَّزَّاقُ ذُو ٱلۡقُوَّةِ ٱلۡمَتِينُ (58)" "I did not create jinn and humans except to worship Me.(56)I seek no provision from them, nor do I need them to feed Me.(57)Indeed, Allah ˹alone˺ is the Supreme Provider-Lord of all Power, Ever Mighty.(58)'" and we don't workship God all mighty only for 1 reason ,but we do actualy as muslims for many reasons all of them are related with His attributs Glory is He ,Alah sub^Hanahu wataâala said : "هُوَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِي لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلۡمَلِكُ ٱلۡقُدُّوسُ ٱلسَّلَٰمُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُ ٱلۡمُهَيۡمِنُ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡجَبَّارُ ٱلۡمُتَكَبِّرُۚ سُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يُشۡرِكُونَ" one of them i can say is that He is the One who made everything and that some of His Names are ALKHALI^QU ,ALBARIÛ ,ALMUSAWIR ,ALMUTAKABIRU ,ALÂAZIZU ,ALJABARU ,AL^QAHARU ,,AL^QAWIY ,MALIKA ALMULKI ,ALMALIK ;wich means THE CREATOR ,WHO CREATED EVERYTHING EVEN THE MAIN ELEMENTS AND MADE LIFE WITH THEM, THE DESIGNER ,THE AROGGANT(AROGGANT here is a good thing and it means SUBLIME and SUPREME because if is used to describe a human being, it has an evil negative connotation, simply because such an attribute belongs to God alone Because of What He Is-the other attributs He have-.) ,THE MOST POWERFUL_THE STRONGEST_THE DOMINANT_WHO IS NOT DEFEATED ,etc So WE WORKSHIP HIM BECAUSE HE DESERVE TO BE WORKSHIPED Before Every other reason ,and we hope from Him to Give us Paradise With His Mercy Upon Us because he is ARRA^HMAN ,ARRA^HIM ,wich means THE MOST MERCIFULL WITH EVERYONE and from His Mecry That He is AL^HALIM meaning He Give his servents time to repent and go back to Him and provide them food again and again and again and everything to stay alive Even if they are disbelivers ,and the second one means THE ONE WHO IS SPECIALY MERCIFULL WITH THE BELIVERS 'MUSLIMS(SUBMITERS TO HIM ALONE) and that's why he reward them with paradise not because they deserve it ,but because they did Surrender to His ALL MIGHTY POWER and SURRENDER TO HIM'. So basicly we don't workship God for paradise but paradise is the reward for the people who do workship God ,but we do want paradise and scare from hell fire and Allah's punishment for sure and this is what a muslim is we should stay between hope and scare of Allah Sub^Hanahu wataâla waiting for His Ra^Hma in the yawm al^qiyama (day of judgement) in chaalah may alah makes us from the people of the highest level of paradise 'alfirdaws' amin. AND By the way ALLAH NEEDS NOTHING FROM US ,BUT DESERVE OUR WORSHIP SO we SHOULD HEAR AND OBEY AND DO GOOD THAT HE ORDERED US TO DO.
"Yes! Whosoever earns evil and his sin (that is disbelief, satanism, polytheism) has surrounded him, they are dwellers of the Fire (i.e. Hell); they will dwell therein forever.And those who believe (in Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, they are dwellers of Paradise, they will dwell therein forever."{Surah Al-Bakara:81-82} Here the principle of going to Paradise and hell is described against the claim of the Jews.
ALLAH say, “(O Prophet!) Say (to pagans/disbelievers), I am a human being like you, (but because of being possessive of divine excellence & divine capability) it is revealed to me that my GOD and your GOD is only one, The unique GOD. Therefore, let him/her who hopes to meet his Lord (in the Hereafter) should do good deeds, and do not associate anyone in worship of his Lord."( AL-Quran chapter 18, last verse (110) of Surah Al-Kahf) And for the people of Paradise, the greatest blessing of Paradise will be the happiest when the people of Paradise will meet their LORD ALLAH (in the Hereafter) according to the promise.
I’m a Christian but I like listening to the Rabbi. He brings so much clarity to the Old Testament. Also, Christianity is about service as well. To serve God and people. We are all called to serve. The apostle Paul said it best. “To live is to serve to die is gain”.
There is no acts of service in Christianity, only faith. Judaism is act based. Everything you do or dont do, as commanded from above, is an act of service to the Lord.
Its following His commandments If you LOVE thy neighbor such as yourselves, there would be no wars. But God already told us how it ends. "THEY" are on the wide road of damnation. Faith IN the LORD and with the Lord, and BY the Lord is the only way. No one gets to Father unless they Go through Christ. He IS the narrow Gate. No stumbling blocks of Iniquities HERE and HE will be revealed! Glory to the Lord! Faith!
This reminds me of the way Levinas describes the ethical relationship: “after you”. “After you” sums up how we should approach the other person. Not what should I do to benefit myself - or what I should do to not get punished. But what should I do for you.

WE ALL NEED GOD! DEEP DOWN IN ALL OUR CORE BEING! WE ALL NEED GOD, AND NOTHING ELSE CAN FILL THAT VOID IN OUR HEART! HE BRINGS THE HOPE, IN A HOPELESS WORLD! SO IN THESE LAST DAYS, WE SHOULD ALL REACH OUT TO GOD! HE IS OUR COMFORT AND LOVE! HE CARES, WHEN THE WORLD DOES NOT! THANK YOU GOD! I LOVE YOU! THANKYOU FOR EVERYTHING! MAY GOD BRING YOU COMFORT IN THESE END TIMES!

What morality do you mean? There are different moralities. Who is going to teach these "moralities?" A "priestly" sect? That hasn't worked out too well. I understand your point and your good intention though. When you start teaching people morality you got to be careful or you get a Hitler type. Now, what morality do we teach then? I don't know, but Humans are primitive beings and are hard-wired to be primitive at this stage in our development, so we are in and have been on a BIG Ride to be Excellent with each other. I hope at a certain stage in our development you won't need to teach people how to behave or what to do, reminds me of a John Lennon song.
There was one but Marxism aka secular Judaism send it to the garbage can and its waging war against humanity world wide....keep your religion leave the people of the world lone.
In whose Book Record there is only sin and sin; That is, the disbelief and shirk, (due to their unbelief, their good deeds and good conduct will not be of any benefit to them), they will be immersed in the eternal hell, and those who will be rewarded for the faith and good deeds, they will be in Paradise. And if a believer is a sinner, his case will be in ALLAH's favor, if he so wishes, then he will forgive him by his grace and mercy, or, as punishment, for some days, in the hell, he will enter Paradise on the recommendation of the Prophet (peace be upon him). And this is proved by many Sahih Hadith and that is the belief of Ahl as-Sunnah.

I work at a supermarket. Today someone asked me for frozen chopped onions. Being Easter the store had sold a lot of food. I looked in 2 places first and couldn't find them. Then, I figured I'd look closer, and I found them. The guy was happy. I told him that he made my day. It's nice to feel useful.
I’m Muslim and I love the way rabbis speak. I find it that Judaism has a much higher standard on who becomes a rabbi because all the ones I’ve seen are very knowledgeable

I don't think that God needs us to do good but rather that He takes pleasure on us doing good because He loves us. It is like when your child does something good. You don't need him (or her) to do this or that but it makes you glad when he does something good.
I don't think "God" cares one way or the other. Why does the Ultimate Super Supreme Being care about or take pleasure in what we do? You are thinking too Human. Try to expand outside that kind of thinking if you can or are willing.
@@MuhammadZubair-js8og , do we really need him? We like the "idea" of God and have set many belief systems around that idea to feel good, but are we kidding ourselves as we do with most things?
@@erichvonmolder9310 honestly, not saying this in a mean way, but I think it's actually your way of thinking that is closed. It's very easy to see the Ultimate Supreme Being as a "statue" unaffectable. It's judaism that comes along to teach that, obviously He's invested in His creation, why on earth (see what I did there) would He make it? Don't want to get into a youtube comments debate here, just take my advice and listen to more of R Friedman, you'll get very deep understanding on this point.
That is correct.. Allah say, you make your mother happy, you make me happy. ʿAbdullāh Ibn ʿAmr Ibn A- ʿĀṣ (raḍī Allāhu ʿanhū) narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Allāh’s pleasure is in pleasing the parents, and Allāh’s displeasure is in displeasing the parents.” (At-Tirmidhī 1899, Ibn Hibbān 429, Al-Ḥākim 4/151, declared ṣaḥīḥ by Al-Albānī)
I'm a Christian,Mike west. I enjoyed hearing this man speak.I myself I do things for people because it was what needed to be done no gratification, satisfaction or reward that way everyone holds thier head up and I payed it forward.
I have to agree with this Rabbi. A Muslim will say God made humans to worship him.He has no needs. In strict terms prayer is is not about asking for ones own good but what God wants of us. At a higher level life's purpose is to submit to God to the degree that one looses oneself in God.
@@davidthechiller9144 A troll because you can't handle to truth.....it is the truth and nothing but the truth and the history of Europe and America back me up. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure out the scam that 'religious minority' supremacist play the game. Rabbi Stephen Wise said it....."Some people call it Marxism. But I call it Judaism." Who is the troll David?? You want to tell me that the Bolshevik revolution in Russia spearheaded by Leon Trotsky, the Bolshevik communist belligerence and declaration of war against Germany WWI, the subjugation of Europe WWII, the subsequent spread of Marxism around the world to supposedly liberate people from Christian colonialism are things made up by trolls? Who is exploiting Black American's and keeping them in the ghetto at the bottom of the barrel to foment hatred against White American's? Who said that Black American's were beast of burden, African's American's are Monkeys? Who is spearheading the flooding of Europe with Muslims and African's because Europe has not yet learn to be Multicultural, yet again exploiting non-white people to wreak havoc on European countries??? I am not even going to talk about the trans-Atlantic slave-trade. Troll is another word used against people who don't swallow the religious supremacist propaganda without question. When the word contradict the actions it becomes a civic duty to question.
Always blaming Muslims.....Christians and Jews are so holy but the go around the world waging war against humanity with impunity. Judaism "We are god chosen people and the world needs to worship us" is people worship but you are not allowed to say that. To this day nobody can tell me who that god is and he/she/it looks like......people can't because it is a figment of imagination, just like the chosen people, and light onto the nations and the world is a figment of a very dictatorial imagination that is stuck in the dark ages. Religious fundamentalism is not only something of Muslims.
Gershon Adiel hold up there vegan addict, who says God eats anything any way. Now for the serious stuff, God chose many things, don’t get it twisted. Example he chose the the lower realm of Dunya to be the inhabited by Adam and his family aka human being. God chose one way of life to be the most superior way to live, and God chose Men to be his messengers, and he appointed opponents for his Messengers to Triumph over. He also chose one man to be his final messengers to all of his creations no exceptions not even the angels. It was said that God created this One Special Man and from/for him created all things. So it’s a good question about the holy site of Jerusalem, but it’s value does not supersede the blood of a innocent, So every drop your cause only increase the weight on the scales of judgement. to sum it up the good children of Ibrahim were chosen and there is a qualification requirement your rabbis conveniently denies. It’s like this imagine a well groomed child who is told all his life growing up he is the best even though he screwed up a lot, and when the day came to test him in front of he kingdom, the only thing he brought was arrogance, so the judge told him he was unfit to lead, and the grown was taken from him, and given to the one who is worthy of it. So your right the bitter Jews and the imposters were chosen be the final boom to end history. So any who are stubborn to see beyond the grooming will fail miserably. No intentional offence here just historical deduction. So easy with the salad Goyum

Why would ALLAH allow someone from his creatures into paradise who will arrogantly show Intense hatreds towards his (own creator or) GOD’s will and commandments therein?

Judaism - GOD is not a man Christianity - GOD becomes a Man Islam - There is nothing in creation like GOD You decide what is similar and which ones stands out.
Islam says God is not a man in respond the the christians and it says there is nothing in creation like God thats also in the old testament and you cannot deny this. "In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate. Say (O Muhammad) He is God the One God, the Everlasting Refuge, who has not begotten, nor has been begotten, and equal to Him is not anyone." its say clearly God is one he is the everlasting refue he was not begotten .ie man and nothing equal to him. When it comes to ones of God islam and Judaism are like the 2 fingers only christianity have taken a different route.
Judaism - The Law is a gift that we can't follow. Christianity - God bridges the gap between his perfection and our sin. Islam - Subjugate the entire world.
Itachi Uchiha what do you mean "stand out"? Ok in Islam God is nothing like Creation, Chtistians know and believe this as well, what's your point? Nobody has seen God , anyways. So, all you need to know is that He loves you, He created you. He is approachable. Did he took the form of Man in Jesus? Well, even Jesus when was teaching men how to pray said: we pray to our Father that is in Heaven... Troughout the whole Bible , it is said we access God through the blood of Jesus Christ. Is Jesus God? Maybe Maybe not. One day we would know for sure. Nobody has said literally that God is a man. One thing for sure HE CREATED US TO HIS IMAGE. It says so in the Bible. Who is who to contradict the Word of God? NO ONE. Plus, we can believe whatever we want, He gave us freewill, but the truth is only ONE.

@@AbdulAllaH7 If God doesn’t need, then why does He create? If He only needed one galaxy, then why would He need to create infinite galaxy’s? If God didn’t need, then why did He want us to multiply? For ourselves? God wants, therefore He commands. Which means God needs. His needs must be met. If God didn’t need, He would have not created anything. The Creator doesn’t lack because He is a creator. If He needs, He creates. Therefore, God cannot lack. As for the rabbi? God Himself commanded that only one tribe has the authority to be our ministers. Proof? Deuteronomy 18:5 “For Adonai your God has chosen him out of all your tribes to stand and minister in the name of YHVH, him and his sons forever.” Where does it say to listen to Ishmael and his descendants? This is found in the Jewish Scriptures [Torah].
I don't understand why you couldn't attain that level of humility, kindness and service without believing that God is somehow in "need". Indeed the Creator of the Heavens and beyond is free of all need. It is of no significance to Him whether we follow His commandments, but indeed it for our personal and collective good both in THIS existence AND the afterlife with man's defining characteristic being free will.
I can't say that I've ever chosen a religion for the destination, but I know it happens all the time with people. A lot of people, depending on where they're from in the world, are simply born into a religion. But, going back to what was said, the whole destination and reward concept is a good way for "religious leaders" to manipulate people into servitude.

In whose Book Record there is only sin and sin; That is, the disbelief and shirk, (due to their unbelief, their good deeds and good conduct will not be of any benefit to them), they will be immersed in the eternal hell, and those who will be rewarded for the faith and good deeds, they will be in Paradise. And if a believer is a sinner, his case will be in ALLAH's favor, if he so wishes, then he will forgive him by his grace and mercy, or, as punishment, for some days, in the hell, he will enter Paradise on the recommendation of the Prophet (peace be upon him). And this is proved by many Sahih Hadith and that is the belief of Ahl as-Sunnah.
Humans need not God Almighty Allah. What ever God Almighty wants from us it is for our benefit. If we do everything He wants it only makes us better people, but it does not increase or decrease anything in His dominion. To say God needs means God lacks, and to say God Almighty lacks means disbelief. If you work for God Almighty day and night, the question is have you increased in His attributes? The answer is no! He is still The All Merciful. If you are ungrateful day and night, the question is have you decrease from His attributes? The answer is no! He is still The Severe Punisher. If you truly want to know about God Almighty don't ask rabbi or priest, rather find out from the Qur'ãn.
That was beautifully put. We get so caught up with me, me, me and we should be asking what do you need. Can I help. Thank you. I wish the whole world had that kind of mindset, what a beautiful world it would be.
God is needless! It simply Pleased Him to Create Creation out of Goodness for Goodness’ sake. He Created us to give us the opportunity to choose through Divine Inspiration to be creatively good for goodness’ sake. He didn’t have to! He Chose to for His own Pleasure. God is Greatest not just because of his Omnipotence But also because of All that He Chose to do and continues to do for All of His Creation WHITHOUT any need whatsoever of His Own! Simple! Shalom, Peace, Salam 😊

ALLAH say, “(O Prophet!) Say (to pagans/disbelievers), I am a human being like you, (but because of being possessive of divine excellence & divine capability) it is revealed to me that my GOD and your GOD is only one, The unique GOD. Therefore, let him/her who hopes to meet his Lord (in the Hereafter) should do good deeds, and do not associate anyone in worship of his Lord."( AL-Quran chapter 18, last verse (110) of Surah Al-Kahf) And for the people of Paradise, the greatest blessing of Paradise will be the happiest when the people of Paradise will meet their LORD ALLAH (in the Hereafter) according to the promise.
I am a beleiving christian, but i cant understand the fact that his lectures makes more sense then all the stuff i have heard so far from the new testament. Its making my head go crazy tbh. Because the logic he describes makes so much sense, my beleive in the new testament is starting to shake so much Can someone please elaborate to me, why ? The stuff ive heard so far from his 2 videos, made more sense then the last year watching christians explain the gospel to me, and explaining the existential stuff. I was unable to accept the fact that i got created with a burden to begin with, and it was my fault. It makes me cry from the inside hearing every sunday, that the sins we do are our own fault, and makes you deserve hell. Please can someone explain to me why this simple video just shakes that whole christian beleif system. I pray to God every day for clarity regarding the subjects i struggle with. And suddenly this Rabbi shows up on my feed, filling all the gaps in my heart about the questions i had.
Dude, its not what he needs. Its what he wants from you to become a serious, satisfied and/or blessed person. This implies your point on serving him and others because therefor is no need for a better place. Yeah, i like that. Like your ATM example as well.
Thank you Rabbie for another wounderful . I thought that I would treat myself on Mother’s Day by going out of My way to listen to one of your talks on Tanya. In SF read I was guided to this one as nd boy am I ever happy that I did😓😘😘👍
Muslims also believe that we were created to worship God Almighty, the one and only. Quran 51:56 "And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me." قال تعالى : ( وما خلقت الإنس والجن إلا ليعبدون ) ... سورة الذاريات آية 56
Quran...Ibrahim 14:8 And Moses said, "If you should disbelieve, you and whoever is on the earth entirely - indeed, Allah is Free of need and Praiseworthy."
Then why he needed to create the entire creation in the first beginning??? What make Allah (God) motivation to create what we know as the universe itself? Islam as Christians their wisdom and literature lacks from a lot of knowledge, I thank HaShem he created me as a Jew!
@@danielzarate5799 He does not "decide". The problem is you like to describe God in human terms. The idea of beginning and ending is not applicable to God.
To help some one give me immense pleasure.! But most of the people take advantages in that. They feel like im a fool. Im people pleaser. They don't know that im gaining a inner happiness, a big smile, a health improving medicine.!! Ever i had listened to your kind speech, i am getting happiness and more knowledge about purpose of life.! Thank you so much Sir!!
O children of Israel! Just recall to mind My favour wherewith I blessed you. fulfil your covenant with Me and I shall fulfil My covenant with you, and fear Me alone.
ALLAH SWT is Judging who among us is best in action, so striving for the best Judgement about us is our need which makes our practicality/ pragmatism Purposeful.
Enlightened are not bound by religion, I am a Muslim by birth & a sufi by practice, so I love and listen all, this man is speaking Quran Ayya unknowingly

@@mysteriousx3258 Not " human God "... In Christianity it is just the divin Word which is humanised -- REMAINING DIVIN AND ETERNAL -- in order to unite the created human with the Eternity, God.

So true! The nicest, kindest people I’ve met are Jews. Jewish communities are the best! If anyone hasn’t experienced being within a Jewish community, I highly encourage it. They’re such wonderful people. All the time I go I always feel God’s love.
Our Supreme TRUE GOD command all the people of the world to be united through believing in only one (same) GOD (unseen) without associating any partner with him. And ALLAH command us to enjoin goods, and forbid evil by following only his guidance (laws and commandments) in order to meet the GOD in paradise. Does that bring peace for the world?
Wow! Thank you for this amazing view of life. I will from now on more focus and ask what I can do for him and what I can do for my family, neighbours and even strangers instead of thinking what they could do for me. Thats almost like a relief from the desire of receiving! 🚀♥️

@@AbdulAllaH7 funny lol, first of all my comment was referring to the fact that I’ve always thought what’s better than being alive, what’s wrong with just being on earth with family/friends, that’s fine for me I don’t need to go anywhere else, there isn’t a ‘better place’😂 second of all, in the world we know if someone creates something, they NEED it to fulfil the purpose it was intended for when created 🧐 to believe in G-d is to believe he created us, regardless of him being perfect before our existence, he still created us, meaning he needs us for something, otherwise he would of just made a bunch of clones with no free will🥲 no matter what our actions may be , good or evil, it’s all contributing towards his divine plan🥲 saying G-d needs us doesn’t mean he lacks anything, he can’t lack, he has no limit.. G-d can’t be stupid right? Stupid is to lack intelligence.. but what G-d can’t do something?? Is what you’d say 😂 but you’re missing the fact that not everything is a positive, G-d has no limit, being human is a limitation for G-d, he’s above creation 🥲 so we have to do for him here while he’s watching over us no? And when we fulfil what needs to be done on this lowest world the most high can dwell here (the lowest point on earth, being israel the Dead Sea) and truly be ONE, at the top of creation and at the lowest point. My third point is gonna be that Torah came before your beloved Quran, your religion relies on the Jews faith and the story of Abraham Isaac and Ya’aqov, so don’t go on like your Quran is better or something 🤦🏽♂️🤣 if you guys wanna pray to stones in Mecca and kiss it up you do you🥲 comes a lot like the temple of Artemis/Diana at Ephesus, where they used to pray to a stone that fell from Jupiter saying ‘Diana is great’ 🤦🏽♂️
What may I do for you, my Lord? Pick up my cross! Spread Thy Word of good news and love my Brothers and Sistets and Praise Thee! Thank you Lord for being! You give mening, Hope and Joy in to our lifes,. I Hope, I bring love, light and salt to Thee! Dear Rabbi you are doing, what God needs for you to do, sharing your Faith with me as God intented ❤️ God Bless and keep Israel forever! Shalom from Denmark
Allah is perfect in all his attributes, he does not need anything from his creation but by serving Allah we are simply benefiting our earthly and afterlife. Of course, afterlife is better, because we in a different dimension and existence, will be with our creator :)
The real God is Self sustaining and self sufficient. The moment he wants something from us he may become dependent on us. It is how we interact among ourselves which is more important for the creator. For example how the Palestinians are suffering in the eyes of the whole world and no one can do anything for them, This should be a concern for God. Believing in the same God and praying to the same God and yet so much hatred and intolerance among groups of people cannot be a pleasure for God. If you want to please God then do justice to the people around you.............
I just watched this in HD, I can see the books titles now. I need access to that Library. Please, please, please. Not sure if a Public Library, but our Judaica section at ours is kind of... Well I cannot complain honestly, It has the Tikkunei Zohar. And some dictionaries.
The soul eventually returns to where it comes from. To know where the souls goes you need to know where it came from. All human souls are little tiny pieces of the One.
I read all the comments here and so many are missing the piont. A Father needs his children , he might have everything but without his children his nothing. Of course God needs us , like a father needs his children.
Happy are those who had Rabbi Manis Friedman as a teaching mentor; I wish I did. That said, I'd like to add one clarification from the far side about the expression "He's in a better place now." Catholics and many other Christians recognize three states in the Church (n.b. a church is a building): suffering, militant and triumphant. The Suffering Church consists of the departed who are shedding every attachment that turned them away from God. The Church Militant consists of those who actively seek to do God's Will and sing His praise, the good stuff for Rabbi Friedman. Finally, the Triumphant Church consists of those departed who have reached their destination and are fully facing God. Since no one is without sin, "He's in a better place now" is a gentle way to reassure those grieving that the departed was already traveling in the right direction, and his an encouragement to forgive any misdeed unatoned or any grudge not forgotten. The only good place to be, on Earth or in Heaven, is who God planned us to be.
Rabbi Manis I loveto hear you teach. By the way I ama monotheistic jewish woman. My mother and father. Both Levites.Your teachingshave so much meaning. Thanks!
This was very good to listen to. As a Christian, I both agree and disagree with your view on Christianity. I would say most Christians are concerned the most about the destination of simply getting to heaven when they die. But, there are others like myself that don't see that as the end all be all of the faith. It is to have the joy of loving YHWH and knowing the love of His Son and using that love to love and serve others just as our Savior did. Real Christianity in itself before the Roman Empire got ahold of it was never supposed to be a religion.
I enjoy listening to Rabbi Manis, receiving insight on spiritual matters and become educated in regards to the Jewish faith. But, it's very clear that he and I have differing views regarding the purpose of life on the earth and our role in the "afterlife". "Nothing better than being alive" he says........"You can do something for the Creator." Imagine being sinless and serving God for eternity. I'm ready to escape this flesh whenever God choses to take me.
as an orthodox christian i can say that phrase "what can I do for You?" directed to the God sounds overweening because God can live without my service. It is me who cannot live without God.

My friends say I have a Jewish Spirit. I agree with this Rabbi. I tell Christians and others that we shouldn’t think about how our lives are when we think of HIM. Why? Bereshit bara Elohim, et ha-shamaiyim veg et ha-arretz. I try to be righteous to be righteous (not to go to Heaven). The Creator gave us life (Jews and Non-Jews) therefore even if HE didn’t like me, I’d still do my best. Why? HE created the heavens and the earth!
ALLAH say, “(O Prophet!) Say (to pagans/disbelievers), I am a human being like you, (but because of being possessive of divine excellence & divine capability) it is revealed to me that my GOD and your GOD is only one, The unique GOD. Therefore, let him/her who hopes to meet his Lord (in the Hereafter) should do good deeds, and do not associate anyone in worship of his Lord."( AL-Quran chapter 18, last verse (110) of Surah Al-Kahf) And for the people of Paradise, the greatest blessing of Paradise will be the happiest when the people of Paradise will meet their LORD ALLAH (in the Hereafter) according to the promise.
We're servents of Elohim and wants to serve him❤️, I'm a Muslim and i want to tell Rabbi that this is not only judsiam which teaches to serve God rather than want to be served, the word Muslim by definition means the one who "submitted himself to God"
Hahahahaha,.....you just have to pay attention to the the apartheid, cruelty, inhumanity corruption, violence and oppression with impunity and exploitation of people by the morally superior "religious" minority in New York and it tells you much what god needs....
This Rabi makes God the bad guy and the devil the good guy an Angel and a bystander who did nothing ....This Rabi is here and now to bring in the Antichrist man for those Pharisee Jews who rejected Him and put Him on the Cross..beware for He is doing the Devil's work who is the father of all lies.
If God needs something, He'll ask. If God doesn't ask, we're still here. As far as myself here, eternity would be a rather boring place without stories to share. So why are we here? Because we are, stories included.
What GOD wants is in first commandment to love your God with all your heart and soul! How do you know you're not going to be doing service for God in heaven?🤗
Why would ALLAH allow someone from his creatures into paradise who will arrogantly show Intense hatreds towards his (own creator or) GOD’s will and commandments therein? [7:13] (ALLAH) said: "(O Iblis satan) get down from this (Paradise), it is not for you to be arrogant here. Get out, for you are of those humiliated and disgraced." Surat Al-'A`raf, the previous verse 7:12 : (ALLAH) said: "What prevented you (O Iblis) that you did not prostrate, when I commanded you?" Iblis said: "I am better than him (Adam), You created me from fire, and him You created from clay."
@@Truth_come_to_perish_falsehood He said get down, and shortly later in the story, Iblis is back in paradise tempting Adam? What happened? Doesn't Iblis obey your god? Secondly, why was he mad at Iblis? The angels doubted your god (verse 30 of the chapter of al-Baqara) so he called them to prostrate. Then later in the surah we learn... "And when We said unto the angels: Prostrate yourselves before Adam, they fell prostrate, all save Iblis. He demurred through pride, and so became a disbeliever. " (Surah: Al-Baqara, verse:34) He commanded the ANGELS. If a principal says, "All students must leave the classroom!" and the teacher stays, should she be fired? Who forgot that Iblis was not an angel, Muhammad or his god? Or did one of them forget or simply choose not to explain the whole story?
Hello I have been studing mystical knowledge for a while now about 5 to 6 years. And I find myself attracted to Kabbalah and mystical Judaism. I've been listening to your videos and they are very informative thank you. But this video came as a shock to me. Because last week I called a Chabad to ask if a non-jewish person could visit and learn more .. And I was completely shot down and told the only Jews are allowed in the chabad. These were the words exactly of the lady who picked up the phone. Why would you want to come to a Chabad if you're not Jewish? To me Judaism is not only by Blood is to want or to need or desire To know the Creator and to have the wisdom to understand his plan and will for our lives. If there is a Chabad in Tampa Fl that is willing to share their knowing with a non Jewish human being. Please let me know. Thank you..
Hello, so they might of taught u wanted to convert and they have to turn u down few times before accepting u to be sure u are sincerse , since there is really no need for someone to convert , all Chabad houses are very welcoming and open places that accept Jews and non Jews alike , if u say u interesting in converting u will be turned down few times , u can try again or try another Chabad , all the best and good luck in learning abt God

The definition of God as a perfect being is the entity that is perfect and full in itself, that which doesn't need anything. Rabbi, God does not need. Need is strictly condition of "created" not Creator. What kind of talmudic, over-streching interpretation is to say The God needs.....?
