The Hebrew word for 'Egypt' contains an EPIC secret 

A special Shabbat Shalom for Shabbat Hagadol to all fellow members of the tribe, your family, friends and community. Blessings to all.

Dear Rabbi Friedman and team, I would like to express my great gratitude that you have been inserting explanations for Yiddish words/expressions for some time now. This makes learning - surely not only mine - so much easier, especially when one follows you from a non-English speaking country and does not always understand the words well. Please keep going, your teaching has been life changing for me.

Beautiful powerful.." don't make it personal" Make it Godly" ...

A wonderful and joyous Saturday to all non-Jews, your family, friends and community. Blessings to all.

B"H 44 years I listen & re-listen many times the talks of Rabbi Manis Friedman.Each time, even over the many decades. I get more since I LIVED more and applied the teachings.That is the Living Torah.

Rabbi Manis is it so true what you said. Some people have strong trauma and it will be nice if they can fallow your advice. May Hashem lead you for ever. Amen. Good Shabbas you and your Family.

I feel like this video was made just for me because it explains everything I'm going through but I know alot of people will relate to it. I was feeling really confused this morning, having no purpose to achieve anything positive and then I went on RU-vid and Rabbi Manis was the first person I saw and I clicked on the video.. wow the words changed my life, especially the point where he said we are in no direct danger but yet we live in trauma.. it's important to let go of the things which really do not matter at all and live a positive life for God. It is a choice. There is a switch to the light and Manis turned it on for me. Amenעמן love you brother

Thank you Rabbi. One of the best messages ever on this Passover!

A special Shabbat Shalom for Shabbat Hagadol to you Rabbi Friedman, the Rebbetzin, your family, friends and community. Blessings to all.

Thank you Rabbi for a great talk and message.

Rabbi I always thought we were truly free when we walked across The Red Sea. G-d split the Red Sea for us and after we walked through then we were truly free. G-d bless.

Thank you sir. I am a non- Jewish Christian. You are so right about what is wrong today. For decades we are told to focus on ourselves, we have made a generation or two of weak people who can’t take the things in life that come their way and move on. People seem to need counseling for every small insult. We all were created for a purpose and that is to serve our God. We have forgotten how to serve. Thank you again and Shalom.

You have no idea how this has made my eyes open to something God has been trying to teach me. May God bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you and give you peace.

God richly bless Rabbi Friedman...

Thank you Rabbi Friedman. The words you shared sound like answers indeed. I think I need to help some loved ones to get back on the horse before they lose confidence to even stand on their own feet. God bless you and lead you always.

Shabbat Shalom Rabbi. Thank you for your beautiful lesson. The truth of your words is as clear as day to me. Having survived more than one life threatening experience, I know all too well the power of turning outward versus turning inward.

Thank you so much for sharing what God has revealed to you through His Word.

Beautifully articulated. Today is good Friday where I stay and this talk was informative and enjoyable. Thank you 😊.

Thank you Rabbi. This is for me the most powerful message of freedom!

Amen. Rabbi, the last time I read the Exodus account, I did take note that G_d extracted Israel out of Egypt with a mighty hand, because He had a work for His servant Jacob to do. In other words, Israel's descendants had a purpose, and they were needed in order to fulfill that purpose. Thank you for the important reminder and Jewish insights, that we were made for a purpose! That our entire lives should be devoted to whatever that purpose is meant to be. Shabbat Shalom and Chag Sameach from New Zealand.

Thank you Rabbi. I'm a filipina being blessed by your wisdom.

This is so awesome! Although, i do see alot of traumatized people who were raised by toxic alcoholic people and childhood sexually abused people. So, i do think there is more legitimate trauma today...however i agree that we wont heal by focusing on the self.

Correct, we need a different therapy. We need more RMF 👍 So much well grounded wisdom. This is so what kids and so many adults need these days. The forgotten, well grounded wisdom that seems to flow like a forever crisp beautiful stream, video after video, from our RMF 🤟

👏🏻🙏🇦🇺 Don’t make it personal make it Godly. Love it.

I like how you told us to look at the whole sentence... not just "Let my people go..." but the remainder. So that Gods people can serve God. Really like this.

Thank You, for this meeting of souls. I Love the Don't Stop In The Middle

This was very helpful especially talking about trauma

another fabulous lesson, thank you Rabbi. I've come to realize how dangerous self idolatry really is for a soul.

Thank you Rabbi Friedman 💪🙂🙏 Wish you and everybody a great Shabbes!! ✡️🙏♥️🔥🍷🎶

Wonderful a message away from standard thinking into plain free life, this gives wings. Thank you so much. Shalom.

Trauma is the injury that we do not recover from because the self focuses on its needs instead of its responsibilities, now that we are not under threat.

Peace and prayers go out to everyone, Stay safe and keep on watching

I am blessed ❤️🙏🙏🙏Rabbi, I love your teaching, they are deep and rich.

Exactly what I've been going through. And I know to much arrention on myself, and it does seem like it's trauma. I am getting back up. Real tough few hour's. Thankyou so much Rabbi.

Thank you Rabbi this is quite insightful, especially for me as I'm in the middle of a book on Israelites and their connections to Egypt. The result of my research so far agrees with your assessment that the Biblical account of Israelites being slaves in Egypt wasn't physical one but spiritual.

This was my approach for many years - ignore the pain and look to serve. I'm confused now because I feel I've gotten slapped for everything good I've tried to do. People are funny, make them lunch and they will grumble at good things. Give them art and they will scowl at beauty. Speak deeply and it will be rubbish in the wind. I find much solace now in sad songs and holding the hand of my little daughter. Everywhere it seems that people want gusto and optimism, but why not slower, why not somber, why ignore the grief and the sorrows? Instead grief and shame are unfelt, wounds and relatives left unburied, unclaimed. Do the tears ever fall? There is no love without tears. Sensitivity is a gift of compassion, Sorrow a summit of empathy. The scars drip and ooze, but ---; buck up boy; keep on keeping on, keep up, don't tell me all that sad shlop. Count your blessings and get back in that hole and work.--- We need true companionship - the friend to bear our greif with, and to hold the tender trauma of others. A less stoic age, an age of sorrow. We are here to love and bind up the wounds

Such revelation thank you for your insightful teaching Rebbe

Rabbi, I love your lectures!

Blessings to you all. I am learning from you Rabbi ,thznk you so much.

Thank you!

Toda Rabbi for deeply truthful teaching ... shalom

a fitting message for the world today in this Passover season. thank you Rabbi.

Absolutely, thank you Rabbi.

Thank you

14:11 thank you, exactly

Always a new and fascinating perspective

One would like to hear more about fasting. And how does one truly liberate themselves from secular society?

I agree "our needs" sometimes these "needs" get us into big trouble. It's all about the feelings..lets focus on Torah. Not our needs.

Egypt = restriction. Love the picture language of Hebrew. Thank you.

Thank you for changing my life !

Wow Thank You for so much Wisdom

Life means "Challenge" To be valuable is key.

Baruch Hashem🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️😇😇😇😇

Excellent guru ji❤

Merci..great and true words..😁🤩🤗😏👏👏👏❣🥳😎

Self-image, think about that, it is only an image! Something I believe and imagine to be, and who suffers is that image.

We believe when we're young. Wisdom comes from understanding.

Thank you This teaching has helped me understand much about my purpose.

I once heard the African Americans fit the Bible more than European Jewry do. Deuteronomy 28:15-68 fit them to the teeth. And they also say obviously Egyptians during that time were black and Moses passed as one of their own so he must of been black. They also said that European Jewry should stop claiming their heritage as if they were black Egyptian racial African like the ancient Hebrew were.

Thank you rabbi so much

Thank you, Reb Friedman. ❤

Thank you Rabbi!!!

I very much appreciate your posts. Thank you Rabbi, so much good advise!

תודה רבה!

You are SO right

Shalom! Thank you for your wisdom ❤

How impactful was the Babylonian captivity in compassion to the Egyptian experience?

From the bottom to the top - keep looking up and reaching out as HASHEM is looking down and reaching up...., TRUTH TRUTH the WHOLE TRUTH sets you free.

Awesome Rabbi Friedman !

Rabbi, It’s interesting to me that in order for the children of Israel to come out of Egypt, restriction, that there had to be the death of a lamb.

Thank you rabbi

Through enjoyment from this. Thnkt you l'chaim. Amen blessed passover

So it’s just happenstance that Mitzra was a son of Khem and that the ‘people of Mitzra’ (Mitzra•im) isn’t what it means? ..and didn’t HaYashar state that it was Moses going toe to toe with Pharaoh over a 2 year span? Or am I misremembering? Thanks👍🏼

"....you might be hurt, but you were not traumatized...."! Have You sometimes driven a car following the GPS-navigator? As soon as You by any reason go off its course, it will show You how to find Your destination from where You are now! Nothing about how and why You got off course - no chewing on that - it was Your destination You were heading towards - and THAT is the issue right now, especially when You get off course.

Well said!

Thank you for this teaching and thanks to HaShem.

I can't believe how humans have fought all these wars in the name of religion when it's the same higher power all religions worship. When I was 6 I remember thinking, what ignorance has been allowed power, I wanted to go back to the light when I saw the violence on the TV.

I do not agree that psychology is the source of the problem. The problem is “popular psychology” way of throwing in complex concepts in the everyday language.

Thank you Mr Rabbi.

Blessed are those who come out of their daily pursuit of money and their enslavement to the dead works of the world.

Some people like being employees, employed is clearly not slavery, although if a boss is treated as an employee then that is equivalent to slavery.

what are some of creative and productive things God told us to do?

Thank you shalom.

Excellent!

Thank you thank you.

Thank you,I very much enjoy your videos💯😁

Thank you so much

Yiddish is not Jewish, but they borrowed things from Jewish culture because they came from some else. They were expelled from somewhere else but not Egypt, not Israel. The truth of some of this things are beginning to come out

Ty! Rabbi.

Thanks for your wisdom.

Thank you god.🌸💜🌸

Amein, i don't embrace any religions anymore, this is my passover this year!

Another nudge from The Lord. This selfish place I've been in, really since chidlhood, has to be abandoned. The true casting-off of confinement is the leaving of self to serve others. It's tough, especially since everything in the culture today is all about catering to self. Thank you, Rabbi.

Thank you, Sir.

One problem for me is that the social security and the tax office excluded me literally as if I ceased to be, now they course me into joining with them, to me this is unacceptable, my nickname is not YoYo. I deserve an apology at first and some acknowledgement of their mistake.

The Hebrew word for Egypt is מצרים mitsrayim pronounced meets-rah-yeem has it's first occurrence of this name is in Genesis 10:6 - The descendants of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan (Hebrew Bible) Mizraim is the grandson of Noah, he settled in the land that came to be known as Mitsrayim to the Hebrews in English language it's Egypt The root to this name is צר (tsar Strong's meaning "pressed in" and can be translated several different ways; "enemy" as one who presses in; "trouble" A common method of forming nouns is to add the letter "mem" to the front of a root. In this case the "mem" is placed before the root forming the noun מצר (metsar Strong The prefixed "mem" can be understood as "what is ect. ", hence metsar means "what is pressed in" and is usually translated as trouble or straits. The suffix of the name mitsrayim is the masculine plural suffix ים. The normal pronunciation for this suffix is eeym, usually a multiple plural, but can also be yeem and is the double plural as in the name mitsrayim. The name mitsrayim can be interpreted many different ways; two straits (possibly referring to the two sides of the Nile river), double straits, two enemies, double pressing, or double trouble.

Trauma thwarts the individuals proper senses. It can also halt or diminish greatly the developmental order. Hence there are so many Adult Children. The stress can lead to cancers- among many other ailments in life. Many also become addicted to anything. Many develop a “ false Self” in order to cope with the harsh unsavoury realities of life. The Psyche or “ soul” is paramount over any perceived duty.

A different kind of therapy? Return or turning back unto The most high God who is the Lord. Recognition, confession and forgiveness.

Devolución is in the Spanish constitución is a crime against the human. We all have a right to progress if and if is the word, if we want.

Therapy can switch one golus (exile) for another instead of "freeing" the patient.
