What does a "MENSCH" mean? - Jewish SLANG exposed 

Thank you Rabbi Friedman ✡️🙏♥️🔥 Wishing you and all here a great day!! 💪🙂✌️

I learned my Yiddish from the little rabbi doll called "The Mensch on the Bench. " Lol. I know much more of Hebrew than of Yiddish but I love to hear Yiddish songs.

Thank you to the IGTK team.

Thank you Rabbi!!!

Thank you! Great talk!

I am a Mensch. I give everything I got to Other`s. I am always the last in line. Always thinking of Other`s. I am most happiest there. I am a Giver, not a Taker. I am not Selfish at all. I work on Other`s behalves. This is probably why everything is really mine. It is because of my behaviors and my offerings to the God`s.

Thank you Rabbi Friedman.

Thus relates to the idea of “no self” or “ego self” in Buddhism 😊

Thank you

Thank you for your wisdom ❤

Liked your comments on good kid bad kid either verbal cues can backfire creating bad boy/bad girl self fulfilling identies on the opposing side good girl/good boy can create a vacuum they can never be good enough❤thanks good points

A good self-image means you know you have problems. A bad self-image means you don't have an image to see. Which is better; to be selfless or to be humble?

It wouldn't be a truly Jewish congregation if there wasn't a little heckling. It's called we do a little trolling to the Rabbi.

I thought the question was, " What is a mensch?"

according to the Explanation of the Circumstance, in which ''Mensch'' was used, almost as an Ajective, this might correspond to ''menschlich'', and Ajective, in German, ''human'', as a ''compassionate Individual'', that is different than the ''Compassion'' shown by a ''Buddha'' or a ''Meshiach'', just to make it clear, but, it is a ''compassionate Attitude'' toward someone, that shows to experience some Difficulty and thereafter would need, ''some Help'', ''an Hand'', and this is also an Ajective used by Actor Paolo Villaggio, in his Character ''Fantozzi'', italian, a Sort of ''Mister Bean'' of the anglosaxon World, and ''umano'', that is to say ''menschilch'' is in a Sketch of him to describe an otherwise sadistic ''Boss'', that actually ''bosses, bullies'' the own Employees, and whenever that ''Bully'' shows some ''Compassion'' toward an Employee, ''Ragionier Fantozzi'', almost ''Accountant Fantozzi'' for Instance (being ''Fantozzi'' a Family Name), then the Employee would think and say that the ''Boss'', notably a ''Bully'' is a ''Mensch'', despite maybe, the Act that the ''Bully'' performs, can be barely be considered an Act of ''Compassion'', maybe it just mimicks a ''compassionate Deed'', and the ''funny'', let's call it ''Mr Bean's Effect'' lies in the ''illogical'' Fact or occurring Situation (as, it seems, and ''humorous Circumstance'' consists in an ''illogical'' Occurrence, that ''breaks'' the ''normal, habitual'' logical Pattern, of one's Way to think and feel, causing thereafter some ''cathartic'' rational and emotional Action, by the Subject that is subjected to the ''illogical'' Situation itself); anyone can find on-line an Excerpt of any ''Fantozzi's'' Movie, when the Actors pronounces the Words ''com'è umano Lei!'', to the above mentioned, habitual, ''Sadist'', and provided that Today is May 1st, the ''Labourers' Day'', let us remember all those Individuals who are forcibly subjected to ''working Conditions'' that are horrible and terrible, let alone are forced to ''co-work'', that is to say ''function with'', someone who is or are ''sadistic'', and the ''working Environment'' will be based on ''Mobbing'', in Case it is at School or in the Army, based on ''Hazing'', in Case it is at Home, be based on ''moral Harassment, also economical Harassment, be it of social Kind or of financial Kind, or physical Harassment'', and in Case this is publically, across the Streets, be based on ''Bullying'', also ''Hooliganism'', and let us thefore wish for the ''Tiqwn Ölam'', of ''Elhim'', ''G.d the Absolute'', to be actualized, immediately, accompanying this Wish with a consequent Prayer, ''Älenu''. ''Shlom'' to You and ''Strenght or Truth, alchemically united to Good, to generate Beauty'' to All.

Yes!

Very tricky topic because of its complexity, but first of all, because of the confusing or double meaning of vocabulary, perhaps vocabulary should have been addressed first, mainly for those not Jewish. If I understood correctly, mensch means gentleman/good guy. However, there is also a difference between good behavior and good person. Although I consider also true the reinforcement of good behavior, one of its purpose its eventually tranforming the individual to a good person.

Glad I still,have my same old mediocre self image.

I like to talk about Gordon and Lorraine Moore, the Freemason`s Royalty. Lorraine`s maiden name was Minchin, it sounds a lot like Mensch. Both Gordon and Lorraine were very giving Individual`s. They had a daughter, my spouse named Susan, or better known as Susie or Lilith.
