What Does God Want? 

I’m a black dude born and raised in gritty Queens, NY, fully immersed in Hip Hop and American culture and yet this man has my complete attention!

From 11 until 21 years old, I lived a life of badness. Every commandment of G-d I had broken, before I knew what they were. My purpose was being bad. Uneducated: I didn't start to read until I was 15 I lived in fear and hatred. I couldn't communicate with people. I was ashamed of being worthless. Now, I'm in my late 60s, listening to Rabbi Manis Friedman. I understood, and felt, everything he was saying.

I love u Rabbi Manis Friedman. Amjad Izhar Lahore Pakistan.

I am a Muslim. First time listening a Jewish speaker on the subject of Almighty God Allah one and only . talk is comprehensive describing how what right wrong. Here & there etc principles of God combination it is lovely 😊 and deep love to listen you on different subjects related to God 🙏👍

An infinitely lonely God. I love Him, I join Him, we join Him together, the more the better.

I can feel his intimacy during his lecture

Very very very deep, human being you are Rabbi wow, I am blown away, thank God I found you

Rabbi, Friedman, you are helping me to find GOD. I have lost my way and abandoned my faith. Your teaching is helping me. Thank you

Awesome. This channel is so wonderful. I’m Christian . But I believe and enjoy every word . Bless you Rabbi.

God wants us to keep his commandments.

Thank you, Rabbi, for waking me up and allowing me to see the purpose which was always there, but not seen!

I can't have enough of listening what you have to say I am not even Jewish

I love you much Rabbi!!! Pleasure to get a knowledge from you, knowledge from our creator 🤗🤓Can’t stop listening!

I remember my fathers longing to teach ❤me Judaism, which we never lived by, I wonder in my heart how many things have passed me by because I needed more knowledge. Your wisdom is remarkable.❤

God is the epitome of humility. Thankyou God you showed me that your nature is humility. You have chosen to have oneness with the lowest being we, men.

Same, mind-blowing I'm not Jewish either but can relate to the atrocities done to the Jewish race. Awesome to have been lead to you

Before principals is love. Love created everything.

God is having an experience thru each and every one of us. We are an extension of God

This is so so deep!! Thank you Rabi! Stay blessed!!

Thank you Rabbi, I’m so touched by your knowledge, I am jealous of your life. I just pray I can at least do what god wants of me. To bond with him.

... Thank you, Rabbi...

that touched me very deeply. I understand better and better what it means: He is MY G-d. It is indeed irresistible...

Thank you brother!

❤

I love this Rabbi, he speaks the same what Rumi & Ibn Arabi was telling 1000 years back, only people of Spritual understanding can make it out. With lots of ❤️ from INDIA

I love God with my whole heart and soul!! And I feel God’s Love completely…it is the most beautiful love I’ve ever known. God loves me better than any human ever could. He gives me my purpose as well, every second of every day. I belong to Him and Work to serve Him every day! ❤

Wow.. Rabbi Friedman .. So much to un pack in what u said... All i can say your words are spot on and profound.. Ty so much. Not many speak like this.ty for ur wisdom.. The world is lacking this!!!

Yet, God gives us the GRACE to respond to HIM as we ought

Good (god)s purpose is to create joy, beauty and harmony (heaven).

Thanks Rabbi truth keep it coming hallelujah

Excellent words! Thank you very much.

Very profound. This is "deep calling unto deep"!

Simple illustration of being one with God our heavenly Father in the stillness within, which is His pleasure and purpose.

Profound Rabbi. Baruch HaShem ve hashem ehad bishvilanou

Powerful message.Thank you

Wonderful lecture!

Thank you for sharing. 🙏🏽

THANK YOU RABBI

Make the simple choice, Good/Love or Evil/Hate. Choose. Simple.

Hey Rabbi you are the best man i have eer come across.

One God .So much religion. This man has knowledge.

we don't know nothing about God except our existence. God is there but he doesn't exist like you and me.

Rabbi Friedman, I do appreciate your lecture very much. I am a christian. Thank you.

HI, people, thanks for sharing this video, very interesting, I'm Muslim and if I can interact & share my thoughts, I would say the following: First the Big Idea, I can relate to it. elevate to the oneness of God, learn to elevate here to better understand each other, ok, fair enough, but I don't like the following --> He "needs" us to fulfill his "pleasure". it seems not good to me. ( will explain why below ). Ok, I can understand that God "wants" a special relationship ( that he couldn't find with the angels ) and yes, we are here to develop ourself to better relate and understand and be intimate, yes I do relate to this. But to say: He created everything and still we decide ( to accept him or not - free choice "ok" ) it's too arrogant from our side. No ! he's too proud to wait for our acceptance. . It should go like the following : From our side, by understanding his project ( purpose of life ) we have to ask him to accept us ( Hi God, Can you please please be our friend please ?! ) and he will see if it's possible ^^. I would love if we had this kind of preaching on Friday's mosk prays.

Before love there was the Creator!

What was before the universe? Increase or decrease...? How long has creation lived? How do we say time In less understanding? There's an expression that gives way to understanding...

Our lord loves his creatian, let us love Our Lord and come closer to hım, me myself i became a Müslim at 14 years before i was a Christian and now listening almost everyday to Rabbi Manis Friedman, let us Jews Christians and Muslims come closer our Creator is one, can We not become one Blessings to all

Thanks a million diamond soul Angles journey honour hugs and love from Kenya beautiful beautiful beautiful souls

I am glad that I found you l understand more thank you for explaining

What an awesome and magnificent G-D we serve.

Thought provoking

A mystic for the everyday man.

sooo profound. my Dad was enamored of numbers. I am starting to see why. Maybe he didn't go quite deeply enough.

One of the most important and powerful teachings. Thank you so much Rabbi Friedman.

You literally blow my mind every time I listen to your videos.

God wants me to be happy.!!

I know this message is going to be great.

I love your lecture.

We are instrumants to God...! Be still and knowe that i am God the Lord says...

Oh rabbi

Profound Rabbi

thank you rabbi, yes your right, it is because want's a real meaningful relationship with me like no other human being want's or can give and so i give in to his desire of me though my response is sorrowfully shamefully nothing in comparison to his love for me, i shamefully admit. i mean do really love him way beyond anyone else but when i consider how he feel's about me there's no comparison at all, or rather it doesn't match up to his, but he is so wise and inderstanding, knowing that i'm only his creation and what i'm made of that he also knows that it is impossible for me to love him so as he truely deserves. i wish i could give him what he deserves but know that that's impossible because of what i am, my love is mearly a feeble reponse to his love and want of me, but his still my farther and i do love him, not because he's god but because he love's me and has shown me that over and over again, faithfully he has, i wish i could be as faithful amd loving as he's been to me, a better farther i could not ask for, i w just wish i could be a better son.

I admire people who can speak hours about things based on religious bullshit, old men writings from the desert times, etc and keep to seem wise all the time :-) Passing false "knowledge" in a seemingly logical way, having based it on other's people "knowledge" that was based on what ancient few old men invented as a "knowledge' of the "god's will" .... is a big skill :-) Weak people listen with open mouths ... :-)

Oh, you really have stunning wisdom.

VERY HIGH METAPHYSICS! thankz Rabbi, thankz so much!

But the key question is what IS MY specific purpose in the overall grand purpose and how can I find out?

Rabbi, you are a true Socrates of our times...!

This is so deep...

❤❤❤

ALHAMDULILLAH.

Being one with G'd is the ultimate purpose of Life indeed. He IS our life. (And although this is a goj speaking - I *know*.)

What i understand is he need us as just we need it...as we believe it will be greater tham what he needs us to do...God is really awesome and amazing that one shld grasp and enjoy it...thanks for choosing us! though holiness is our strength on the journey to this life...am i right?

Me too I love this guy

You are discussing the nearest belief from among preacher around the globe. Can you help me to experience Israel?

for the psych of God that we all are & pleasure is due to the desire...!

So do I. Life 4 everyone.

A holy God is in need of nothing and no-one. He has created a god in his own lonely image. Makes it up our of his own limited mind. If God is perfect then He has no lack!

When You were talking about the oneness of God and the desire for having a dwelling (30:00) I got the idea that the construction of the tower of Babylon Is not just a story of attacking God nor Exalting man above God which the end result is that God scatters Mankind across the Earth to disrupt Mans plans for exaltation of himself. Instead, it is what man's purpose should be, to become a single people in a single place with a single language and Striving To Work our way toward God in Oneness or at least bring God within an arrow's reach. The scattering of man across the Earth and separating the languages so we could not understand one another, was an act of giving man the purpose of striving to come together again in Oneness using our own voluntary will, it simply gave man purpose on earth. Lastly, In the scripture of one of the prophets, I want to say Micah or zephaniah (God said, I desire Holy offspring.) God wants us to multiply the Spirit of Life given to Mankind in order to create for God another Holy dwelling and Servant and for one simple reason......... Love! which is the beginning and the end for God's motivation of Creation.

God pursued me while I was in the world. I started drinking and smoking at the age of six to eight. When I became a teenager, these habits, along with promiscuity and marijuana smoking, intensified. That is why I recently publish my first book, Relentlessly Pursued by God.

Maybe God reveals himself to us on a one to one basis, He wants your love as though it were the only love there is, and that is how he deals with us. One at a time but all at once.

The porpose of this world came about to separate ourselves from God, obviously! God then made it possible for the world's purpose to become one with God again.

47:00 - what is our purpose in life. Answered.

Darn you sir, you made me cry in shame on how I have been approaching my/our creator. Thank you for helping me realign myself with G-d, Creator of everything. Thank you for being that "Third person" to reunite my relationship with G-d. shabbat shalom

God created the central first , the mystery, then he divided it into two equal parts and laying down the law that everything has an opposite. It is up to us to find the balance . In Gods creation , nature and it's laws , which does God care for most , the predator or the prey ? We humans are so vain , it's not just about us , it's about all of creation and we must find our way within the solid laws of nature , the laws of God . What does God want us to chose? I feel it in my soul , the desire towards the positive , compassion , empathy, knowledge and humility.

Thank you rabbi

I am interested to join the Circle, but my resources is very limited.
