What Jewish mystics said HELL looks like 

I was born and raised Catholic, but for the past 10 years or so I’ve learned so much more from watching Rabbi Friedman than ever learned from any Christian priests and preachers… thank you Rabbi

Now I understand why Jewish folk are the chosen ones God SPOKE to them this is huge to me. I was born a Catholic but it never fitted me even as a kid I was deep and wondered why God spoke to the Jews. A Jewish Lady was friends with my Grandma and she would mind me as a kid I loved her and she me. My father would light her fire on Saturdays. And this was explained to me as a kid. I’m now 60 and have had a life of ups and downs then I found this wonderful Rabbi I believe the Jews can make us holy again. I’m Irish been and seen the world and it’s mystery it’s a lot to take in for me but I like to hear the Rabbi talk.

I work with the dying and this topic comes up a lot - everyone thinks they're going to hell forever. You just gave me a beautiful gift to offer.

That is the most elegant explanation that I’ve ever heard. Thank you for sharing it.

Interesting. One quibble, I'm not aware of any Christian tradition that says we become angels at death. Humans and angels are two distinct species.

The most incredible teaching. Probably the best explanation on this subject.

This talk is brilliant. Thank you, Rabbi.

I am christian (and a believer) and I appreciated very much this video. Thank you very much Rabbi Friedman for this very interesting and very relevant analysis.

Jay in Canada 🇨🇦 Rabbi, Your words of wisdom made my day. Thank you

I am a Christian and I love hearing you speak Rabbi. I feel that I get a little bit closer to G-d when I do. G-d bless you 😊

I experienced the last minutes before a person passes away when I had an asthma attack and reaction to chemicals, the day my apartment complex was sprayed for bugs. I “regained consciousness” on a stretcher, which EMTs were working on me, but I had been conscious, the whole time. The rabbi is, indeed, correct. I had a change of heart, a dramatic shifting of priorities and a strong belief in something greater than what I could see, as a result of my NDE. I saw many things others who nearly die do, but I never heard about such things, before it happened to me. I saw my strengths and all areas I needed to improve. I was very fortunate to be given a choice to go, or come back to my body. I had a baby, who I could not bear to be separated from, because I knew it would be OK, but she did not. She needed me to be there for her, to make sure she had a healthy human bond that was enduring.

Thank you Rabbi Friedman!! ✡️🙏❤🔥 Wish you and everybody here a wonderful day!! 💪🙂👍️🎶

Thank you brother I’ve been struggling with this for a long time trying to figure this out.thank you my brother.

The best explanation my husband was murder 26years ago and I feel his presence most of the days..I'm happy they still remember all the ones they left bit their soul still alive..Wow love your teachings and its true other rabbias say opposite hugs from Dallas,Texas:lorena 🙏 #1 channel

" Do not eat of the fruit of this tree; if YOU DO, YOU will DIE". ( "Beware of false teachings ". ) 😇

Thank you, Rabbi, for telling us about this with so much empathy, kindness, and clarity.

thank you this was so beautifully explained

Thank you, Rabbi. This video is so needed.

Thank you, Rabbi, always love your teaching!

what you say not only resonates with me but goes along with my experience with the spiritual. The nonelements what the Christian doctrine teaches never did sit well with me. It just adds more questions. You explanations just makes sense to me.

How interesting. I have always wondered about this because My mom and my dad that passed, I truly felt it took them time to settle. In fact, I knew this through my experiences with them after death which is a long story ! I am kind of blown away right now. I am not Jewish but somehow I believe this to be true.

This made so much sense...and ive being goingbthrough it and words of wisdom like this has helped me get better.

Amazing as always. Thank you for your wise words

Every time I hear you speak it reinforces what I have believed in my guts all my life, without knowing why, and if you believe and listen careful they are still their. I taught my girls if they do nothing please do not do things that you know you will regret

Minimizing Hell's existence won't keep you away from it

Never mind the hell after death. Must of us turned this life in to hell.. 👍

An informative talk. Thank you.

everyone knows , anything goes. everytime we go ,we wish you well. only one god shall save you.and it will be light. shalom in every quantum acting for you.blessed

Ty rabbi fir sharing Jewish ✡️ mysticism.Your helping people of all beleifs find peace and move closer towards god or being better people all round..

I was a kid brought up by my Christian mother. She used to tell me that when we die and not forgiven from our sin then we'll be burnt in hell for ever. I used to get scared when mum tells me that even though I am in ashes I would still be shouting with pain. Thank you rabbi manis friedman for your explanation and for relieving me from my fears of hell. Now I know the truth. God bless you rabbi for revealing the truth.

This makes a lot of sense. Thanks.

This gave me a better understanding of this topic

Thank you rabbi. Its so openly my mind and souls

I'm glad he is clarifying this according to the mystics as from the clips i have seen criticising his approach seem to imply that hell isnt something to worry about..it is "only" the soul feeling in the wrong place, but this makes light of the issue. Now that i hear it more in detail, i see this is indeed inline with tradiitional mystic and chassidic teachings. More to be said but it sounds much more mainstream in this video.

Brilliant talk thank you so much ⚔

Hashem bless you ❤

The way the truth and the life, explains it better to human kind. ❤

This video is very soothing.

Thank you for this lesson of understanding; makes total sense now, I could never wrap my thoughts around HaShem creating a hell where souls would suffer for ever or in such horrible ways, how you describe it sound more like He would have created it.

This discussion begs the question: so what became of Hitler and his Nazis, who tortured and murdered so many millions of people?

Amen Rabbi!

I totally agree and i have always thought like this. ❤

Thank you very much

GOOD MORNING 🌞 🙏 I SO REALLY ENJOY YOUR BRILLIANCE!!! THANK YOU ‼️ 19:25

It was so cruel if the government to make people die alone .

Thank you!

You have taught me ,and I'm greatful.

Gehinnom is a real PLACE, not merely an experience. The Sages make this quite clear - see Maseches Gehinnom, Megillah 14a, Sanhedrin 110a, Bava Basra 74a, Taanis 10a, Pesachim 94a, and many more Talmudic and Aggadic sources.

Nobody is in hell ..all the devils are here !!!!

Thank you Rabbi 😊

Thank you

Lovely advice

Thank you Rabbi for your teachings. I do have a question regarding the after life concept. What about those people that claimed to go to hell and return? Those people tend to depict some very disturbing pictures of hell. Lastly, God must have sent me to watch your video because for the past 3 months I have been struggling with the idea of my existence, death and hell. I would wake up during my sleep frightened by the idea of dying. And I would call God’s name. Any thoughts you have on this matter would be appreciated. Thank you

My non Jewish grandmother would say "I'm all burned up" when angry. I lost my mother and best friend last year. This video was helpful. To an extent verified my idea relating to the afterlife. A loving G-d could never forsake his child. I'm half Jewish through the father--not the real deal--but was raised both religions, insofar as is possible, told to choose as an adult. Like most of my generation I'm secular but enjoy the rabbi

If our soul reincarnates, and when it leaves the body, it remembers the body it had with all its memories, which body does the soul remembers then, if the soul reincarnated several times?

This is beautiful. Hashem is perfect Amen

Thank you.

For those of you who want to know sources and references please refer to the Talmud, Mishna, oral law and Jewish Mysticism. Another sourse is the Tanya. There is so much more spirituality than many understand. Hashem will enlighten those who truly seek with all their heart, soul and possesions. There is the good inclination and the evil. There is the soul that is tied to the light of the Creator, Hashem, and the animal soul which is tied to things of the flesh/ego/pride/self. The soul that is tied to the Creator, the good inclination, goes through and works it all the emotional anguish which is still painful. So the more you work through Teshuva and those challenges on earth the less your soul has to go through after its physical life.

Blessed 🙏🙏🙏 Rabbi ❤

Hell is an experience we all live through at certain times in Life.Not to overcomplicate it

Thank you so much for your time and sharing your wisdom. I have a question in regards to cremation. My 20 year old son passed on from this earth on June 18th , alittle over 2 months now. I made the choice to have cremated so his remains would be with me. I would like to know your thoughts about the resurrection for those that have been cremated and have had some of their remains spread . I must be honest I am definitely struggling with this and if I made the mistake in having this done (as if I can redo it ). I’m having a difficult time finding peace about this .

Thanks ❤

Saint Isaac the Syrian “[T]hose who are punished in Gehenna are scourged by the scourge of love. Nay, what is so bitter and vehement as the torment of love? I mean that those who have become conscious that they have sinned against love suffer greater torment from this than from any fear of punishment. For the sorrow caused in the heart by sin against love is more poignant than any torment. It would be improper for a man to think that sinners in Gehenna are deprived of the love of God. Love is the offspring of knowledge of the truth which, as is commonly confessed, is given to all. The power of love works in two ways: it torments sinners, even as happens here when a friend suffers from a friend; but it becomes a source of joy for those who have observed its duties. Thus I say that this is the torment of Gehenna: bitter regret.”

I have a question, referencing when you talked about "burning a soul" at 12:30 - 12:43. Referencing Isaiah 6:2 when we read "Heavenly creatures of fire stood above him...". If there are heavenly creatures of fire, proposing that a spiritual fire exists, why would that not have some type of standing in this context? *Genuinely asking*

A beautiful , logical explanation of live, death, soul, and hell or heaven. U said these is the Jewish way...but the most important question is : where in Thora is this explanation? Where u base on when telling this?

Living with regrets is like being Dead when youre alive.Dont do it,worry about what you can change only.

if a body is a dead thing, and the soul is a living thing, which gives life to a body, a body is a dead thing, made of earth, and the soul is the energy which turns it to life, than every living being has a soul! and we are all the same, humans and animals, even plants. I'm happy with this thought!

Thank you, Rabbi for sharing the Jewish tradition. I’m from the lens as a Catholic Christian. If I may humbly say, never in our Catechism does it teach us that we all go to Heaven and become angels. This could be the belief of non-Catholics. We believe people choose Hell, thus they reject God. We also believe ina place called Purgatory. A place to burn off impurities as nothing impure can enter God’s Kingdom. God bless!

Thank you rabbi

Excellent Rabbi

We don't need a hell in the afterlife - the pain and suffering in this world is hell enough.

Very interesting.. one thing i was wondering what is considered time in that world? is it like our 24 hour day. I was under the impression there is no time in the next world. 1 day of Hashem can be 1000 years for us.

Genesis 2:7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. What God gave, he may also take away. Genesis 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Does God lie? Something must have died when Adam sinned, yet he lived 930 years. Genesis 3:17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Genesis 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. Here God speaks to Adam as being the dust from the earth. Might the living soul have been rescinded? Do we get life from a mortal soul or, do we get life from the blood flowing through our veins? Genesis 4:10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. Genesis 9:4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. Note God did not say 'thy brother's soul crieth unto me'! What he does say is that all souls are His: Ezekiel 18:4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die. What the Lord gives, He may also take away. Adam disobeyed God, so did he lose his soul on that day? Do note they were kicked out of Eden so they would not eat from the tree of life and live forever. I just wanted to help get people thinking; God does not want to send people to hell, He created us for his pleasure: Ezekiel 18:21-23 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord God: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?

So how do you exist or live as a soul? If a soul is timeless and beyond space (as it is no more bound by a matter - a body), what then is the significance of the timing of the hell experience

Thanks

Hello everyone today is a full blue moon so watch out to your energy and make any wish 💙🌌🎑

That's My BLESSEDNESS Grandpa Wow!

our form is temporary. but the conscience and the atoms of your old shell exist for eternity.

The Ramban (Nachmonidies) in Sha’ar Ha’Gemul Chapter 35 writes that the descriptions of Gehinnom given by the Sages are not mere parables. He writes in Chapter 36 that the FIRE of Gehinnom is of a different nature, and IS CAPABLE of burning souls.

Why is it that we wont accept we may just be snuffed out like a Candle?Knowone knows is really the answer.Whos come back to tell us what its like to be dead? We all live in hope of a nice life after we die who doesnt? Logic is really needed here and realism

EZK 18:31-31 "no pleasure in the death, the death says ADONAI, therefore turn & Live" psalm 69:27 give them with crime upon crime> do not let them come into.......צדיקתך Book of Living>Yeshaya 4:3

I would really appreciate references from Torah or Tanak to substantiate the twelve/eleven months of adjustment. Also the fact that people who died from covid went straight to heaven - what about sin not repented for? Would that argument not imply that all people who died in solitude, in pain or in suffering, would also bypass the adjustment period?

What about people that take their own lives because of severe mental Illness that they have done everything to fix but the pain and isolation is just too much to go on.

Now I understand why Jews are chosen they speak truth

Manis I Hope The Angels Smile 😃 😊 😀 😄 🎉❤ @ US INSHALLAH

This is deep!

Because in a body with its physicality can make amends. You can right a weong, so without, i concur with the rabbi

Wow you looking good! 👍

So...someone like Hitler or Mao Zedong went through this transition of regret for no more than twelve months? Am I missing something here?

Baruch Hasham, ‏ברוך השם for the chosen one ☝️ for helping non Jewish people to understand about life and death.

Baruch Hashem...

Rabbi, what happens when it’s not hell that scares you, but death itself? Lately, I’m 51 & have lost nearly every person. I only have a spouse, who is 76. Not only am I terrified of losing my spouse, I know that life ends in death, and it’s all I can think about. You say, life doesn’t die & I absolutely believe in G-d. I am Jewish, I converted almost 20 years ago now, but this fear of death has overtaken me. Any suggestions?

I can almost hear christians and muslims gnash their teeth at this and I like that (dunno about hindus) but I appreciate this thinking.

The 12-month period doesn't seem reasonable. When one lives a bad life, it will cause an eternity of regret because every action, good or bad, will be repeated in perpetuity.

Rabi I am so afraid of death and you are such a blessing. Can you answer a stupid question please. What about living things that have no soul? For example birds and other creatures

Hello Rabbi. I’m a Muslim. In YOUR Jewish belief, you believe in the resurrection of the dead in the time of the messianic age. So after this resurrection of the dead what happens next. I know you believe in Olam Haba, so after this resurrection of the dead do u believe everyone will go to olam haba. What happens in olam haba then? I’m curious

What a nice pleasant man.

The idea of death refers only to the physical. It is taken for granted that our spiritual selves never die. Each of us has a spiritual copy of our physical bodies and have had since conception. At physical death the two, spiritual and physical, simply separate. The physical loses it's vitality but the spiritual continues on, indeed it raises up and enters the Earth's spiritual worlds that we call the heavens. This is no mystery. Why do we make it one?

Goedendag, Bent u op onderzoek naar de waarheid in de Bijbel? Wij zijn een groep die elke shabbat in Amsterdam samenkomt en nodigen u van harte uit voor een dienst. Wij zijn te vinden onder Bnee Emet of opzoeknaardeeeuwigewaarheid.

This means all bad people, including the worst (I'm thinking especially those who killed millions) will go to heaven after 12 months?
