Not in the sense that the Creator is lacking in anything, though there must have been or let me say, there must be some positive reason why the Creator created, aside from the fact that we wouldn't be able to call him the Creator if he had not created and he would by definition, not be 'The Creator' if he hadn't actually created anything. Things would only exist in potential and only God would be aware that the potential exists, but in an unrealized state. One could say that 'Creation' is the external manifestation of the 'Creator' and that if the Creator was to remain in that unactualized state he would not be able to see himself beyond the point of conceptualizing himself! I think Creation is therefore Symbiotic in that it gives to and serves both the Creator and his creation.
For thousands of years the world has been killing great teachers of Judaism, simply because they are great men. Thank you Rabbi Friedman for another wonderful lecture. Have a wonderful peach with your family and friends and I look forward to many more interesting shiurim. Greetings from Netanya.
I enjoyed this video and your wisdom.I am finally finding my way out of a desert after deep grief!An ocean of tears! Building blocks of creation for my future,one day at a time. A deep inner journey and finding myself,developing new focus and new skills.Thank you for your wisdom.Thank God for the road map.Forty months!
Egypt is the physical part of our being. It’s our addiction to live according to our ego or to drugs or to someone else’s ego. Leaving Egypt is on one level the process of death (leaving the physical for spiritual), on other level it’s leaving our addictions to serve godly purpose. Egypt is part of every person (even Chamemei) and society just like Israel too is part of everything. Wanna see Chamenei‘s face on this statement 😂
Thanks again Rabbi You have a wonderful way of explaining history and bringing into the present. I have never heard of the Pharaoh in a positive light 💡. This makes much more sense than what I was taught in my past.
Rabbi Friedman please consider dialoguing with Oren Lyons on the rise of antisemitism amongst Native American especially their youth often taught in universities that characterize the Jewish people as colonizers of Israel. Oren Lyons was a good friend of John Lennon and you are a good friend of Bob Dylan. Thank you for your attention.
I need set free from the physical Pharoah who holds me hostage. His first born is already ashes in a box. His grandchildren are suffering the plagues. Still he keeps me in prison that I cannot escape. Please pray for me. I need my official conversion.
every lecture I learn to see from a different perspective and everytime life becomes clearer and I can walk toward HaShem's light from out of my exile. WOW
More jibberish; the desert is an EXCELLENT place to find God, look at the Orthodox saints, monks and nuns. It's not for most people but it formed Saints. A great idea for those holy people.
I really enjoy listening to your words. I wish there were subtitles in Hebrew so I could share the video with my friends. חג שמח ובשורות טובות לכל עם ישראל
Matthew 10:28“And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” King James Version (KJV)
Anybody else figured out that tree of life puzzle. It is Amazing. Whoever invented that with the sefirots must have been a super genius. It showed me sacred geometry, New math, science, even technology weird stuff started happening. The most Awesome experience ever. ( If anyone knows if there is a part 2 please let me know. I checked the kabbalah stuff to see if I could find more but I think that was it. It showed me the universe and everything. The Top triangle is about to come off and when that happens bye bye everything. 🎉
1 Timothy 4:1Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 4For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: 5For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
Building blocks are not about buildings, temples or anything else.. But only about man's construction of flesh and blood.. gentleness, and all other components of the nervous system, feelings, actions - and their development on earth in radias.. And without envy..
You’ll note that, no pharaoh is ever named in the Torah…not in the time of Avraham, nor Joseph or as you noted, during the Exile and Exodus. But later on in the Bible there are pharaohs that are named, for example: Shishak, Necho, and others. The difference may be attributed to the fact that a Jew is forbidden from writing or speaking aloud the name of a man worshipped as a deity. Before the Exodus, the people of Egypt believed that pharaoh was a god. After the experiencing the plagues and the utter fall of the Egyptian empire, they knew that their king was just a man. After the fall of Egypt, even if the crown tried to maintain that the king was a deity the populace no longer worshipped him, only paying lip service to the idea.
@@AuZarks The exodus occurred nearly 1000 years before the last pharaoh, the last pharaoh ended his reign in 342 bc. The exodus occurred sometime between 1440 and 1415. Doesn't really seem like your statement makes any sense. The exodus certainly did not mark an end to the Egyptian royalty at all. The Jews did not think of a pharaoh as a god did they? I see no reason why they would have been compelled to not write his actual name.
@@AuZarks - - The people of the Exodus (if it ever actually happened) were not Jews. ‘Jews’ didn’t even exist until after Israel was torn in half with the Kingdom of Israel in the north and the Kingdom of Judea in the south. Sorry but your theory is a bit of a stretch!
The Pharaoh of Moses' time was a Troubled Pharaoh and his statue proves this. This Pharaoh this the only one depicted of all the Pharaohs with his ears turned out as in to ear the trouble. I suggest Watching David Rohl's Pharaohs and Kings and the Pattern of Evidence series on the Exodus.
The doppel method was implemented in Europe late, with the Crusaders. It was in the middle east as early as Ezekiel. European Jews, like yourself, did get to be one following Rabbi Akiva, I would say, due to an Eucharistic Revival generated by Rabbi Akiva. There have been other Eucharistic Revivals.
Thank you rabbi I enjoy your conversations I'm not that religious but I enjoy history. I stand with Israel 🇮🇱 in it's toughest moments in the Jewish ✡️ state
2 Peter Chapter 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
Thank you, Rabbi. I still don't understand. Were the plagues to soften the Hebrew people to hear Moses? Why was Pharaoh's heart hardened until the 10th plague.
There's the problem right there Rabbi, Pharaoh thought of himself as a 'created god', instead of a created human being, like the rest of us. To self promote yourself to a 'created god' sounds like a definition (or example) of haughtiness. Disloyal to God, perhaps? Pharaoh was just a created human being who just happened to be born wealthy and who had access to some insightful advisors (Job, Jethro, Balaam, etc.). No wonder Hashem wanted to make an example of Pharaoh. Happy Passover everyone!
I have never understood God killing the first born. It seems the Old Testement God could be cruel. I never have been able to equal this to an all knowing, all loving God.
I think God hardened ph's heart to show the Egyptians what you do to Israel WILL happen to you. I have heard that the plagues were a direct "back at you" from God. Im a student and Im learning, so Im open to being wrong, any thoughts/ observations?
If it was not the epidemics that caused Pharaoh to release the Jewish people, then why did the epidemics occur in the first place? This is what I don't understand and I hope someone can answer me
I like you 😊. I have entities that I don't actually know who they are, some I think are friends, some demand to be set free. From what I understand maybe they played in my quantum sticky energy and now are entangled. Or maybe they are cellular consciousness level thinking I'm some giant jail. Maybe they are a critical part of my functioning body calling for mutiny. Not only do I not know how to let anyone go, but I don't act without understanding what I'm dealing with. I have no energy for preventable recovery missions. I am not happy where I am in my current situation and desperately want the freedom to do what I want without relying on the mercy of anyone else, but maybe I'm part of someone else's function, and in that case, their other cells are malicious and might want to get a check up. I was born without the ability to do anything mathematics, and a scar on my left above the ear I don't want to reincarnate in a similar situation because some people wanted off the ride before it stopped. Hopefully that is not a repeating cycle,
Anakin's is like me he protects life Rolie polie savoir but hayden is my voice that will lead u all to rightousness Anakin is savoir but hayden is my prophet
I believe everyone was very educated back then. Look at the 613 mitzvot. People were highly intelligent back then. Also the shape of the pyramids and what they were used for and all the findings. It's really amazing. Problem is our society these days is plain and simply getting dumb as technology continues to grow. Mind blowing 🤯 but it is definitely happening and doesn't make sense lol 😆

b"H ***** Five Star Post, if I may be so audacious as to comment on or evaluate your speech. Wow, I hear you echoing the theme of A.J. Heschel in 'G-d in Search of Man'. Pharaoh, as you know (and I got this info in Chabad-sponsored shiurim in non-IGTK venues, and perhaps even some of it in a late-90's near-the-Rocky-Mountains-city women's class in which BJHS teachers often taught) did not drown with his charioteers at the Reed Sea. He went on to become the king of Nineveh and then one of Iyov's three advisors. When Moshe said that they wanted to, all of them, go to the wilderness, Pharaoh's voice was the voice of caution, because he saw the Death Star hovering over the desert (Evil Merodach, a name related to the name of a certain anciently recognized Mesopotamian deity that was thought to be the prince on a certain planet that circles what was and/or is known as the 'Death Star') and he said that he was worried, that certainly Moshe and the Israelites would perish in the desert - but Moshe had seen the fire in the bush and that the bush was Not consumed, and that the Voice that spoke to him came from the fire. Moshe knew; he had his instructions, and, indeed, was a 'man of G-d', being G-d above the waist, and man below the waist, as I have been taught. The "Death Star' has never been a death star for the Israelites. It's important to know that even when Jews participate in secular activities, the main thing is always the Torah. There was a little something about that at 'Inside Chassidus' on YT yesterday, telling why, in Lubavitch, we don't have two channels of leaders, the religious ones and the secular ones, like Agudah has, among other timely details of our history. So, from this story as you tell it, it seems that Egypt, being focused on various practicalities but not on Torah, was on the rocks anyhow, and would have gone down anyhow, even if the Israelites had not left. Some anti-Jewish video-makers nowadays like to say how 'the Jews ruined Egypt, ruined Spain, ruined Germany, took all those great civilizations' wealth and ran away after taking advantage of them'; well, any civilization that was not living according to Torah became, in its time, on the rocks, due to incorrect priorities. But some people were smart in each place and joined us, including the Eiruv Rav, a bunch of people living in Egypt who were from various nations and decided to leave along with the Israelites. So, being part of a nation that is about to crumble does not mean going down with that nation. Anyone who is sincere can try to escape every time we do, with us, but, they have to be sincere. The Eiruv Rav caused a lot of problems, but Moshe did not reject them. They were given a chance to have a future. Maaseh avot siman l'banim. Now we've got new names and faces [places? I never could hear the lyrics too clearly]... this time around... (quote from a famous John Denver song)
“Let me tell you the one thing I have against Moses. He took us forty years into the desert in order to bring us to the one place in the Middle East that has no oil!” ― Golda Meir
Good story but did other people live in other areas besides this? Yes they did. Not everyone lived in Egypt when this happened it only belongs to those people. People in like China at that time didn't even know who Moses was😂😂😂. People in like America, not in Egypt no phone no Internet yet how did they know? So everyone in the whole world lived in Egypt? No other countries and people had nothing to do with this. Thank you universe for that. Theses people still have a lot of trama 😢😢😢. I wish y'all healing.
Egypts Kings of Pharaoh was high intelligence people of medical science economy trade for thousands years in around Middle East Israel has learn about from Egypt
Yeah, have you studied the Hebrew scriptures?? There’s a reason Egypt is referred to as the reproductive organ of women which is where you’re born from
1) If living in the wilderness with tents is the ideal. Why not go towards Native Americans and learn about their knowledge of the creator? They did that for over 40 thousand years. Why live like Ancient Egyptians with judges, central government, economy science, and everything while Canada and the USA have vast plains , mountains, and forests more comfortable than that hostile desert?
Now Moses and whoever this Pharaoh was at the time (common reference claims Rameses II), they *knew* eachother; this guy coming into his office was his own *adopted kid stepbrother*, this's nothing unusual; and I have no possible doubt that a singificantly large part of their conflict was on the matter of ordering (or having ordered) the murder of the children of the workers: this's something even forbidden in Pharaoh's own faith- and it *would* behoove him to call this guy out on criminal acts towards the workers- if on no other dimension than that no head of state can win by slaughtering the laborers in his own country: such a thing is really national *suicide*, as even in "the 10 Commandments" by Cecil B. DeMill's own production, his own predessor is, rather violently objecting, to the idea of launching a military attack on the children of the laborers in the brick-pit-factories of his country: he said that he numbers his enemies as those *armed*, not in *chains*; as in a genuine "Where is your head? Men who're factory laborers are NOT enemy soldiers you idiotic twit!" he clearly does NOT agree with this idea, or is extremely discomfortable with the concepts he's being suggested to order: namely the slaughter of babies being born!
Canaanites originally had their territory in the north Sidon Genesis 10 documents them invading southwards into the Hebrew land. Therefore, Abraham was born in exile on the furthest end of Mesopotamia away from his ancestral homeland, which he returned to.
@@Yosaif-Israel The Hebrew existed before the Ibraham or after Ibraham...?? By the way Ibraham was born in Sumerian society and they worship idol...........
Why you forget Ibrahim?? what happened with Yusuf ???😊 Why do you forget Yakub (Israel)??? All Muslims regard all descendents of Ishaq (Peace upon him).....
Egypt is not in a museum, Egypt created your monotheistic religion. And I agree with Freud when he said Moshe was an Egyptian not a Jew and his religion was the one of Amenhotep who later became Akhenaten. (You can also read the hymn to Atum).
They were pagans. They did pay to one god but they went back to their old pagan ways at the time of Moses. Moses was a Jew by birth but raised by a different family.
The Great Ancient Knowledge and Mystery Schools were born out of Egypt; not Israel. The Pharoughs invented kabbalah and metaphysics. ACTS 7:22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and deeds.
Is there archeological evidence that Jews ever was in Egipt in those times? Isn't Jews geneticly linked to Kanaan tribes and not ancient egoptians? Are there any buildings, ceramics in found in Israel that resemble Egiptian ones? Isn't this all metaphor?
The only relationship that the Children Of Israel (Jews) had with the Canaanites is that they supplanted the Canaanites. God gave the Land of the Canaanites to the Children Of Israel. They were not called Jews till many years later!
King Solomon is how they did it all . I believe the pyramids are Solomon's gold mines made to separate Gold from sea water , and all they had they had learnt from King Solomon.
Pharoah became rich pompous and took advantage of the Jews because he knew they were builders thanks to Solomon having them build for him . Pharoah seen opportunity and took it and enslaved them .
Solomon lived 500 years after the exile from Egypt, and that pharaoh of the enslavement. Solomons wisdom supersedes any superficial pyramid building. Obviously, you are underestimating the Egyptians and don’t even have a grasp of Solomons wisdom.
