Why Did God Create The Tree of Knowledge In The First Place? האמת מאחורי סיפור אדם וחוה 

What an amazing, thought provoking and beautiful interpretation! Thank you and shalom rabbi🙏

Thank you so much, Rabbi ! You challenge my lazy mind so I can exercise my thinking and thus improve my understanding.

Dear Rabbi, I am really excited to listen your sermons, God bless

I live my life completely with your teaching and wisdom.

Thank you Rabbi for your profound and very enlightening shiurim !

If Adam and Eve were Chinese, the world is still perfect up to date..No sin, no suffering..because if Adam and Eve were Chinese? they will Eat the snake not the Apple

Thank you for sharing your wisdom Rabbi.

Thank you for sharing the beauty and wisdom of the Torah

God gives us a question that Adam and Eve help us pick up.Thank you for teaching me a lot!

I commented on an earlier video espousing more or less the same sentiment and interpretation. This story will always be my favourite in The Torah, because of it's 'esoteric nature'. This in my estimation was 'carefully crafted' to teach us that there's often a 'deeper, more 'profound' Truth that lies below the 'superficial'. Blessings to Rabbi Friedman! He is a gift... I'll never tire of listening to him. Shabbat Shalom.

Rabbi , I truly enjoy the wisdom you share . Thank you

One mountain many paths. Thanks for your wise words Rabbi

I wept as I watched and listened......sooooo much love

Rabbi Manis, Indeed you have walked me today into centuries to understand the Biblical story about the first man and woman...Thank you!

Great synergy between words and visual. Well done!

Rabbi, I am not Jewish, but you are my spiritual mentor.

every hearing the voice of your teaching，and i can feel my new comprehension。thank you very much！

Everytime i listen to this explanation, i am so in awe. I am so marvelled. HaShem is so wonderful. Adam and eve are sooo... beautiful. I am so proud of them!!!! Thank you for teaching us, rabbi :-)

G-d bless you Rabbi, you’re a gift to humanity! When I listen to you, I am in a different dimension which is a wonder!

Thank you, shalom alecheim.

Thank you so very much Rabbi Friedman. Your wisdom and your excellent way to express it is so appreciated by me! Thank you so very much for all your wonderful effort with this important job! Toda Raba! You are a Gift sent from God our Heavenly Father! May He Bless you Aboundantly! Amen Hineni

I watched this over and over again :)... and I kearn something new every time! Creation is a relation...God wanted a connection... :) Truly, grateful..

Thank you for an interpretation that makes more sense, whether it's right or wrong.

Thank you, Rabbi

Thank you Rabbi

What a wonderful explaination, thank you for this video,

I love this interpretation Thank The Most High for wisdom

thank you rabbi for the nice talk

The Holy Bible says, in Genesis 1:1: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." And in verse 25b, "And God saw that it was good." It was "perfect" in every way, for "God does not make any mistakes".

This is a very positive and peaceful explanation of Adam and Eve’s decision.

Rabbi Manis Friedman Is just so very soothing when he talks, I think he is such a great teacher, he always seems to have a beautiful way of interpreting the scriptures. I could just listen to this Rabbi for hours. Thank you so much, sir.

❤ ❤ ❤ Grand Slam !

My teacher thank you rabbi

Wow. That’s fascinating. If you think of it on a simple level it doesn’t make much sense. But when you think about it on a deeper level, it makes so much sense.

That was beautiful. Thanks.

Thank you Rabbi for sharing your beliefs. My favorite teaching is "ruining my existence"! Thank you again.

Wow this made too much sense! I've never heard of a more logical explanation of this question, you're truly an enlightened person...

I'm concerned that so many are buying right into this because it sounds good. Study and pray for discernment and confirmation through the Holy Spirit y'all 🙏🏻

I was literally asked this question over the week by a friend and I didn’t have an a good answer. This however really is a good take on why God created the tree of knowledge.

Thank you very much Rabbi. So beautiful and so profound.

Shalom

thank you

❤ Exellent wise very sophisticated explanation, many thanks 🙏 divine messenger of God beloved RABBI MANIS, God be with you Amen.

I have listened to this about 100 times no exaggeration. I can’t get enough . To learn the real meaning of Adam and Eve is changing my life ! Please rabbi do a video of the rest of Torah like this ! Please !

I love your story

Wonderful job

Represent free will, knowing good from bad , choose good in freedom not from not having choices.

So our world is now fixed? Well thank you Adam and Eve. We owe you big time!!

Thanks man! that was very insightful.

I love this illustration

Thank you Rabbi for this video. I have always been so curious about the Adam and Eve and Tree of knowledge story as there were so may details that didn't make sense to me in the traditional way it's taught. For example, why would G-d "punish" Adam and Eve, or restrict them from knowledge or the pursuit of it. I also saw the longer videos that explains things a little more in depth. It really was enlightening. Thank you again!! Also, I think its nice that you decided to make these shorter videos because some people don't have the time or attention span to sit through a longer one. I see the trade of however, there are some that don't understand it. But over all I think it's great. I have shared a few of them.

From the root of truth (love) grows a full tree of life bearing the delicious fruit of joy, beauty and harmony. From the root of ignorance (greed) grows a scrawny tree of life bearing the poisonous fruit of misery ugliness and conflict.

Your ❤ wise explanation beloved RABBI MANIS is excellent you said in another speach God said don't do it but it should of been done , is a spiritual supernatural three , from the Kabbalah. As you made it clear to your followers the three of life with so many universal messages of good and Evil ,so to be balanced like the day and the night. Wise and divine explanations, which in Christianity they been changed as was swits them , the reality is shining, thanks 🙏 for your excellent explanations your the true divine wise messenger. God be with you Amen ❤️.

I have wrestled with this, and other scriptures that don't seem to "make sense". Thank you Rabbi, because this now makes perfect sense. I am truly grateful. 💗

Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful this is the best way I have heard, understood and resonances with the story of creation/Genesis. Thank you Rabbi and thank you G-d for enlightening me in the most lowest, farthest and ignorant part of the world PAKISTAN..... Rabbi this video and your talks and lectures have given me newer understanding of the relationship of Marraige and the heavenly bonding of G-d with us. No words here can express what I am feeling right now thank you thank you thank you with tears of Joy, enlightenment and knowledge.

That’s easy my brother to test his creations of their love for him ,. If you know his majesty is real there is no reason to desire anything

I did not know that it was precisely 10h after g'd created adam that eva eat form the forbiden fruit, nor did i know that souls have a gender. now wht type of time - machine is rabbi friedman using to get this nonsens information ?

💜

Best talk 😎🤓🧐 ... just listening 👂 😋😇

She figured out the game. Destination. Motherhood and b pain is blessing

Thank ypu

Wow.Amazing video 📹 😮

To cool . This was good.

Thank you Rabbi. I am reading Genesis of knowing what happens in heaven. Thanks your explanation. It helps me to undetstand the whole things.

i have heard the deeper story before but this video really puts it into perspective. Beautiful! Baruch HaShem!

Shalom , shalom I hope you doing what doing about the ToRaH giving up light From Adonai , YHWH .

I'm thinking deeply 🤔

Love the lecture. Not so much the music.

I just have a question: if eve is the one giving Adam the reason why they should eat from the tree. Then what role does the serpent play?

I liked the insight. There's more going on here then just what we expect. I always interpreted that tree as the tree of Knowledge. Which can be seen as good and evil. But look where it took us. Yes, God allows us suffering in order to grow closer or fall away to him. So the tree of Knowledge has. The use of Knowledge has been abused and now we no longer have simple times. Never enough. Needing to know more has lead to Rome. The removal of boundaries, self indulgence, with no remorse. I dont think I remember the last time someone has acknowledged how they've harmed someone, any one. I don't mean always self blaming, but giving each other the respect of validation. Its all more important to deny and continue life without taking into retrospect. The pebble in the pond with the ripples. To the sins of the father. The tree is part of the spiritual development. Its the discernment we has lost and lack with the fragmenting of family and community. We are living that spiritual hell because we never set those boundaries nor enforced them. We became me. And we cant. I feel aweful that a WORLD has lost sight to the most perfect and most vulnerable. Our children. We just let this continue. Then, we have zero, ZERO, right to complain for whatever comes next.

Okay I get it now. Awesome

Hm..interesting explanation.

very interesting 🤔….

I was watching other video in the middle and suddenly RU-vid started showing this video! And it’s Wednesday!

Much like with us today..... He gives us the choice, "are we willing"?.... Die to yourself, so that you can live... in Him....

I've often thought this tale is a metaphor for God testing mankind to see if we were fit to rule ourselves. Until you have the determination to disobey, you are fit only to be a slave. I enjoyed your thoughtful interpretation.

A wonderful lesson🙏

Some parents, out of love, let the children (who do not listen) find out the hard way... instead of allowing them to be naive and therefore, unwise.

I’m convinced this view of Genesis 3, are going to change the world. But first it needs to change the righteous remnant of Jews. And for that to happen, more rabbis need to think like rabbi Manis Friedman.

I SO Say Thank You

Thank you so much for the information you give of the word. Such a treasure, more, more. May the almighty bless you with long life and sharp mind. You have blessed me to tears.

Magnificent, our wonderful GOD BARUCH HASHEM

I am in tears. Many many years ago, I heard a similar version of this story ... the fact that Eve was tempted by "knowledge" was an epiphany. It opened my eyes to the terrible warping of women's roles by so many Church teachings. Women were debased ... temptresses and harlots. Mary Magdalene only rehabilitated by the Catholic Church in the 1950's. I left the Church and studied Hinduism and Buddhism in my twenty years in India. Then I evolved into a belief in my sharing "consciousness" with a Universal Creator or God. Mysticism ... but this beautiful interpretation of the Tree of Knowledge warms my heart and lets me revisit the faith of my dear Mother. Thank you, Rabbi Friedman 🙏

one day people eyes will open there are many interpretations, do investigate the original sourse of scriptures with our increasing knowledge meanings of words

This is sooooo amazing

Having read the Old testament I'm confused on where it says all of this detailed information. Nowhere have I read that Adam and Eve were two souls in heaven given the mission to come down here. What I'm saying is this information is coming from somewhere else besides what I've read obviously and I'm just trying to find out where does this information come from.

I love it, thank you.. YHWH bless you more wisdom Rabbi Manis!

That's y they're lost till date. He is mocking God and his word. God doesnt need excuses n play skits.

Shalom Rabbi, we need the spanish translate version of this.
