I am a Christian. I saw and heard you Rabbi several years also several other Rabbis including Tovia Singer and Michele Skoback. The Jewish version of the Holy Scriptures are awesome. and the explanations are worthy enough to find the creator, the God of Abraham Issac and Jacob. The oneness in God. Your teachings are extraordinary Rabbi, continue your good work.

Body and Spirit = Living Soul.When you die, you are no longer a Soul. The spirit returns to God, and the body returns to the ground.

why cannot we just admit we have no idea

This opened my eyes! I was born Jewish. Didn't practice much. Keep finding myself out of place at any church. The people are always very inviting but, I still feel out of place. I didn't practice the Jewish Faith much growing up because I didn't like school and was given the choice to continue Temple or not by age 11. I still enjoy Christmas with friends and family but, now that I'm 42yr old I'm going to go back to Temple and see how it makes me feel. I've lost both parents and feel sooo alone and want to turn to GOD in a comfortable way. Church is really okay but, I do not think it's my ultimate answer.

i take it as a jewish perspective and i respect it. i was very curious and wanted to know. Thank you for making this video.

I can't understand people in the coments saying that it doesn't make sense. This makes perfect sense, it way more oogical and obvious than the Christian perspective.

I don’t agree with communicating to dead part. Torah says that it shouldn’t be done be cause they know nothing and can’t help you. It’s like idolatry to do that.

I love rabbi friedman. He is connected to god. A truly great teacher

Basically with all these contradictions I'm getting the sense that no one knows.

I don't hear the Glory being given to God. I hear a human centered excuse to honor the sinful flesh and a desire for the body to continue performing traditions and rituals beyond death. I hear a focus on the rewards of heaven for the human, not a rejoicing in finally being nearer to God. Beware the leavening of the Pharisees and read your own Bible/Torah and pray for wisdom and understanding of the Holy Spirit to find God's Truth. Be still and listen to God's quiet voice and personal message to do God's will. Don't rely on the corruption of a watered down explanation by a human who you have no way of knowing if their names are written in God's book of life, or if that person is really being used by Satan to decieve you by offering you the forbidden fruit of the "tree of knowledge."

Shalom Rabbi you're teachings are so unique you though us where we have been never thought before the World is so proud of you Keep up the good work May Hashem to gloryfy you Shalom.

Salaam.. In islam there is concept of "BARZAKH".. as soon as you die the barzakh life starts and you are questioned about your religion and deeds.. and then on that basis u have to bear torture(in case of bad deeds) or enjoyment ( in case of good deeds) till the day of resurrection! On that day for bad people there is a very painful place which is full of torture and for good people there is heaven which is full of blessing!! I request all of my brotheŕs and sisters in humanity to please read Holy quran once it may guide you to truth in sha Allah... REGARDS A MUSLIM.. PEACE..😊

Don’t fear death! Live well and be rewarded!

this is so interesting to me! as a muslim i always thought our religions shared a very similar understanding of afterlife but im finding out its much more different than i thought. thank you so much!! ☪️❤️✡️

Thank you, Rabbi Manis for your amazing explanation of the amazing people we are! Now, if my soul will keep encouraging my body to keep moving, we last as a great partnership until we are at least 120 years young! This sounds like I'm talking to myself, just saying.

0:25 to 0: 35 In hinduism people cremate the body into ashes so the soul knows that its vessel has been turned into ashes and its time to move on to the next realm... 1:32 In hinduism we perform prayers and food for the soul for 13 days and light oil fire and also add vessel of water for the soul and perform big ceremony on 13th day . Every Year on the death anniversary we have to perform a ritual to satisfy our ancestor who came before us by doing homs and puja and offering food and water.. As per "Garud Puranas " the book of death " a soul comes back on 3rd day after the death of physical body.

I like the Jewish perspective on the afterlife

Do you believe heaven and hell?how would you know if you will be in heaven or hell when you die?

How does he know? Pretty interesting for someone who has never been dead.

Thank you Rabbi

In islam after death your soul will be in grave with the body until judgment day God whill recreat every dead body from there grave for judgment day where everybody judged for what they done in life And then with that other body we go to heaven or hell forever ... Some even go to hell at first then go to heaven for there sin is more then there good deeds ...

Why don't we ask so many who already dead and gone for factual information? When we die, how can we care about such a 'profound' question as you are raising here? Worried about going to 'hell'?

Near death experience survivors say losing the body is like removing the clothes, and has that little worth to the soul/spirit.

Thank you.

Thank you rabbi you have answered another question for that I've asked God for he's giving you the answer to give to me thank you

Excellent! Don’t forget to serve yourself so you have it to give!

the soul has a incredible intellegence it knows what to do !

Thanks Rabbi,your explanations solves my confused questions.

What about Reincarnation where the soul has had many bodies throughout time?

We do NOT die! Body does. Death is dead. Life lives! Which One are You?!

The resurrection is what is also spoke of in the new testament. Man's tradition and pagen mythical ideas corrupted ppl to think this eternal heaven hell stuff is in the Bible. It's not even mentioned as an idea. Ppl have just been taught to see it that way. Eternal resurrection is the only thing taught. all (good and evil) will be resurrected together and judged. The evil will have a second death and be no more.

It's amazing Islam and judiasim has so much in common

The fact that he thinks God is needy of his call or prayer is such an arrogance!!! God is the Master of the universe whom all creatures need, and He needs none of them/us!!! If you think you don’t need God, think of who makes your heart beat? Who produces oxygen? Who brings water down from the sky? Who causes the seeds to grow from the earth from which we make bread? The list is endless.

What is your source for this, Rav Friedman? That the soul retains an attachment to the body..

We do not know. Until someone comes back and tells us then we will find out. Until then it is nothing but a myth

You are not Jewish what makes you think you understand anything about souls or minds and you don't have any how can you understand what is hidden from you,read all the books or listen to any rabbi you will still don't understand and here comes bad thoughts,something is around you always hidden from sight it gives you what you need to understand or not and you without mind or soul it thinks you don't exist

Rabbi, I will be bored in heaven and come back right away. Why wait for Mesheach? Can I come as a new infant, and maybe in the same family and continue to serve?

That’s sounds horrible! The soul is just hanging out in the graveyard for years? How would heaven be s joyous place if it is aware of its loved ones on earth in pain because of our death. The Bible says: the living know that they shall day but the dead know not anything. God made the body from the dust of the ground and breathed into it the breath of life and man became a living soul. A soul is a body from dust plus Gods breath. When you die, you go back into the ground and the breath returns to God. The dead are asleep and no nothing until God returns again raises them to judgment.

This illustrates that at the end of the day, no matter how you cut it and what mental gymnastics are employed by the apologists - if you take the belief out of Judaism it doesn't make sense/work. That is true for basically any religion. Today it masquerades as a "logical" interpretation of the world/reality through some very smart people. "Judaism is what you do not what you believe" is a common motto. However one cannot do without believing in god, the Torah, the Talmud - therefore belief is everything in Judaism. PS - this applies to Christianity and Islam as well.

How do you know? Did you ever die? No one knows! How come there are movies, books etc. about Christian's dying, and experiencing heaven? Never see any Jewish people with such a testimony. Hey...no one comes back to complain. Lol.

ETERNAL PAIN IN HELL: And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever. There will be no rest day or night .....(Revelation 14:11)

Well now I'm confused. I thought Judaism made sense but now you are saying it's not about getting to heaven instead it's all about this earthly life.

IT ALL BELIEF NEVER A FACT- EVERYTHING IN LIFE HAPPENS NOW THAT FACT BECAUSE WE ALL SEE IT. ALSO heaven and hell is a state of mind that also happen in this life because we all see it -

Great insight as always Rabbi! Thank you.

I'm a Christian basically clinged to the old Jewish doctrines (convenanted church of God) basically called apostles Im really impressed with your presentation but I don't have clear channel to the book " creating the life that matters" so please help me ...I'm from Malawi in africa

Is it possible Rabbi that the soul is the source of our caring so it gives the physical body the ability and longing to be in relationship with others and with G*d? I can conceive of the idea that when enough good has been done an entity new physical world will be created with all souls and Mosiach in physical form. What the rules so to speak will be, the laws and the justice system will be is fascinating to consider. Yes G*d has the power to be a dictator but that is not the relationship he wants with the world because that would still leave him alone. Obedience and compliance is not a full relationship.

"Biggest miracle in the world." You sure your soul doesn't have an ego, Mr. Freidman?

The ruach (breath of life) returns to Yahweh until the resurrection.

There's certainly a Spiritual Heaven, and Hell

There are 84lakh species 1 soul travel through all species according to karma after death When good karma is done human life is given with brain Means u are conscious and know what Is good and bad and can choose good path in order to stop cycle of rebirth and permanently unite with god

Your Dajjal is gonna be in for a big surprise once Issa ibn Maryam PBUH arrives

I'm not Jewish, so i would just like some clarification. What is than the point of praying in Judaism. You say God wants you to. But what do you "get" out of it? From what you said it sounds like life will just go on without any intervention by God even if you need him. I might be all wrong about this. Thank you for your time.

What God said about life after death in Jews books??

I wish this is gonna be true cause eternity in torture is something cause me trauma just by thinking of it

if you lose your body in a house fire or dismemberment from explosives in war. Then what happens?

dif any of you guys dont believe in the Torah you should not watch him we the jews believe in our Toraha he is saying what the Toraha says Thank you Rabbie

Its as he sais ' What they believe' . Thats different to knowing. Just another version of a God. Be good to know, who is rjght. Billions of lost souls in the last couple of thousands of yrs. Help god

I'm here cus I'm curious about life after death

Correction: According to the TORAH, every human being is made up of his own unique "Body", "Nefesh-Chayyah" and an "Image of Elohim". After death, the human "Body" return to the ground, his "Nefesh-Chayyah" continue living thru his "Offsprings" and the "Image of his Elohim" return to its source, יהוה

Thank u for an amazing explanation

The old testament is the new testament concealed. The new testament is the old testament revealed.

jews and muslims are so similar.amazing

What happens to the souls of evil people?

Holding pattern is an aviation term, are you a pilot, Rabbi?

We are sparks placed here for a brief moment to accumulate light and warmth (love)...so that we can become as bright of a star as we can be...shining in heaven (joy, beauty and harmony). Love (god) knows every star by name. We accumulate light and warmth (love) by appreciating this paradise planet lifeboat and the miraculous works of fine art called "life" that inhabit it. If we extinguish our light and warmth (love) with "greed" and it's ignorance (hate)...we become the darkness and emptiness that surrounds the stars. Both here on this physical plane called earth like it is on the metaphysical plane we call heaven.

What happens if the body has been cremated?

I was so confused what Jews believed in because in Psalm 6 they bring up that no one praises god from Sheol then in Psalm 17 David brings up men who store their treasures in THIS LIFE implying that there is in fact an afterlife where we store our treasures. I suppose they could have just been using very poetic language in Psalm 6 to say "Dead people can't praise" lol

Interesting! So, given that Jews believe in reincarnation, would that imply that one soul has several bodies linked to it, over time?

hi dear, i am looking for the answer that is there any concepts of punishment in grave in Judaism, i ask a Christian he said there is not logic of punishment in grave but we followers of Muhammad (PBUH) use to believe that there is punishment in grave after death, we have hadith(words of Muhammad) that a jewish lady came to Muhammad and told about the punishment in grave. but i never read anything in Torah, Gospel or in Quran directly about punishment in grave.

What do you think ressurection is the birth of the body again with its spirit.

We had a other whose son died in traffic accidentsince i met her we knew that she would treat bad someone else son if she had contact with a son women told treated their son bad zfter many long years she came banging on my door,I did not open the door but talked to her behind the door,help me with my granddaughter her mother in law treating her bad,I said that I cannot do nothing ,I said,i" I helped you clean house ,did not need to but to help you I did,you only trusted me at your house,I gave you a present for your daughter and you never invited me or my husband to your daughters wedding feast,always you ask me to help,what do you think,me andmy husband dirt or your charity case,let me tell you,why we put up with your cruel talk and bitterness,because we knew like your husband that a mother does not see herson or daughter die before her ut now enough,no one killed your son,the accident ki.led your son and he wants you to be OK so he be OK zs he lives your son and one day you be with him forever yes and I saw her a out two weeks ago and talked to her abd I never seen such a beautiful face serene woman in all my life,yesterday I turned 70 and I said, is this a good dentist? Yes

Don't think I heard anything about hell

Wow that’s great

what happens when people die. well nothing happen. if there is a heaven and hell and we know if the torah is right about sin then it quite clear those who have stole cheated and robbed others of their wealth and belongings clearly go to gell as well as making fun of others in public. if god is real then there is no mangod that can challange god that will go to heaven and anyone who has worshipped a mangod will go the same place as those who did not go to heaven because worshipping a man as a god that is not god was the worst sin in the bible. the worst sin was when men made themselves god. if moral intelligence was more than average among all of the people in the world then people would know momentarely who are the sinners.

If a person is involved in bad doings and cheating to G-d laws without catching in this world , then it’s not against justice ?. I think afterlife is a mystery. It’s G-d portfolio and soul would be treated according to their deeds in this world . Justice not in this world but justice in G-d court ?. Soul is feelings in the body and that feelings would be rewarded and punished after life according to their deeds . Death is body without feeling and needs.

This man didn’t cite one verse? Lol, genesis 3:22

With all due respect, as I understand from the TORAH all Human beings has, "Body", "Nefesh-Chayyah" and an extra component, called "Elohim". After death, the "Body" return to the ground, the "Nefesh-Chayyah" continue to live thru the Human siblings and the "Elohim" return to it source, יהוה

what about people that have being cremeted whereis there SOUL,????????????

Rabbi said a detached soul cannot put on Tefillin on it's left hand, but strictly speaking it could be the right-hand also depending on the dominant hand What happens in the case of an ambidextrous body ? Which arm gets the Tefillin???

This is my belief on death issues

This information is not Biblical

How do we know the Rabbi is telling the truth? So far from my experience people of Semitic descent never say or do anything without personal gain or advantage over others. Interesting ideas otherwise.

what if body gets destroyed on atomic level like in a nuclear explosion and get scattered all over the place ... what happens when earth itself gets destroyed in 5 bln years by the growing sun ...

He seems so sure he knows.

Well america serves you

Maybe the soul does mitzvahs that can be done w/o a body. Heavenly mitzvahs if you will. Why not?

The delusion of eternity eternal souls, along with resurrection because the soul is lonely for the body... It is not possible to be more delusional than Rabbi Friedman. GROG

How about cremation??

Ecc.9:5 dead know nothing n are unconscious

AS. I. SAID. IN. AN. EARLIER. VIDEO. MY. AUNT. WAS. ABLE. TO TELL. HER. PARENTS. ABOUT. HER. DEATH. TIME. !! THE. ANGELS. PAID. MY. YOUNG. AUNT. A. VISIT. AND. SAID. THEY. WOULD. BE. BACK. FOR. HER. AT. 3PM. THAT. SAME. DAY THE. ANGELS. KEPT. THEIR. WORD. WHEN. AUNT. MARY. ROSE. DIED. BEFORE I. WAS. BORN. SHE. DIED. IN. THE. EARLY. 30s. From. PNEUMONIA. AT. THE. AGE. OF. 14.

his idea sounds allot like jehovah witness take on heaven on earth

Clement of Alexandria "God's punishments are saving and disciplinary [in Hades] leading to conversion, and choosing rather the repentance than the death of the sinner, and especially since souls, although darkened by passions, when released from their bodies, are able to perceive more clearly because of their being no longer obstructed by the paltry flesh." "If in this life there are so many ways for purification and repentance, how much more should there be after death! The purification of souls, when separated from the body, will be easier. We can set no limits to the agency of the Redeemer; to redeem, to rescue, to discipline, is his work, and so will he continue to operate after this life."

which branch of jews, this rabbi believes this way?

Nobody should be praying to a corpse anyways.... we should be praying to God for the salvation of the loved one's soul. This idea that the soul is attached to the body is rediculous. Where is the reference to that in scripture? If we are with God do we really care about the body? Probably not

milk and honey..........

I watched another video where you been explaining life and death but could not leave a comment there so here we are. I very much like your explaining things but some of them to me its just nonsense as you been explaining when resurrection comes the soul will unite with previous body which sounds really something weird so maybe needs to be counted how many people needs to be resurrected?! 🤔 What I don't like is when religions misinterpret things which clearly have no understanding. In the book of revelation it mentions that New Jerusalem WILL NOT have previous things like oceans, our sun etc.. All this can only mean that you will not need your nose as there will not be atmosphere or oxygen as the other parts of your body but instead you will be given another white clothes (new body) which clearly be different. Also it says in same book where souls demand revenge from the God and again it mentions the white clothes given to them. So you will not need to eat what we eat now and we will not breathe same air and we will not create family means no reproduction so why would we need to be resurrected just to be dismembered again from soul?! Doesn't sound in logic?! I'm not saying I have an answer but I'm sure most religions gets it wrong, well completely WRONG conception

I don't understand wouldn't we have many body's?

Sounds like christian priest and pastor

👍

Unbiblical beliefs. The Old Testament does not support this man's beliefs.
