As a Christian I've learned more listening to you than I've ever learned going to church

As a Christen one needs to have a Rabbi to understand the Bible better❤

Thank you for sharing your knowledge regarding the actual beginning, this has been very helpful to me......May you be blessed always by God.

Thank you rabbi Friedman for the time sharing Hashems beautiful word 🌷🌷

I’m here because of this verse Hosea 4:6 I’m trying Father 🙏🏼💝

Thank you thank you so much learning so much and keep learning don't ever stop right very grateful for the knowledge you've shared with us thank you thank you

Just a few items for clarification… In Bereshit the word ‘bara’ is an imperfect construction grammatically-speaking, meaning (‘when [ELOHIM] began to create’) the point being ‘the land was empty & formless and darkness was over the face[s] of the Tehom’ [‘watery abyss’]… Interestingly there are a number of ‘Babylonian’ loan-words in Genesis chapter 1 whose writing style resembles that of the ‘mad prophet’ Hezekiel c. 540 BCE (Hebrew Tehom = Aramaic Tehomah is cognate with the Babylonian goddess of Chaos (‘Tiamat’) Mosaic authorship of Torah is a subject for another thread & is refuted by internal & external evidence but that’s for a later chat… But the whole subject of ‘pre-existent material’ in Genesis 1:1-3 begs the question WHO created the Tehom & WHEN did it spring into existence ? Why would ELOHIM brood over this pre-existing Chaos material in the dark like a dove over her nest since a plain reading of the text implies that the Tehom[ah] seems to have been pre-existent BEFORE Elohim ‘brooded like a dove over the face[s] of the Tehom’ Another issue that educated persons have with Rebbes mentioning ‘antisemitism’ & ‘the holocaust’ in the same sentence as Torah is of course the racial extermination & genocidal policies of YHWH through Moses in Torah-portions such as Deuteronomy chapter 7, the middle of chapter 13 & chapter 20-all Torah which makes Adolph Hitler’s Mein Kampf read like a walk in the park : ‘Thus saith YHWH you shall utterly exterminate the Canaanite tribelets inhabiting the land that was promis’d to you as your inheritance … you shall shew NO MERCY AT ALL to any of them but you will genocide them all-men, women, children & animals leaving nothing alive that breathes under the vault of heaven … you will plough’d their domiciles into powder so they can never be re-inhabited but shall remain a ‘perpetual ruin’ …’ And as for the Torah’s genocidal stance on ‘Amalekites’ any Torah observant Jew will have to re-read those passages carefully on his own because Rebbe’s dislike being reminded of the wording of ‘the perpetual command to wipe them all out’ It seems orthodox Torah abiding persons hold a double standard in this and many other cases in their warped Weltanschauung

You are making Gods word relate to every person.

As a Christian I as well and learning a lot listening to choose the chosen ones . Which actually makes sense, however I thank God that I am adopted into the fold

Thank you Rabbi Friedman!! ✡️🙏♥️🔥 A great day and week for you and all here!! 💪Shavua Tov!!🎶

I've never heard this interpretation before and I've listened to other Rabbis and Hebrew scholars. It would be nice to hear a complete breakdown of Genesis 1 and 2 for more clarity.

He is absolutely right when he says our creator needed to have the desire. I was taught that we were created by his intent which is really saying the same thing. ❤

Thank you, Rabbi.

What a wonderful explanation

Love your erudition and explaining Torah in most basic understanding Thanks Rabbi

love you teaching Rabbi be blessed

I am blessed. Thank you rabbi.

Thank you Rabbi.

Thank you for sharing this information with me.

To all the non hebrew speakers here remember he speaks in Ashkenazi European Jewish dialect, so when he says "shmos" (exodus) it's actually shmot שמות, here in Israel that's how most of us talk especially non orthodox. Genesis as well, not "bereishis" we say more correctly "bereshit" בראשית AT THE beginning

Thank you rabbi

I never read the bible so much before,coz i just couldn't connect things. But after hearing you explain , i was able to get a better perspective of what God wanted me to know. Yes, Making Progress!,as you said about the fourth book, i have started spending more time reading the bible and other books in the bible not just the TORAH. Thank you, God bless you.

After a voice came to me a few years ago which was called One, I been on the hunt ever since to know and feel everything pertaining to Oneness. It's literally a hobby at this point to understand the greater meaning of it all. I lately have found a whole treasure trove of information about Echad. I understand it completely, yet I can't understand enough. It's like God or what I like to refer God as One is showing me things in a process because there's certain points in my life's circumstances that are received better than others. I'm not ready to receive it all at once. It's literally a process to understanding the process of information to behold. I was told that we are many of One, everything is of One, which means Oneness with One. That's what Echad means to me. It's the encompassing all and everything in this Universe. But the etherical Universe from what I gathered has many versions of One. I feel like that's the concept I gathered from being shown and told. I even heard that the holy Trinity could be in reference to Echad, but I know that it's actually a wayyy bigger picture than that. It's because we are many, and there's many physicalities in which refer to reality in our Universe. It all exists because of One's idea, then applied thought, then manifested thought to make it all possible. I was told that the past is the future and the future is the past. Which means that all is as it ever was and is going to happen. Although we have freewill choices, all leads to a pinnacle point in the end. Whether we choose option's A or B choices it's the same in the end. Or not so much an end, but a new beginning. I just wanna say that the voice that came to me, I felt that it was God. It's an experience that I have never felt before, well maybe 2 other instances before. But it feels like I'm here, but also some place else. Between two worlds when it happens. I can't help myself to notice and take note to things that are shown to me and make sense to be true via of feeling it true with all my heart's intent that it's no other than truth. I feel like there's others who have had experiences like mine, but perhaps they feel fear to speak about it. I don't fear anything because I believe in Oneness with One. It's as real as real can get. I subbed to hear, listen, and learn more teachings.

Thank you ❤really appreciated the lesson something to think about

Thanks to Elohim for this Rabbi.

Why would 'God want a dwelling place in the lowest world'? What emotion could underlie such a desire? Typically, desires stem from emotions, and if we are indeed created in His image, this should apply to God as well. So, what emotion could have triggered this longing for a 'dwelling place in the lowest world'? Was it loneliness, sadness, or perhaps a sense of imperfection? And if that's the case, what prompted such feelings in God?"

God Bless You Rabbi. I am not Jewish. I am Christian. However I have a very Deep and Unmoving Love for The Jews. I will live and Die with this Truth in my heart My Friend. God Bless You.

" THANK YOU SIR FOR REVEALING THIS TRUTH. " "

Love the lesson I was so interesting thing I did not know I am grateful for your time to help me with god wanting us to learn through your thank you so much God speed thank you rabbi .

Thank you Rabbi…

I always thought it was the beginning of our relationship with HIM...

Aam Israel Khai. Rebe agroise yashir koyakh. Unbelievably beautiful explanation...Gitten vokh. 07/16/2023

Another question(s): If there are no names in heaven, why would God give himself a name through the scriptures? I find it interesting the four book is named Desert, yet labeled as When. I appreciate the Torah explanation, I've learned, I just like to question. I like the name Exodus, since for me it has a deeper meaning, the Lord wrestle with Israel complaints during 40 years, if I'm not mistaken, during that time many of them went back to Egypt within their hearts, they wanted to leave God more than they wanted to leave the slavery, is there a more real Exodus than leaving God from the heart?

I loved this, is there a part 2?!

TWO WAY CONVERSATION I'm in ! Look forward to it!!!

Technical advice to improve audio quality: First acquire a very sensitive microphone and then record a herd of cattle walking over cobblestones. Then invite a gifted, knowledgeable speaker - and after doing a video recording, superimpose the cattle soundtrack over top of him speaking at top volume. This should help!

Angeles do have names, wake up people , not only listen read for yourself , the stars have names .

True this is deepening my faith

Thank you

Thanks Rabbi🎉🎉❤

Shalom, Toda Rabbah

In the physical world God is the firmament and the earth and the sky and the planet and everything,. Also the "spiral in the sky" described in Ezekiel.

Genesis/Γένεσις in Greek, does not mean "beginning". It means "creation".

Thank you Rabbi

Thank you Rabbi!

Wonderful communicator.

Thank you!

JEHOVAH GOD HAS NAME❤❤❤

Peace be to you.

To exist requires thought first.

Thanks for sharing....

Rabbi, you have many answers, and can you explain how the image got onto the Shroud of Turin?

❤❤❤❤❤ my mentor.

Dear Rabbi, the Bible says there are no "souls" in heaven. The Bible says that man was created from dust and God breathed in to him the breath of life and man became a living soul. Dust+Breath= Living soul.

Yes, my personal feeling was that God planned it out before he started actually creating it.

Correction: the 12 tribes make up the isrealite people. Not the jewish people

THANK YOU 😊

So if God did not tell us the 'actual beginning' who are you then to tell us what happened before the beginning? Where did you get this from? Who told you or revealed this to you, or you are just making this up with your own mind?

The Jews knew of ancient literature before the Hebrew scriptures were ever written. It is not surprising the Hebrew scriptures borrowed heavily from them and verbal mythology. It was crafted for a control of the masses.

Thanks

You should be teaching about Isaiah53 especially verse 8at the end

Yes I think if you take in the beginning as in the beginning it really wouldn't make sense. Some people think because dinosaurs roamed the earth that God couldn't exist. Very practical views rabbi and here and now is of great importantance but where we differ is the value of faith!

“Know is the wrong word. Believe would be closer. True? Only God knows.

Hello Rabbi

HOW do we know these things? Holy Spirit revelation, or someone else taught/wrote it?

Where does he get that souls exist in heaven before they come to earth?

You are fotogenic shalom gr. Salomon

I think this rabbi told the best joke about souls in Heaven : A woman goes to a psychic and says she wants to cintact her deceased grandmother. The psychic agrees and takes her fee. Suddenly from somewhere the woman hears a voice. “ Hello my child.” Is that your grandma? “ Yes my child. It is I.” Grandma. When did you learn to speak English?

A tale of a tale of a tale. Although we still have much to learn, we do have the science of cosmology and the science of evolution that provides a more plausible explanation than the imagination of god botherers.

I would rather listen to these rabbis than any Christian. I have never heard them or any Christian say why God created the universe. I could make a guess. It’s all around you. What am I? Chopped liver?

rabbi I see a spot on your forehead I hope you are OK health wise? My spouse got a spot and 3 years later cancer took his body I ask because I care! I am enjoying your videos thank you for enlightens me it makes more sense than what everyone keeps saying be good or you go to hell?

Dig your teaching

If a name is only necessary for a soul coming down into a body and not heavenly beings, then why a name, in fact, many names for God, and such emphasis on the treatment of His name as much or arguably greater than the treatment of Him. Call upon His name, ask in His name, bless His name, praise His name, the Kohen Gadol being the only one permitted to speak the Ineffable Name on Yom Kippur, etc.

This very enlightening, but the endless movements is quite distracting. Sounds like someone is walking on the table.

Rabbi I will join sounds perfect ty maybe I can also give help as I am a software engineer ❤

Wisdom

I wonder why the emphasis on the design of the tabernacle, is there a deeper teaching there?

The basic problem with this, is that the plan and creation were/are simultaneous and synergistic.

How much influence did Phoenicia have in Judaism

If angels don’t have names, what about Michael, Gabriel etc? Thank you ☺️

Thank you……..one plan, nice to know

What about the angels, Michael, Gabriel and Raphael?

I believe you are right that God had His plan before creation. I believe God the Spirit, God the Father,God the Son make a plan for creation.

Holy Roman Catholic jew German secular Jew Israelite holy Jew Russian Orthodox Jew Mishnah Arabic Jew No aboriginal Jews ? How were you chosen exactly? You shared and lived with those around you? Your acceptance of others ? The use of governments to stop those destroy social standing of history? A light was is I have one of them A burning bush Also have one of them Your piece of string is no longer than mine On the contrary it’s a lot shorter Sorry your out of the club For trying to own it

👏👏 very good .. but just like all religions it just attempts to explain who , why , what happens .. and all these religions are formulated in the minds of humans ..

One vision. One Job. Let cause and effect do the work. Karma, right?

Your videos are so interesting but I can barely hear you.

Why is there a bandsaw in the background?

His "purpose of creation" is way off the mark. 10:43

A lot of things I have come to found out is words actually have one to two or more meanings. Just like democracy. You can't even trust the dictionary any more...You have to do your own research on the actual meaning itself of the word you are looking for.😆😆

What about Gabriel and Michael and Lucifer, if no angels have names...

How to reconcile taming earth for God's arrival and the damage done to earth by man's greed and narcissism. Did God's plan fail? What am I missing?

❤‍🔥"...Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not." ( Luke 17:9 ) It was magical for me reading that passage today 'cuz it helped to spur on some other supposedly Anglo words, like "trek, "slog" and "winnow." Come let us meditate on the word. 🦚🐥

You are an inverted man!

I am not that knowledgeable, but in the Torah books there are words that nowan cannot translate or know the meaning of. I wish to know if any work hase been done on that, thanks and love to all.

god is all, all, wverthing that is and will ever exist. We are part of god. God has fo come go noware as he is all.

Thanks for the general explanation. Does the Torah account for Adam and Eva? Are they part of the detailed plan in the beginning. In Greek we understand the definition of genesis to be the "birthing" of humanity. It is specific to animate being, more specifically to "mankind".

🙏🤗💕💕💕

with the limits of what a person is allowed access to knowledge it has its restrains and one can only understand from within those limits. lacking the fundations of stories that existed before the stories in the bible was written or existing parallel to those stories would lead to wrong conclusions and bring people into darkness. the enemy of history is the clensing of knowledge that is not accepted by a certain set of books that originally was based on older stories that later was discarded as falsehood. books that would shed light on the origin of the religious scripture were burned and destroyed trough out history. it was religion that destroyed our real history in the first place and created a very narrow narrative of the past that would not include stories that would have destroyed the teachings of the theology. do not judge others in a negative light and share peace and love to all of mankind.

If the angels have no name how do they identify themselves ? Are theirs purposes their denominations ?
