55 years and 14 children later, father reveals the SECRETS to success

[@rafaeldahldavid609]

So your slowly changing my entire mind and life. I’m Jewish born in the UK. Jewish parents divorced when I was 2 and I was raised by a Christian man. I am now living in Israel. Just discovered god. I need a teacher as I’m lost. I wish you were in Israel. I wish I knew how to deal with life as a Jewish man. Any help would be valued at the highest levels

[@avivacohen8785]

Contact your local Beit Chabad where you live Maybe they can direct you. Ask about English speaking programs by Chabad Very helpful people Good luck

[@chanagamlielmyparochet4807]

Try Aish HaTorah in Jerusalem. Good luck!

I lost my son’s father in 2008… I feel I have lost my soulmate… I wasn’t raised Jewish, but I feel drawn deeply. I don’t totally understand your story, but want you to know that you are not alone in your uncertainty. I am sending you love ❤

[@HopeGilliland-l2m]

I don't agree with you saying if you were the husband you wouldn't come home, she probably doesn't want to be there herself.

Fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom. You will love the LORD you G D with all your heart, soul and strength. Fear leads to respect and love demands respect.

[@quicknotesmedia9540]

I would love to hear his wife speak too. She is the amazing being you bear and raised 14 children. When does Rabbi have time to spend and talk to his wife when he’s working to provide for 15 mouths, not including his. My ex husband is a pilot. We had 2 children and he was barely home. He speaks wisdom and makes sense but it takes both individuals to make it work. Not to discredit his credibility. I will apply these words and advice into my current relationship and I have been. My relationship is fantastic. He is my true soulmate. My ex was a catalyst for my true soulmate who I am with now.

[@claudiaabadi3014]

Thank you, Rabbi Friedman, for your guidance. When I was 17 just before going into the army my father who was religious man set me down and told me " if you will not demand respect you will not get it and how you behave and treat people is part it". This advice served me well all my life.

Im very grateful for the words of the rabbi and Ivespecially like his humour😂, but is every marriage doomed that isn't built on religious faith or of the same faith?

[@jeanannedupratt7075]

Here is a question : in today's world, women work. Couples arrange to share household + couple duties. Did this situation exist in your life, as a father of 14 children. Yes, men get grandiose with Time. Egos get blown up. There is always a dominant. And someone who is supposed to shut up + give in. How can we navigate marriage in today's world, without delving into ideal situations and hypothetical scenarios please ? We are human beings. Tasks should be shared. If we put patriarchal + matriarchal positions aside, what would a modern day marriage look, feel + be like ? Remember, we are all unique (according to God's plan) and have different needs. And emotion rules us when we are in need and under stress. Women have egos as well. It is known that men + women are wired differently. It is often felt and observed that men + women are brought up differently. There is proof that equal opportunities exist but are remunerated on differing scales, depending on gender identities. Thank you for addressing this question (these questions). Jean Anne Du'Pratt Thank you.

Interesting my wife and I maintain a polygynous outlook even though she is my only wife I could say this and she has no concerns because she knows that even if I was to complement another she is assured of her position and secure in her relationship with me. Having Torah values removes western mindset problems for both men and women.

Last I checked God isn't telling us which individual person he wants us to marry, so yes, We choose who we marry. God then expects us to stay with them and make it work. In my experience women have done the insecurity to themselves. As far as I know my parents never spoke to each other, but I do remember a time mom said no, so I went to dad, he said what did your mother say. Obviously I a child told him she said yes. So he said yes. Never consulted her or anything. My family has always talked to each other from different rooms. Mom still does with me. I can't hear he around 3 corners and 6 fans but she still gets angry when you don't automatically respond. Doesn't the bible obligate you to honour you father and mother? Its one of the 10 commandments and I'm pretty sure there's a verse in Deuteronomy about it and everything.

[@Y1836Y]

Your ideas aren't Tiorah based. The rabbi is teaching Torah. The concept of honoring parents is one of the most complex mitzvahs to observe.

"successful marriage" is a notion that people talk about a lot. But, what are the parameters of a successful marriage? Is marriage meant serve our own senses , sex etc... or ego, services from the life partner, public image,... Or for emotional, psychological needs, not being able to live alone, feeling shame of being single while all around are married, status etc... Or it is purely meant to serve the supreme lord? ONLY if it is meant to serve the supreme lord, it is considered as PIOUS, in other cases, it can not be considered as PIOUS.
