The only true human need: to know what we are needed for. My mind needs a reboot… blessed be G-d for eternity.

[@MariyaLoveyah]

The truth is that people should WANT to do Mitzvahs not because they expect the reward but because they want to please their Loving Father(Creator), because He created them for the purpose to give them the reward . So He really loved us first, so why shouldn't we love Him in return? I want to do as much as I can to show my love to G-d, I just wasn't taught properly how to do it. So if I am rejected by God because I didn't do Mitzvahs, it doesn't mean i will stop loving G-d, I'll just won't get a chance to be closer to Him. Doing Mitzvahs is exactly that: being closer to G-d. So i want to learn everything about how to get closer to my Creator.

[@Nicholas-Michael]

Yeah I said that, but in shorter words, but you are absolutely right.

[@franyk7071]

With all due respect, I firmly believe those of you knocking the text have a limited understanding of what the rabbi is trying to convey. Listen again. This may seem like a simple topic at face value, but his overall approach is quite interesting and carries weight.

[@joselourdes378]

but its not in english, so he selected his audience. i guess theres not much he wants dichotomised

[@DrKaii]

Yes, if you think about the standard teachings of who and what Hashem is in Jewish thought, everything he says is correct. It seems so out of place now, the almost stand-alone idea that Hashem doesn't need anything. It comes from the idea that Hashem is perfect, but perhaps the understanding of perfection is off.

[@franyk7071]

Perfection is intrinsically perfect. Consequently, hashem, can not need. He can, however, want. In our limited understanding of the divine, we must, unfortunately, make use of human terms and human language in its limited state to ascribe feelings to the divine in order to make sense of our place in creation.

[@DrKaii]

@@franyk7071 I thought you listened to the shiur, but either you didn't or just completely disagree with him, which isn't how your first comment sounded. What you just said is verbatim the statement that he laboured at length to dispel with argument after argument and example after example, the one that is taught in yeshivos

[@franyk7071]

I don’t necessarily agree with all of what he says, but am open to his understanding. In this reply I was merely echoing what most people hold. I hear what you’re saying, and tend to agree that we have a limited understanding of gd and gdly wants and needs.

So God needs others to be holy, to join Him in His need to be holy. Because needing to eat is not a need but a handicap. Whereas God who can choose He does not need anything, nor does He have handicaps. So if He commands you, therein lies His need, because being free neverthless still felt the need to command you to be holy, as He is holy. His need is truth, justice, mercy, kindness, love, laws, order, self control, patience, discipline, goodness, piety, devotion to right doing et cetera. God is obsessed with being Holy, He needs you to be holy, because he needs others to be holy, so He's not alone in doing holiness.

[@MaksimBabin]

Rabbi Manis, thank you for this post. G-d is love. I don’t love Him because He is love. I love Him because I am His creation, and He loves me because I am His creation. You said my King would take a bullet for me. What is the bullet? The bullet is death which Adam and Eve brought into this world by means of their sin - i.e. their choice to disobey. G-d had to kick them out of the Garden of Eden as they couldn’t remain in His holy Presence anymore being sinful now. From that moment on, humanity became forever separated from G-d. What does my King do to solve this problem of eternal separation? You said it! He comes down to earth to assume my place and take the bullet for me. But the most brilliant part is that by taking the bullet, He Himself does not remain dead, but rose again and lives forever. He is the High Priest Who has made atonement for Adam’s original sin as well as all of humanity’s sin. But just like Adam chose to disobey G-d’s commandment, we have to choose to accept His atoning sacrifice to live and be united with G-d again. How magnificent are G-d’s ways! Peace and grace to you from our G-d the Creator of the Universe.

In all fairness, muslim conception of God is Allah is rahman and raheem. Compassionate and merciful. Allah is Ahad. One, unique. None can be compared to Him. Allahu Samad. Ever-living, while all depend on Him for refuge. Allah is kareem. Generous. Al ghafur, forgiving. And Shia do not believe God has any eyes or physical body, or any place. I mention because he diluted tawheed to god is powerful. But there are some common themes between us, we believe this physical body is only for dunya. Then in barzakh, which is similar to the dream world, our soul takes on a different kind of body that matches the physics of that world. Then after we are resurrected, our soul returns to our bodies in akhira. To be in this kind of gan edem as he says

[@Uriel-Septim.]

"Remember that even when those who move you be Kings, or men of power, your soul is in your keeping alone, When you stand before God, you cannot say, "But I was told by others to do thus." Or that, "Virtue was not convenient at the time." This will not suffice" --The King of Jerusalem.

But over time when we grow up we obey our parent because of love and respect(leveticus 19:3). Just like our life. We all are a child in this world. God want us to obey him because of love not fear. And that is true love. Because people usually dont realise the gift from god which is our life. People think why should i obey this god i did not get anything from him? People forget about the gift of life.
