The Story of Jewish Music Legend, Avraham Fried | Meaningful People #82

Avraham Shabsi Friedman, better known by his stage name, Avraham Fried, is a tremendously popular singer and shaliach. Avraham was encouraged to pursue a music career by Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the Lubavitcher Rebbe. His career was jump started with the release of his first album No Jew Will Be Left Behind in 1981
Avraham is the youngest of eight children of the illustrious Friedman family.
It has been said that “Avraham Fried is the least lazy person in the industry, the constant practicing, learning to dance, the voice lessons- his story is a story of tenacity and hard work.”
His trademark humility, energy, and passion continue to inspire thousands and thousands of Jews worldwide.

[@Mmlip358]

An amazing interview with an amazing incredible person

[@kesemmiahetsrony5479]

I am a big fan of both R' Avraham Fried and The Meaningful People Podcast! Regarding the Baby Shalhevet song: As a bereaved mother, please let Avraham Fried know that parents never forget the loss of their child. There is no need to fear reawakening the pain. Hashem has blessed us with the incredible capacity of carrying pain and loss while being able to embrace joy and positivity. It is heartening and when people acknowledge the children who have passed and keep their memory alive. There are many misconceptions of dealing with a bereaved parent. Remembering a person's child for good - in life or lhavdil thereafter - is always appreciated and wanted. For all us bereaved mothers, recording Shalhevet with this understanding would mean a lot.

Avraham fried one of a kind. I have already some white hair and avraham fried is singing professionally for longer than I'm alive. Always on TOP of his game. A gift from God!

[@avrumietreuhafttravel]

Yes Avraham I would remember you you for making my day and giving me chizuk! Singing on a song for me (Always with you) and always showing such genuine love and care!

[@cindyperlow6450]

This was my favorite interview so far. You inspired me to learn more about Avraham fried. His music does touch my soul. I'm not a part of the orthodox community, but I am on my own jewish journey to lift my neshama.

[@KolBneyNoah]

you should be Mazliacha! Good luck!

[@shimonrosenberg1943]

This was a very heartwarming episode. Avraham is the highlight of authenticity. That dancing was amazing.

[@yipirinya1]

Thankyou Meaningful People ...both interviewers do excellent job..love from Australia..

[@cweiser6659]

Wow amazing, Avraham Freid what an inspiration. And yes the dancing made it just so real, good yiddishe music is a simcha machine.

[@shloimekaufman]

There are no words for the amazing human and JEW that is Avraham Fried!! And like he said, today all singers/performers are Rebbes! That would make him the Rebbe of Rebbes!! HUGE zechus to have the chance to shmooze with him and it didn't disappoint!! THANK YOU!!

[@ishtov22]

He's very special!! Thank you!!

[@Judys_Jewish_Music]

WOW!!! Love hearing this advice from Avremel- To other (younger) singers- “Stay Positive. Focus on chizuk & joy. Stay away from Sad music.)

[@shimonrosenberg1943]

Avraham once came to my nephews bar mitzvah after they met on stage once. He sang for free and made his day. He is an ish hachesed with a warm heart. I had tears when he said what he wants to be remembered for. Brucha v' hatzlucha, Chazak were the albums we grew up on. My favorite song was Adon Hashulem. I still sing it by the seuda. Brucha V'hatzlacha had don't hide from me. Boy was that a song. Avraham was our inspiration growing up. He is so unique. Thank you for bringing him on the show.

[@josephklein8692]

Amazing interview with the one and only Avraham Fried...I grew up listening to his songs especially when Chazak Album was released... Keep it going Avremel!

[@CM-mm3co]

Thanks for an amazing podcast, Avraham Fried is the best! Loved his songs growing up and now my kids listen to him as well. A point he mentioned about us talking openly to Hashem in songs these days, I think he started the trend after his song "father don't cry, I love you too much to see you in pain". I remember it being very different, unique how he addressed Hashem so directly and openly then... Keep inspiring us all all and may you be zoche to sing the shir chadash with Moshiach now!

[@HR_BH26]

Wow 🥰 thankful to this interview Friedman gave me strength and inspired in every song he had when I'm in bad situation before, really amazing and empowered my life Baruch Hashem

[@monkeybizz77]

*NICE! nice guest, nice interview, and nice lighting finally. Camera placing getting better. Still to improve many aspects of it, so it is more pleasant to watch.. THANK YOU.* The new host *MOMO is VERY GOOD.* And *Avraham Shabsi Hakohen Friedman is AMAZING, so heartwarming and inspiring, humble and real.* He is no actor, but when he performs he is IT. He is showing the real self. *Avraham Fried touches us in real with no fake act at all.* He is pure music and on tune. Where can we get more of him?!. His latest album as far as I know is PROJECT RELAX “Noichach Pnei Hashem - Tatteh ich geb far dir myn Gantza Hartz!” “Lomu Puneichu Tastir.. Hein Babikoo Hein Buhorr”.. *How about “Teka Bezhoifor Gudoil..Nem inz shoin AhHeim..MeHeiro, MeHeiro Me’arba Kanfois.. Bashefer Nem unz shoin alleh by der hannt un breing unz Shion Tzurik AhHeim”!* And so many more. Even the song “invei Hagefen.” He is singing so warm close to the heart with the real Chassidish heimish warmth. And the AH MECHAYE *Song. and Mein Tefilin!* “Kol Hu’Oisek Batora Ugmilus Chasodim Umispalel im Hatzibur!.. “FATHER DONT CRY!”, *Aad HEINU!! Wo!* “Yuchid Vrabim Halucha Krabim! and the song *V’Shomru Bnei Yisroel! Ufrois Uleinu Sukkas Rachamin with Chazonos Shtikel* . Why not more chazunnos when you are so good at it! You are hiding there Reb Avreimal! WHY???! “Aderaba SheNireh Kol Echod” Shock penetration song. And *the “Ah Michayeh א מחי׳” Album is totally vibration or warmth chassidish Heimish..*With the Zeida and the Bobba making Shaleshiddes and melava Malka!* Reb AVRAHAM FRIED are you reading this!? Come out of your shell more and *storm us with the real Zaftiga Vareme Penetrating Chassidisha Alter Heim kind of songs* full fledge full blast. DONT LET THE MIXER DIMINSH YOUR VOICE AND ALL THE SPARKLES. Dont let them narrow down. *Please Do a CD (or record plata) with just musical natural real instruments like London Pirchei Ma Novu Al Hehorim made. A base, simple drum, violins cello, Piano/organ and your full voice. THANK YOU for your real warm singing.* Hashem should grant you with Chayim Toivim Vsimcha and health with nachas from ALL YOUR CHILDREN Tora veYiras Shomayim, Avoda , Gemilas Chasodim all with chasidus with ALL Einiklech and we bekorov see and meet Moshiach Tzidkeinu Veyr Very soon Mamash. אָמֵן *Anyone agrees?* Feel free to voice your vote.
