He's actually right. Chassidus teaches that the Torah is G-d's Divine Wisdom, therefore when you learn Torah you learn the Wisdom of G-d and He and His Wisdom are not two separate entities but One.

[@christianali5431]

I would like one day to have a discussion with, or listen to someone like Rabbi Friedman discuss all of the things that Moshe learned from being Egyptian. He learned his basic literacy and numeracy from Egypt [when he measured the ark of Noach, he measured it in cubits]. He learned about existence after death. He learned that sin weighs down upon the human heart. He learned how to abstain from pork and to keep kosher [ancient Egyptian’s also did not eat pig]. He learned that some science, and some technology, had its place in Hashems world. Ultimately, the Egyptian Moshe taught the people of Israel that how they lived in this life mattered. That’s one of the reasons why Hashem let Joseph and his brothers come down to Egypt in the first place. Because Hashem knew that, in order to properly worship and sacrifice to Hashem, they had to be inspired by the Egyptian way of life.

[@leongreen5332]

Fascinating. Would love to know more

[@lettheriver]

Noah was before Moses.

[@christianali5431]

Are you trying to give positivity to the Egyptian way of life at that time? That's a stretch. People being grateful that they grew up, where they grew up, which is part of who they are. It's not who they are.

Even a Christian understands that the path to God is a narrow one. Thank you, Rabbi, for the lesson.

[@thesonsofliberty6205]

what do you mean by (the path to God is a narrow one) and can you give me an example please thank you.

[@shw8179]

@@thesonsofliberty6205 Most Christians are familiar with Yeshua's Sermon on the Mount, which is found in the gospels, particularly the Book of Matthew. And it is Matthew chapter 7, verse 13-14 which references the narrow path and the narrow and the wide gates to Heaven and everlasting life. Most humans travel along life's journey taking the wide and easy road, seizing the pleasures of life and not paying attention to the things that truly matter to the condition of the soul. When they eventually arrive at the wide gate to Heaven, they will find that they have not attained the price of admission, as they have not honored the Most High and kept His commandments. Those who have traveled the narrow path, endeavoring to not veer to either the left or right, will find that they will find admission through the narrow gate will be their ultimate reward, as they will be allowed into the presence of His kingdom and will have eternal life with the Father. May your journey be straight along this path, my brother.

I thought Pharaoh did not end up in the sea ! Did not HM sent him to NiNive ?

[@toren101]

Dear Rabbi Friedman, I didn't get it , if Pharaoh represents science, technology, utility and efficiency then the Egyptians did not dissappear.... this Pharaoh attitude still lives and kicks strong in the world...even in America of today...so it isn't that only the Jewish people and their Torah survived from back then, am I wrong? would appreciate your elucidation

[@seanleech8214]

The Egyptian power and superior culture did not last but was diminished by cosmic forces and the people reduced to subsistence living. Pharaoh [materialism] was adopted by Rome ,driven to new heights by Christian in Europe combining with inherited Jewish modes of thought . Then currently to the USA where it has been undermined as the primary concept. You may ask Rabbi Friedman or Amir Tsarfati ect what comes next.

[@GENRXNUTRITION]

Rabbi, how will recognize the scumbags that apparently poisoned me? I have a memory from a dream , in which I was looking at a wall with Egyptian hieroglyphs. I remember how fresh they were , the blue so vibrant as if was freshly painted. The walls had an amber glow as the reflection of flames flickered. I chanted repeatedly in a group " Anu, Metek?, Etek?,.. ? ....?" It was a verse not in English but the words rhymed and repeated over and over, until I became conscious of the repetition and awoke. Is there such a verse in existence? I associate Schwarze Sonne /Black Sun with the Black Sun of Thoth. The dark sun that is black in the center of the Earth that emits light that animates life. I also see a comparison between Solomon and Odin. My profile picture is something I once seen. First image I saw fire followed by a triangle with 6 at each point, then in my mind's third eye I saw a purple eye ball . Since that moment I realized everything is connected and even insects are on a divine path in their day to day existence.

[@levhdv2117]

Pre Islamic Persian cultural is very non influential

[@user-dz9yx3et9y]

​@@levhdv2117 you do know that Jusaism is mostly an Iranian conception as much as it is Abhrahamic? google How Persia Created Judaism: Persian and Jewish Religion by Dr. Michael David Magee, Persial culture and influence is vast and almost uncomprehendable, human rights is just one contribution to the world from Iran. Niche said we live in a Iranian culture and we cant see it, he never said that about the Judeo/Christian paradigm. I am half Jewish and I can say without Iranian philosophy there would be no Judaism as we know it, we also would be living in a much less graceful and more violent world. The Achaemanids, Parthians, and Sassanids, all pre-islam was titanically influencial and always had Jews working in collaboration.

[@jaspernewcomb5656]

What is Pharoah if you leave out the commentary found in the Talmud? Pharaoh is a Title claimed by a man that gave him the AUTHORITY to rule over the people in the City. That AUTHORITY came from the Serpent on his head. The wisdom of Pharaoh was the wisdom of Hermes which is still used today to describe the understanding of the GOD of the City. In the Bible it would be known as the GOD of the dead, the Unknown GOD of religion, the GOD of the good and evil. Moses led the people out of Egypt from under the shadow of the Pyramids and the Sphinx and the rule of Pharaoh, the City and into the desert which is to say Nature. When you look at what's going on today in the world where we are being told not to trust Nature and instead rely on men's science we are told is superior to Nature it's obvious what comes next. Nature always finds it's own balance and anything that doesn't bend to Nature's will is going to be destroyed. You don't want to be there and find out the hard way.

@@christianali5431 The sun is not RA, it is the material point to understand how the spiritual Sun works, wich is Ra, the human body over time blocked our custom to observe Ra, one day the Israelites repent and will turn to Toth, both use a serpent... Part of the world had to be disconnected from Ra in order to get Toth to be able to connect, same as Ra, but for a different Creation. Atleast something close to this. This is the whole purpose of mankind to be given freedom of choice, once reconnected we have no need to choose anymore.. and paradise can return...
