The story that brought a room full of prisoners to tears

[@manisfriedman]

What do you say about this?

[@hilarydrinkwater5392]

Life cannot be ruined by a second party ~ true Existence can be made miserable in the first person ~ also true NOTHING can deal with wet clay ~ better believe it. Satellite images in the possession of ** and ** and ** have confirmed that the major course of such a river runs through the present-day. The "GOLDEN-RULE" ~ the law of cause and effect, in their lives, rather than just paying lip service to it. ** ** ** is equal to Chequetet, Arelich, Volomites.

[@IamwhoIam333]

I say it takes a real man and a broken heart to realize this. I was married 20 years when my first husband was hit by a drunk driver just blocks away from her home and it devastated the whole family and it ruined the family unit. I'm grateful that there is a God listening to us. I always was taught that we were born to serve God in all things. Which means I am his Servant. Forgiveness goes along ways and people have to learn to forgive themselves once they ask God to forgive you. For God can forgive you who are you not to forgive yourself of your trespasses 🤔💭

The most brilliant conversation ever. I want to share this with everybody. Thank you gentlemen.

[@joycealdrich]

Thank you for this. There is a way to live a life worth living. I have had so much guilt about how I behaved with my ex husband and children, because of Mental Health issues. I like the idea of using guilt as a motivation for not behaving badly, in future. That, and using the DBT skills I learned, doing better and having true regret for how I hurt others, with my behaviour, is so meaningful. Service to others helps, too. Takes me out of myself.

[@GOITERBALL]

You and me both sister. We have a purpose💪🖤

[@joycealdrich]

@@GOITERBALL Yes. We are Souls on a mission.

[@PeaceIsYeshua]

@Joyce, bad people don’t care how they treat people. Good people have regret and guilt, and that’s you!! But, you don’t need to wallow in it! Make your apologies, but move on with JOY and PEACE that you are now a new person who knows better! That was the old you. ❤️

[@sfertonoc]

By the mere fact of recognition of the hurt you did, you are mostly in the clear. So many people out there still cannot even come out and reject the urge to say “I am a good person” , shutting ofd all arguments and discussions, and instead be honest and say “I have done some bad things but I am capable of seeing it when it happens, and so we can have a talk and dialogue now”. This is living and not the needy craving to exist and be counted (which is pathetic) that the Rabbi talks about.

[@sfertonoc]

@@PeaceIsYeshua I would not say move on, but use that to talk about it with the other person. Moving on lately has been abused to make people completely insensitive and callous - keeping people in their isolation. Sensitive people cannot move on and that is actually a quality, a handicap, perhaps, but not a disqualification. The idea of existing is to talk and even later on laugh with another about those events when our pride can be pathetic.

[@human-qp1mf]

I made it through 30 years or more of suicidal tendencies. I'm good now. It is possible to make it through! It actually has nothing to do with having no support, it something you have to do your self! I didn't want to die, I wanted the misery to end!!I'm just a strong human being!! Ugh😌 🙏💪💪💪💪💪 NOT!

[@jamesmichael2717]

Dear Kim I understand how you say. I myself had gone through the impossible. No I had gone through the possible. No I have been going through what the one told me to go through which is what. Service with humility bc scars on the outside are more hurtful than scars on the inside. Even though the scars on the inside want to say worse things. But anything is anything and we are not a slave to anything. Joyful living. Bc hope is recieviing at the right time when faith has been exposed as evident bc of others witnesses. Thanks for sharing

I have a quote for one of my very influential and inspirational guiding lights whom I consider extremely holy and that is Rabbi Manis Friedman whom I not only follow very intensely but take everything he teaches and talks about to the heart , mind and soul and goes without saying he’s a role model to me and I look up to , I am only a quarter Judaic bloodline but I consider that with the utmost pride I only wish I was full blooded! A little background on how and what gave me the ultimate inspiration on how I came up with this quote I had the unconditional faith in God , whilst I was also reading this documentary biography book of his divine grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada an extraordinary Hindu Spiritual leader who came over to the United States in the 60-70 s to spread the peaceful way of the Eastern Hinduism and so his excellence said that and recorded by one of his followers who helped write and document this extraordinary man which after I read in this book reworked a couple of kinks but very minuscule if you wanna call them alterations even . Nonetheless these were the elements at work when I came up with this quote I used to live by I hope he likes it ! It goes like this ; “I’m not a servant of God, I am trying to be a servant of God , a servant of God is no ordinary thing.” Maybe those such as the good Rabbi who have the faith and know what the good people want and more importantly God wants from His followers need will know what to do with this quote because I m no use for it anymore . It’s in better hands coming from the Rabbi Manis Friedman! Incase it’s stupid then I m sorry to have wasted your time !

[@sfertonoc]

Had the same experience during 2 events, one out there and one too much in here. One was a life after death experience where a voice was seeking like a good cop to use my words against me in a strange dialectic on overpopulation. I thank G_d I could not answer a “wise answer” in a way, because as I started knowing I was dying and could not breath, I immediately cried out through a silent distress like convulsion (assumably for help), and a big Hand from the sky came down and dragged me out this dry river bed of Styx by my hair and smacked my head with the last living plant uprooted and beheld and sacrificed before hell assumably, a punishment I welcomed happily as magnanimous (and the utter incredible gift of saving my miserable cowardly soul yet with the last living thing made me feel unworthy at the same time and blessed and loved nevertheless) compared to what was happening and I woke back up in my bed in the hospital in sufferance, but so happy of having been scolded back to life. The other story is less happy. I was in the middle of a mission on a FOB in Afghanistan and this FOB was a literal zoo. You had the Afghan police quarters which we were not allowed to interact with at the perimeter for obvious reasons, one which will be delt here. You had the Czechs who had hair dressers doubling as prostitutes because the Czech assign prostitutes for their battalion and you had the Jordanians jn the middle with a sort of walled off area reserved for exclusively and containing and retaining a bunch of women I assumed were their wife? Prostitutes too? I have no idea, it was a sort of harem off limits. Imagine my shock however one day I step out when I see in the middle of the US section an Afghan who had wandered off with half a dozen kids on my way from the showers to eat, right in front of our headquarters. What are they doing here? Then I see one of the oldest of those kids, very feminine and with ankle jingle bracelets and then the horror of the situation jumped on me. At the time I had been more than successful in my vow of chastity while serving already 7 months in that state, I had completely erased all impulses via various strategies to the point of risking damaging my own health, and so, I thought I was going to be able to handle the situation with ease and alert authorities, but that horror of a pimp who had wandered off the Afghan Police station where this was apparently common; and this fat disgusting soulless individual of incredible cunning and evil somehow managed to read me immediately and disarm me of my strong points and resolve to clear the situation by cynically putting his hand on his heart as if to signify that I was too strong and needed love, which, of course, I was not going to put up with as I brandished the butt of my rifle in a way to tell him to not even approach me. However, it was a common witchcraft or psychological lure these parts used, because what this piece of sht managed to do was to make this confrontation not about me doing a good thing and trying to stop him and maybe help those children out of hands (one of which was barely 5 or 6, a confused toddler, and another who was barely in early teens smiling with his bracelets), but about me showing him proudly how I had at the time through my chastity no part in these disgusting human affairs of “humanism” pretenses and disgusting needinesses. This pride completely castrated me, not just physically, but mentally, from doing the right thing and only laughing him and humanity off with a scoff. And so I feel to this day I failed this second test of the Shaitan, or, again, it was, like in my life after death experience, a stalemate, a horrible stalemate of a failure, going on, but lessons learned, I still struggle, however with this self centered pride and sometimes write and judge nevertheless as a nasty habit, getting myself caught - too much thinking and not enough doing on my first good resolves and instinct, letting others or myself get that ego in the way. You see, this is why in Judges, Israel of old is scolded for allowing the evil Cannanites dwell in their own parts instead of slaying them as God had given them all the momentum to do it. Frankly, I should have slayed on the spot perhaps that goon, but the politics of it and my unpreparedness in my comfortable pride of piety, meant that I still was not preventative and responsible enough to calculate ahead as a real man does for his family: which is that one day someone or some people is confronted and had or has to shed blood to cleanse that Zoo, as an appropriate response. Many people, humanists ( disgusting insanity driven humans eating other humans is humanism), will tell you Israel was cruel and Hashem a merciless G_d getting all these people killed and their gods destroyed through humiliation. But that is wrong!! The Zoo had to be cleansed and G_d had chosen Israel to do it because they were the only ones capable of the sort of devoted and preventative “work ethics” of doing that job. Sure, later on G_d could be negotiated with and some other ways to deal with the Zoo were learned once discerning of mercy and the inevitable total destruction of all the creatures of that Zoo as the problem seemed intractable. Suffice to say, however, that so long a people is holy, there is no fear that the whole Zoo will fall down to the sword, and thus slaying is legit to end the Zoo conditions in order to avoid intimidations from creatures urging the holy to forget doing good the way that goon lured me. I should have tried to figure a way to clean up this “new wold order” disorder microcosmos of the FOB. There is still time to “make holy”, gird loins without guilt of being the better twin brother, and reverse that pressure tide pushing in the opposite direction of the opposition. I just pray G_d that slaying is not the only solution, but it will be if the mindset is abandoned eventually.

It’s important to remember that no one can hurt or kill someone unless g-d wills it.. and the reason a person gets punish for doing so is because he chose to do it although it could happen in a natural way. In a case of an accident, there isn’t execution in the Bible, rather exile..

Rabbi Friedman, why does the Yiddish culture insist on making unpleasant mouth and throat click noises? These sounds/habits are not holy. They aren’t the holy sounds of Biblical Hebrew. They are a degeneration of holy Hebrew. Original Hebrew did not have the sounds that Eastern European Jews make. There were no phlegmy “kh” sounds. These sounds are disliked by most people. Yet Eastern European Jews make them with pride. Is annoying people a mikvah? Constructive criticism, no shade. Thank you for not making too many of these sounds in this video..
