Thanks! Actually Rabbi , it was Susanna who discovered you and started watching your lectures while she was pregnant with our daughter!!! Thank You and BE OUR DEAR HASHEM AS SHE IS ALWAYS BEEN SAYING, TO BE BLESSED OUR GOD OUR KING OF ALL . Even my wife was only quaternary Jewish by blood, her mom’s mother was Jewish and she went in a hiding due to all her parents and one grandmother was slain during pogroms in what you can say Ukraine now, so in her family it was a very different reality etc , but all new that grandmother is Jewish… Susanna in front of my eyes every day more and more were becoming Jewish by soul… saying this AM ISRAEL CHI AND ITS TIME TO BECOME EVEN MORE AND MORE PROUD OF WHO WE ARE AND WHAT OUR MISSION IS … ITS ONLY ONE TO BRING GOD TO OTHER NATIONS AND OTHER NATIONS TOGETHER WITH US WILL MAKE THIS EARTH IN TO A HAVEN …. GOD BLESS YOU RABBI AND YOURS AS WELL ☝️🤲✡️🕎✡️🤲☝️

A mature look at "unacceptable" life situations. Not my will, but the will of my Creator to become ....

[@irissimon9761]

A very meaningful talk and interesting too. So much of depth in whatever you say. Thank you.

[@jeffreyrwilliams9345]

thank you

[@cynthiaalsup3585]

Of course the problem that arises from that conclusion is that we quite naturally, then hold God and ourselves accountable. That's very painful and hard to believe that God would purposely plan my pain and expect me to endure it willingly though of course that's exactly what he does.

[@bra195]

Sometimes I got me thinking about that...but, I belive in him, he's my creator

[@adiscourse9489]

Thank you. I needed to hear this message. 🤗

[@fanrichard6967]

I decided to follow 7 laws since the lockdown for this virus. I had a lot of free time to read my bibles in this period to figure out what does the G-d really want.

[@fanrichard6967]

@nicki wilson I think Roma did that.

“I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.” Isaiah 45:7

[@rhondaurb]

But why? Why create evil?

[@richardstein5702]

The book was not called “Why Bad Things Happen to Good People.” People wished that was what the book was about - some discovery of meaning. It was called “When Bad Things Happen to Good People.” It only explored what to do next, and create a course of action.

[@kittyfarkas]

Thank you, this is a new perspective, however, I can't fully agree. My younger sister, age 20 in 1974 was run down by a drunk driver and did not survive. How is that justifiable or my parents survivors of Auschwitz and Dacau lost their parents to hatred? Its very comforting to think that no such things as bad things but doesn't seem like it at times.

[@arulmary603]

As we human, we have a greater prediction a bad thing should happen to people who annoying us in hurting us. I always try to opt a +ve phase to avoid that I need not face the bad thing once more.

[@kimchristopher682]

Help me understand ,..WHAT POSSIBLE REASON COULD THERE BE FOR A HUGE TREE FALLING ON A 8 YR. OLD LITTLE GIRL AND KILLING HER INSTANTLY ?? That SHOULD NOT OF HAPPENED.!!! If you could explain just ONE REASON OUT OF ANY TRAGIC EVENT..I would DESPERATLEY love to hear it.

[@lizgichora6472]

Thank you ...

For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Romans 11:36

[@yohannar.meister6013]

So beautifully said. Amen on the senselessness. However, HaShem is ALL and that I am convinced of hence there is NOTHING at all which should NOT happen.. If I say there is anything wrong then I say HaShem makes mistakes. And I AM TERRIFIED to do that coz I already know that HE has all made for a reason and a good reason. Its people who chose not to connect to G-d. I am GRATEFUL for all because I am the 4th generation returning HOME. Torah is 💯and NOTHING else works for me. It all makes sense. I love Rebbe Friedman so very much. My soul laughs each time I hear him coz its all so true and feels so great. Pain is a teacher if we are not willing to learn otherwise.

[@mauricioantoniodesouzasamu9534]

Dear Rabbi. When expanding, in DEUTERONÔMIO, the verses 9. 26 to 9. 29 in order to better read them every day an impossible event happened. The letters of the numbers of the verses that are in bold like the others were BLUE and the verse 9. 29 did not appear although I paid close attention at the time of PRINT. In any case, changing the color from black to BLUE is simply impossible. I have no explanations. Shalom

[@octavianapanait1918]

The girl had a strong intuition and said she does'nt want to go..because she can't..her feet did'nt helped her also..may be the father did'nt had the necessary wisdom..to prevent that..

[@tapasyatyaga4041]

But you miss the point. You are saying that what the father did should not have happened (he lacked wisdom. had he had wisdom then he would allow his daughter not to board the plane) but his advice also "had to happen."

[@octavianapanait1918]

@@tapasyatyaga4041 simcerely I don't understand what you are writing, toi much "had", It îs very heavy to understand because of this..but I don't think "I am missing the point"..and you don't know me, I would say too..You mean It was destiny, the girl unfortunatelly had a short life here..may be..But I Think. Even If you don't like It..that the girl should have free will and to decide If she want It to go with that plane or nor..If she was feeling so bad about It, may be she should been listened..Lord sent her a sign..with It's Mercy and Care..so..may be she could choose..even If the destiny could be still not so kind about her after..this we don't know..nobody knows..but Lord sent her a sign and may be..a little atention in the right way It îs very welcome. I don't give up aty point of vie, sorry..and you can think whatever you want to think, It îs your point of vue..Lord bless. Amin.

God created humans but where did God come from?

[@elfa9191]

Even If someone made It happen (apparently)? Like a crime?

[@stevenlawrence1254]

What about a person with bad Mazel , we all know someone like that , a born looser ? What about a klutz that always falls ?

[@NVRAMboi]

Romans 8:28 "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." More than sufficient for this praying sinner. God is love. Love (for all of us) is pain and suffering in this life. No one is picking on me. Suffering has a purpose.

[@hopac-houseofprayerandcharity]

Is my disobedience to the will of G-d the will of G-d? No, it isn’t. Is it so hard to accept, that you can do things, that G-d does not want, but only accepts to happen? It is wrong to turn away from G-d and G-d has not given allowance to do so and will never give. You did it against the will and against the allowance of G-d. And you shall learn to turn away from it. That’s a sense on a higher level only, it does not bring sense into doing something wrong. It does not change, that something happened, that was bad. It will never be used in some way for something good, indeed. Only turning away from it can heal us. The event in itself was truly bad and the good comes by overcoming what was bad and building on G-d as a new fundation. You could argue, that the purpose of all bad things is, that you turn to G-d and by doing so, overcome it as far as your own impact is concerned. But still: bad is bad and not actually good. Good is accepting bad as bad and turning away. It’s rather simple, isn’t it? And no, bad things do not make sense, that’s why we don’t want them for good. They are condemned by G-d.

When Jews learn Torah, things happen. The understanding that we Jews have the full weight of the responsibility of what shapes the Creation will take on upon our shoulders is the real acceptance of the Yoke of Torah. It is only when we understand this that we know what the Fear of Heaven really is. The learning itself: our breathing while learning, that which we intend, that which we think, how we understand what we are reading, the chemical changes that occur in our Bodies when we learn Torah and the subsequent actions we take as a result of how we've understood Torah is how the Formation occurs. If we Jews learn Torah in the purest Hebrew possible, with the purest intentions we can muster, and then act on what we have internalized from Torah into our own living Flesh - beautiful things happen. If we Jews learn Torah in poor Hebrew, with many mispronunciations, without a deep understanding of what we are reading, then act on our misunderstandings - bad things happen in the world. The rabbinical world learns Torah very irresponsibly - in translation, in poor Hebrew, in Aramaic, with shallow understandings of what the Text is saying - and then act on their misunderstandings thinking that they are supposed to do all kinds of ceremonies and make symbolic gestures. That is why the world looks as it does. Thank God, your symbolic gestures, which introduce illusion into the creation, create a temporary world that passes away. Only true Torah learning creates an Eternal world. Thank God you don't make an Eternal mess with your irresponsibility.

Romans 8:28. And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

אוהבת לשמוע אותך תמיד אבל לומר שצריך לקבל את הדברים מבלי לשאול למה ?!?!? ולקבל תשובה ?!?!

[@tapasyatyaga4041]

This philosophy contradicts free will. It is predestination.

[@NIF18]

It would seem so. But check out another one of rabbi Friedman's videos, I think called "who hurt you" or something like that where he gives a really good explanation of how those two can be reconciled.
