I’m 88yrs. Old and I’m not Jewish. I love Rabbi Friedman. He speaks with feelings and honesty. I have asked my children to listen to him .He knows and is real, wouldn’t he make a wonderful President. He is real God has blessed him to teach us life. Thank you Rabbi

[@paulschnyder938]

Wow - what a tremendous joy to listen to this. This is not about being or not being Jewish. This is about being Human.

[@deejannemeiurffnicht1791]

Well said. though as a child I grew up around Christianity, I discovered my jewish roots, and as I re-read scripture from a Jewish perspective and undersgtand more about how the Hebrews lived and belived, I am reading about the MOST HUMAN religion ever! Even amongst all the miraculous events, we see a very down to earth, human path being revealed. Up is up, down is down, living is life, and dead is dead. And I also learned how good G-d was and is in recognising non-Jewish people who stood righteous. His sun shines upon all people if we're willing to bask in Him.

you want the patriarchs of the Empire of Elam to bless us? ... That empire was destroyed by the Assyrians after they destroyed the kingdom of Israel. The EL are all patriarchs of Elam, an Eloha is one patriarch, more than one are Elohim. Abraham's father was not descended from Elam (son of Shem) but his ancestors sojourned among the Elamites in Elam until they were dispersed by the Babylonians when Abraham's father's ancestors ended up in Ur among Chaldeans. Many Elamites were dispersed through wars behind enemy lines in HAMITE territory. The call went out to meet in Hebron .. and the HEBREWS (Elamite semites) spread throughout Mesopotamia from Hebron ... Abraham also travelled to Hebron to get his marching orders.

This is a great man.. I started studying this kind of Judaism in the 1977. We had only books back then, and I learned what I could. I am Christian, and there is great anger towards my faith. I still studied, almost always alone, as I was not understood, by my "faith" much less my Brothers and Sisters in Israel. I was treated as GOY, and discussed, (openly) as a Slave, because my Soul was not as complete as Jewish people. Im still broken hearted..butt hurt. God Bless the True HEART OF ISRAEL. and those not so perfect. Blessings forever, and thank you so much for SHARING the Wisdom of my Fathers.

I am born an orthodox christian but grew up in Bucharest in the jewish neighbourhood . Happy accident . Most of my important knowledge comes from that ambient . Playing piano and foreign languages which I studied with ( very serious) jewish teachers , a certain perspective of life , using reason mostly somehow like in mathematical thinking , etc . And I find a well known flavour of analysing important facts of life on this channel and similar ones. Very rational analyse . Whitch mostly lacks in the european culture now , where is mostly about emotion , ego and other stuff that can't get to any good end result . Unfortunately Europe is a dying culture and signs can be seen everywhere. We have to accept facts weather we like them or not . Who's to blame ....our own way of understanding fundamental values , considering material succes is everything and the only indicator and having forgotten the spiritual and cultural life and what this means and etc . A developing supperficiality in younger generation in understanding life and some other obvious factors. Which will make future look grim .

I am transgender. When I say that to others, they immediately make assulptions concerning myself. They don't bother to ask how I came to that conclusion or how my life led up to this point, they just immediately tell me how wrong I am, that I am a pedofile, and that I'm insane. They've told me if I am not this, this, and this, that I won't be that. If I'm not Christian, that I'm going to hell. That if I was born a man, you can't be a woman. That if I don't get a good job, I won't succeed. Not once do they consider that I define those for myself. That due to the fact that I am living my life, I must from my perspective live it and experience everything that goes along with that. Everyone kept telling me who and what I was and what I needed to be, yet they weren't me. They were them. Even if I explained why I did the things I did, they could only understand through their filter, their experiences. I could come up with the most eloquent description as to why I chose what I did, every step of the way, but because they didn't experience my emotions, my thoughts, my life, they continued to tell me why I was wrong. I've read so many holy books, gone through so many religions, tried practicing some, had dreams and signs from others, even had a man named Yahushua Hamashiach approach me in my dreams to tell me certain things. Yet oddly enough, he referred to me by my chosen name, by my chosen gender. The only reason I could come up with as to why was because the things he was going to tell me were kore important for my developement rather than dictating dogma and rules. I've studied near death experiences, all my friends are of different paths, all of them are different, and I've learned so much from all of them. So thank you Sir for explaining your perspective to me. While we may not agree on certain notes, I agree on being a benifit to those around you because while I may be going to hell based on others criteria, I've also saved peoples lives from situations they would have died in and maybe they'll have a chance to get to heaven in my stead and maybe when God asks them how they got there, they'll say this girl Lisa helped them get there. When and if he asks me how I got there, I'll tell him simply that a man named Yahushua Hamashiach sent me along with everyone I've ever met who helped me get to the point to meet him. If he asks who my God is, I'll tell him I see him everywhere I look. I've met him in everyone I've met. That I've learned from him when he was my enemy. That I kept him sacred in the form of those that I've loved.

[@deborahdean8867]

So I suppose you live a holy life and stay away from men if you really a female and staying away from women if you're really a man? Because in the Torah these things are based on your biological genetalia which surgery wont change. Not for Torah purposes. And if you ever date, I guess you are totally honest about your genetalia status? Because people get very upset when they find out you lied to them on such a basic level. ....that means they are hurt by you misrepresenting yourself to them. Because such things arent a matter of how you look at it, they are a matter of respecting how the other person looks at it. And then we have the whole dating thing in terms of marriage, I suppose you don't date? I being these things up because, for example, gays argue their lifestyle is righteous, but fornication never is for anyone. They never seem to think about that part.

[@Oblivliz]

@@deborahdean8867 My lifestyle would not make any sense to others. To them it would be unholy, which I can completely understand from their perspective. I have two wives. One that is intersex, she was born with both ovaries, testies, and a penis with an incomplete system of reproduction. Our other wife is biologically female. We've been together for about 10 years now. I have a best friend who is not in our relationship, but I help him along in life seeming as no one ever believed in him and he just needed some confidence. So he tags along and has been growing as a person. I'm very upfront with those I bring into my life. I have no issue with how they judge or how they view me. That is their view, not mine. It's not like they would even understand anyway. I do not have sex. In fact, I struggle with that due to my past. While I have masturbated in the past, for spiritual reasons I try to stay away from it or if I do I try to recorrect my ways. Burning with passion is difficult to deal with, but while it may be considered a sin by others and a challenge with self control to myself, I try to focus less on sin and more on what I can provide for others. While many believe our works are not recognized, I do not share that prospect. However, my works are not riches or goal based. I simply enjoy meeting others along my path and helping them in any way I can and I usually get those who society has thrown away and deemed unworthy in their eyes. Which, all the more reason to be there for them and watch them grow. Meet a lot of poor folks too, because heres the thing. People can stand on the podium all they like and preach, but it is said to look within oneself. That the kingdom is both within and in front of us. Both are in disrepair. So I repair it one person at a time and each of them helps me repair myself as well. God loves everyone. God is love, so in my eyes I must learn to love them and myself. No one is perfect, yet we all have our role to play to make the world a better place. People can tell me what's holy all they want. I'll be busy helping those who are suffering.

[@deborahdean8867]

@@Oblivliz so you're saying you are polygamous ? Lots of moral people are polygamous. If you're married, you arent breaking Gods law . Hermaphrodites are rare but do happen, I think all a person can do is choose the most appropriate role. My point had to do with sexual relations under marriage as the only type allowed by Gods law. Because a great majority of all LGBT people claim to follow God yet fornicate as a lifestyle. You could ignore the LGBT factor and they would still be condemned by fornication and idolizing lust.
