This is why all forms of idol worship are so offensive in the Torah. G-d didn't create a physical universe to fall in love with it, be trapped in it, and buried beneath it, but to use it to love Him, rise from it, and elevate towards Him.

EVILS YONKYS IGNORANTS !!!

Regarding the question you asked about why did God put us in this position to begin with, in addition to what the Rav said I would just like to add something I learned from the Kabbalistic explanation of Rabbi Ashlag. The source of our soul, in its original unification with the Infinite Light of God, long before the creation of the first man, the source of the human soul decided, in what could be understood to be a free will decision, to achieve a greater unity with God by becoming a giver and not just a receiver, as God is a giver. For that reason the universe was created in such a way that this world became the perfect environment for our soul to express itself in a Godly manner by becoming a giver. In this way we achieve a similarity to God who is the ultimate giver and in achieving this similarity, we achieve a greater unity with God than originally existed, in which we received from the Light of God but could not give it. Now we have the opportunity to shine back the Light, as the moon shines back the light of the sun. When this part of our destiny is fulfilled, humanity will move to a higher level of existence in which the physical and the spiritual are united.

Lowest of all worlds and the potential to be greater than heaven!

Wow, that was a really marvelous discussion, Julie! Thank you SO much for bringing Rabbi Friedman on your show. It was one of the most meaningful shows I have listened to. Well done!!

❤ is all we need, because giving is taking a love, so we need to receive a love from those who need us, or from God that needs us to give us love

I think what Mannis said about pop-psychology was so spot-on. I've been hearing the mantras of self-love for decades and I'll say they have never sat well with me for a number of reasons. When you think about the self-love psychology it's basis in the same thing that got us into this mess, it's Vanity! The serpent used vanity to beguile Eve, i.e 'You can become like God...' Now if that isn't appealing to someone's vanity, then I don't know what is.

24:00 Correction, According to Judaism, before a person enters this world, they kind of choose he must agree to everything that will happen to him. This includes their challenges, their parents, their siblings, and the circumstances of their life. Each aspect, chosen by God, has a specific purpose and calculation. We have likely lived many lives before this one, we come back to opportunities for rectification and fix them. Even though our challenges may seem overwhelming or unfair, they are chosen with great compassion, tailored to our spiritual needs. However, we must agree to these challenges before entering this world; we are not forced into them. From a higher perspective, when up there we understand everything clearly, but upon entering this world, we forget our previous knowledge. Thus, life becomes a test where we must navigate and learn from our experiences.

As I knows , Evil dose not exist, but if we do something bad Evil will appears, if we do something good Evil disappear. Because god created people just like that. Good and bad alway came with us . If god gave us only good, everyone became a gods

What strikes people about the story that's being narrated is not that Adam and Eve deflected blame to someone else, which already is human nature; no, its that God as the serpent shrewdly observed is a liar. He doesn't carry out His own punishment on His children! If he hasn't lied, then He changed His mind, which isn't very divine of Him for God isn't a man that He should change His mind. The story rejects both of those depictions about God as divorced from His true nature and instead it informs us that He relented and showed mercy. He felt sorry for His children's deceit and decided putting them to death on the spot would be cruel and unusual punishment. We take away from the story the God of Justice gave way to the God of mercy and God would rather see His children learn from their behaviour than condemn them to a fate that allows for no redemption and change of heart. That's a theme that carried through the rest of the Hebrew Bible. Human beings can elect to make God happy and when He is happy, their burden is lessened. That's why we're all still here.

thanks rabbi

if the world was perfect , there was no reason for life.

To follow from the expulsion from the Garden, we have in its wake evil and suffering. Why doesn't God elevate the world so everyone could benefit from it and the world is enveloped by holiness? In a word, that's not God's job! That's man's job and if God had arranged things so none of us would've to deal with evil any more, man would be out of a job. We are God's partner in the work of sanctifying creation and making the world what it should be. There are no shortcuts to building that world. For human beings who are mortal, it will always remain unfinished. When all is said and done, what matters isn't the destination but what we learn from our sojourn while we're here and the lessons we pass onto our children. The world we all want to live in will remain for us more a dream than a work redeemed by the labour of our hands.

That is why Buddha advises us to be free from desire. The Non-self. Humans need nothing as long as they know who needs them = that's called love ❤️

Thank you rabbi

The tree seems more like an actual place rather than an actual tree

I just realized that Adam did not select his own wife; God selected Adam's wife and God's selection options included every possible candidate from the pre-Earth existence ... which is a lot of candidates. Eve was / is more magnificent, more extraordinary, more magnanamous, more righteous, more intellectual, more insightful than ... well than anyone. Thank you Rabbi Friedman for setting us straight about Eve's specialness.

Rabbi Manis Friedman ❤❤❤ and God put The Tree of knowledge of knowing Good and Evil in parallel to Isaiah 45:7 God is Just God is not limited to bit we all creation are limit to something

Being needy is a bottomless pit. 😢 how sad

The big question is why did God put the tree in the garden ?

27:00 Why does God place us in this world and in various situations? It's because without challenges, there can be no meaningful rewards. In the heavenly realm, actions lack the deep personal involvement that we experience here on Earth. There, one cannot be a friend, extend help, or speak kind words in the same profound manner as in our earthly existence. Here on Earth, our actions are significant because they involve our choices and challenges. In heaven, it's only the soul without the physical body, where actions cannot occur. Your earthly actions determine the rewards or consequences in the afterlife. It is through facing challenges that we derive a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment.

Some people's imagination. Speculation.

The devil and our flesh are tools used to develop us. This is why it’s so easy for God to forgive, because there’s nothing to forgive. We are all babies in the womb, we don’t know that this is how it had to be; just like with Joseph and his 12 brothers. It’s the will of God.

Why God need relationship when He's a Forced, does God have emotions like humans?

But after Torah the interpretation made in Tanakh is seems to be contrary to the rabbi's interpretation of Genesis story, kindly address to this doubt in your sermons.

God created Adam and tasked him with tending God's garden. Man was created to serve God. God needs you to eat so that you can have energy to serve Him. God needs you to have shelter for the same reason. God explained all of this in a book.

The Hebrew text uses the verb נָשָׁא to say that the serpent deceived Eve and then Adam. But it can also be the verb נָשָׂא (nasa') which means to grow and in the factive tense which is the one of the Hebrew text : to make grow, to exalt. And this is the intention of the text. It would be better to translate it as exalt or, if we wish to retain both meanings: the serpent deceived me by exalting me. It is indeed an external, centrifugal force, comparable to the one trying to separate Job from God. (even if demonogy is more recent in the biblical text). We can't say enough about the extent to which exaltation is at the root of idolatry. The serpent's strategy (and his power !) is to eclipse God's presence (Where are you, asks God to Adam). If we don't take into account this power to eclipse God (as if evil could broadcast on the same radio frequency as God !), then the story is indeed disconcerting and even nonsensical. Then the serpent addresses (almost exites) the desires of human nature, in the face of which the will proves to be weak (The commandment represented all the other commandments). So why the serpent ? Why Isaiah 45:7 makes God say: I have created evil ( וּבוֹרֵא רָע) The serpent was created to teach man and woman not to listen to the desires of (exalt) their human nature and to remain in the presence of God (Psalm 37:4-6). This is why, in the lives of those he called (Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, etc.) God often had to put to death all their human exaltation and pretension before starting to use them. This is why God says that he resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble (Ps 25,9; Job 22, 29; Is 57,15 ) This is why it is said that fear is the beginning of wisdom... The biblical character who best refused to be exalted is the suffering servant of Isaiah 53, whose humiliation is said to have been the occasion of the salvation of many. IIt is written that God brought upon himself the iniquities of many (Es 53,6), and that he interceded for the guilty (53, 12). Now, the translations "bring upon" and "intercede", are both translations of the same Hebrew verb: פָּגַע (paga'). That means that the two moments are one. Why did God bring evil down on him? So that he would intercede and make the evil disappear. Why did God create evil? So that, if we can't avoid it or even oppose it, we can intercede with Him. It's also a way for God to be our only God and a way for us to be really human.

20:25. "God wasn't angry, God was impressed". Compare with: 1 Tim 2:13-14. Either the Rabbi is correct with his interpretation of the fall that REQUIRES extra scriptural context. Or Paul is correct in 1 Tim 2. Yes, I am assuming that God would not be impressed with being deceived. If the Rabbi is correct, then Paul the Apostle is incorrect, and if Paul is incorrect, then Christian's don't have a good set of scriptures. OR the Rabbi is incorrect, and his interpretation is wrong.

Really Rabbi, where are we getting an hour later ? The question is, who is the daddy of evil ? We see who the daddy is and Genesis 2 and in Isaiah .. and if we think the trees are really trees than we're really mistaken because the scripture says that men are as trees and therefore that means that there were other men in the garden as well and God told Adam to not feed off of the fruit of that one particular tree that man that serpent was not to be listened to that God created also. God is the daddy of evil, and the good it is clear, at least that's what the Bible says.

In the Bible it says he did create evil. Isaiah 45:7

Where does he get that Adam disobeyed God after only one hour?! Said no verse ever! And it was eve who deceived Adam to cause him to sin. I think Rabbi Friedman needs to go read his Torah again because he is obviously not well versed! Any time that someone says that you need a lot of commentary to understand something is trying to misinterpret the text. What it meant then is what it means now
