Me too sir, great observation.
Your love and erudition shines so bright...I'm sure God likes having you around
Find a need and fill it. We Live in a needy world. One has never done enough to be satisfied, without God. God fills the void of needs.
i love to hear Manis Friedman he present clear thinking
To think of our needs, or think of who needs us! It says it all. I love this ❤
Thank you for the beautiful message 🙏✝️
Ohh... at first I thought this was gonna be about the pagan etymology of the word itself. Once again, Friedman got me! Lol - He knows how to subvert my expectations *and* deliver a deep and meaningful message. Keep up the good work, rabbi!
Just after 17 min "... thats Judaism, the rest is commentary ..." This wise man has the ability to both synthesize and distill knowledge and wisdom.

This brought me to tears. Thank you
I'll watch this episode. I always tell humans what this title is about. You are great Rabbi. Thank you.
Great rabbi,I like the logic of thinking.thank so much.
Unfortunately, Many people have many gods of needs .. Money, Sex, Greed of food, What I need to buy to keep up with society and much more. These gods Tear Down .. They do not build you up, they tear you down. It's up to you which god you choose. There is a choice, I choose the one God which helps me build up others. The God of Israel. The God of Love, Power and Might. At times, I do go down the wrong path, it does not mean I am perfect. It just means I realize and can see, repent and do better. There are people around you that need you to be firm and to help others around you because people can see which GOD you believe in, and it gives them hope. Thank you, Rabbi, for reminding us that God needs us.

I can assure you solemnly, Rabbi: there're some things I would want to do that I really *should* give up, forever if it may come to it- bar none; as not nearly everything we want is necessarily good for us in the first place!
Thank you rabbi
God is Knowledge; infinite Knowledge. Yes you need Him. You kneed knowledge therefore you need God.
Thank you very much Rabbi
I love this and it tracks with my experience of depression. And yet this is the fear of animal soul- that its survival needs will not be met - and that there is no place for it in the world. Intellectually the idea that G-d needs me and I have no needs is beautiful and rings true- but I am curious what this means in practice. After all, He needs us to “till the soil” and success is never guaranteed.
Love it from Australia ❤
I had a near- death experience and experienced unconditional love.
Amen!
It's true, we only need to focus on where we are needed, the rest is taken for granted.
Great video !
Profound. ❤ thank you Rabbi
Thank you Rabbi.
An interesting word in the context of Need? The most usual concept of need by many individuals is either desire, want or need, in thinking that these words have the same significance. In philosophical terms of reasoning desire is the lowest element of evilness over ruling reasoning. Where want and need are totally independent of each others definitions for the want of something or some one is partly more indicative in its form of desire, however need defines an urgency that cannot be neglected nor over looked. An example is that a house in want of paint does not look its best and does not require immedient attention for painting. On the other perspective a house in need of paint is in its worst condition indicating that it requires immediate attention and is in need of painting and cannot be neglected nor overlook or ignored any further. In retrospect in the same manner that a newborn baby needs to be nurtured and cared by his mother, so does one need God's Goodness Gracious Godness protection and defenses in times of need when overwhelmed by the opposing forces of God that are threatening ones' own Godly's wellbeing.
Thank you Rabbi!!!

When it comes to human existence there is always need is exist. We are living this world there is always a struggle Human resources are limited and minority population got the ownership of the vast amount of resources They use poor peasants as human shields to get hold to basic need of essentials needs Covid era we saw people were fighting get hold to some petrol so much violent and some been killed because they been rude to each other while they were at the queue. Most Wealthy people .l found they are ruthless they are ungrateful they understand their difficulties only. They just want to live rich and able only They want to radicate poor and ugly from this earth They love their animals more than human being Still believe man created by God Benedictos Benediccat. Therefore l could say our need is there for daily survival food and drink more than gold and diamond If women say we don't need gold and diamond that's fine then price go down tremendously as you said 50% of demand go down and price also go down Oneday there won't be much demand for those items eventually But you said differently you put all human needs in one bag. .
He needs me to transform my heart through Torah and Mitzvot, and stone by stone take the mountain of hatred I think I see, and build a new mountain from the stones and see the mountain was really a mountain of love meant to transform my heart. It's a huge task because His love for me is beyond huge. To build the mountain I need to lay myself down for the foundation.
I think to myself, even though I don't recall requesting or accepting being born or incarnated into the body I have, does that mean that I didn't? I think no, not necessarily. Just because you don't remember something happening, it doesn't logically follow from that that something didn't happen, or did happen. I think about some near death experiences people claim to have had, where they claim they were reincarnated; some claimed they wanted to be born into the life they were born into so that they may spiritually grow. What does one make of such accounts?

My beliefs, God is a number. A colossal mass of spirit energy and wisdom with a star as astral body. There are many BCS billions of people believing manifest amazing things. Plus once an individual reaches self awareness, they create their own. Over many lifetimes. There is a heavenly father or ultimate creator. If we rewound far enough everything would eventually fly back into it's/his consciousness. Just good to keep out of a little God box, broaden consciousness. An idol fits in a box, not God. Or any of them. And any God that changes a life from hate to Love 💕 deserves my respect.
In my view we can't say that we didn't ask to be born. Maybe we did ask or did sign a contract on the other side, the side where we come from before we are born ;-)
God choose you to be born it’s Gods will he put use on this earth for a a reason I thank God for life even we go through our troubles and worries we all carry our cross along this journey
Sometimes we say it bc others don't know we use Hashem. Although I've been more explanatory saying Thank God , for me that's Hashem
Leave room for truth. Hashem told me through both ways. Serve Hashem with all heart Love matters. Serve as you are called. The whole world in in need now. Hashems truth is all I need. 🙏🏾🙏🏾💕💕💕💕👂🏾👂🏾🏀🏀💕💕⚔⚔
Q: What is the difference between illusion and reality? A: the level of details.. let that sink in your head.
How does God decide who will be born blind ? Does he pick someone at random or is there a criterion ?
He doesn't *need* you at all come to think of it, so He certainliy doesn't need you to get married; yet you've got to live the lifestyle you've chosen, and that means following the rules about marriage- that's for *your* own good... I believe He laid it out via one of His prophets something along these lines: "If I were hungry, why would I turn to *you*, besides: I do not eat what you eat." that kind of stance.
I am married to a Jew and when I honor him I am blessed.

Every "request" that comes to fulfill the needs of others is always a test. Some of the people who will come, will have a need that I will have to grant or fulfill. Some of the people who will come, will have a need that I will have to reject. This is called "distinguishing between good and evil". How can I distinguish between these and those? We will ignore what our eyes see and our ears hear, and instead ask, prey and seek for guidance. And what happens when we don't receive guidance? We neither decide nor act but wait. Why? Because that was the real test, namely whether when you don't receive guidance, you go back to acting on your own. In the Bible this is called "Moshe's ascension to Mount Sinai." Some sat and waited for Moses to return and some went back to their old ways and built the golden calf.
“He humbled you, allowing you to become hungry, and then fed you with man, which neither you nor your ancestors had ever known, to make you understand that a person does not live on food alone but on everything that comes from the mouth of ADONAI.” Devarim 8:3
The 'needs' arguement is weak. If there is any proposition that has NEVER worked historically it is the deceptive face of need. Our own real needs are simple and few and our given conditions on earth have more than provided for them. Does God have extraordinary needs? Is he hungry? Cold? Lonely? Is that our only purpose? To provide God with food, shelter and companionship? We are very good at depriving others of basic needs.
I think, therefore I exist and have needs and wishes. In other words meow needs arose when my existence started.
I don’t believe in God. I know God. Big difference. To believe is to think and to think is to doubt.
Thank you Rabbi Friedman
I think the way of thinking that God needs something is totally wrong. God does not need anything, He created everything because He wanted, not needed it. If the whole creation disappears God will still be God.
Sir; you are asking questions which are very very heavy; serpents can answer but not 'human beings!?'supposed to be inteligent...! Love..!
Only makes sense to a yield vessel
Hello Rabbi.
Well, I would like to encourage You to listen and read books written by Dr. PhD Allan Emren from sweden.
The 'needs' arguement is weak. If there is any proposition that has NEVER worked historically it is the deceptive face of need. Our own real needs are simple and few and our given conditions on earth have more than provided for them. Does God have extraordinary needs? Is he hungry? Cold? Lonely? Is that our only purpose? To provide God with food, shelter and companionship? We are very good at depriving one another of basic needs. It seems that provision is a huge problem for humans and all that we have really succeeded in creating and multiplying is more LACK. Perhaps that is all we can offer God...
I actually don't care about anything other than the fact that me and that God entity be on the same page. Dude wrote a collection of books for me! 😂
God is a belief. the Creator is fact! The Nation of Israel says, "Our Creator is like a god, whom is still caring."
It’s a dark matter.....dark matter.....the unknown......there is so much of it.....that no man...can speak of god...with knowing....humility is lost ...and faith is disrespected.
In that case you only need the first one; “I have no needs”. After that it doesn’t matter if god needs you. Who cares.
Why do you believe in God? It is because our souls are made of God's spirit. This is why God is omnipotent and everywhere, and God can hear our prayer instantly.

Gargantuan ominous deity, GOD . P.S. FOCUS FROM GOD'S LOVE!
Its not that complicated...God divided us so he can conquer...and so that we blame ourselves and each other for any pain and suffering we go through...aslong as we dont blame him for our misery and direct our hate towards each other not towards him then he will remain satisfied and pleased

I AM THE LORD EL, WHAT SAITH THE PROPHET AS I LIVE, SAITH THE LORD EL, surely because MY flock became a prey, and MY flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did MY shepherds search for MY flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not MY flock; Therefore, O ye shepherds, HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD; THUS SAITH THE LORD EL; Behold, I AM against the shepherds; and I will require MY flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver MY flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them. FOR THUS SAITH THE LORD EL; Behold, I, EVEN I, WILL BOTH SEARCH MY SHEEP, and SEEK THEM OUT. As a SHEPHERD seeketh out HIS flock in the day that HE is among HIS sheep that are scattered; SO WILL I SEEK OUT MY SHEEP, and WILL DELIVER THEM OUT OF ALL PLACES WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN SCATTERED IN THE CLOUDY and DARK DAY. And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon THE MOUNTAINS OF YĪSRAʾEL BY THE RIVERS, and in all the inhabited places of the country. I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon THE HIGH MOUNTAINS OF YĪSRAʾEL shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon THE MOUNTAINS OF YĪSRAʾEL...WOE UNTO YE THAT ARE BOUND TO RELIGIOUS LIES FOR EL ELYON HATETH SINNERS WOE TREMBLE THOU EARTH AT THE PRESENCE OF THINE MAKER, AT THE PRESENCE OF THE EL OF YĪSRAʾEL!!! WHAT SAITH THE PROPHET And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of EL is with men, and HE will dwell with them, and they shall be HIS people, and EL HIMSELF shall be with them, and be their EL.
