Dear Rabbi Benny Friedman, I just wanted to thank you and let you know, that your music videos really bring me a lot of joy and inspiration as well as strength. Talking about the song; "Yesh Tikvah", I would listen to and watch this song over and over when my father A"H passed away, and it gave me sooooo much strength when I was going thru that difficult time! May Hashem bless you and continue to give you Koach to be messameach Klal Yisrael with ur music, Ad bee'as goel, AMEN!
The very first Jews song I listened to on KZread was Toda . I,m not Jews ..but I love all his songs as well as all the Hebrew worship songs I find on KZread ! Because of Benny Friedman I started learning Hebrew but only singing his songs and all the worship Hebrew songs I find on KZread ! God bless you always !
Benny has Such a Sweet Voice & a Very Kind Soul. I feel SO Blessed that I’ve been on the receiving end of his positive feedback. (& had the good fortune to take a couple of selfies, after his concerts.) I started as a Groupie of Avraham Fried , in the Late 80’s; & now I am a Benny ‘groupie’ , 30 years Later. 😊😉
B”H- Benny has SO Many Special Compositions written for his Amazing, Unique Voice. B”H, no shortage on every album.
Very cool man! I love his father Rabbi Manis Friedman teachings!
Took me a year to finish- B”H, for your keeping ALL your recordings available. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
B"H This was such a wonderful interview. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Mi rabino favorito !! El número uno !! El mejor !!! Gracias Benny por hacernos feliz !!!

Fab podcast Thanks so much
Mr Friedman, Have you ever thought about singing in Spanish ? I would love to hear you sing in Spanish ! I often translate your beautiful songs to Spanish for my friends and family members that don't speak English. It would be a blessing to listen to you singing in Spanish !
Beautiful
Please do a podcast with 8th day
A blessing
I don't know many jewish artists, very cool guest. Watched his videos and it's nice 😊
Wonderful! I would recommend you to maybe add timestamps so that we can skip around to specific parts of the interview. Would make these much easier to follow and go back to!
I'm from MN, grew up in the Friedman home!

Small world!
Articulate and humble. Like.
When Benny said, "I have never seen 2 more well behaved boys" I thought he was talking about your 2 for a minutes 😜

love Benny have met a few times but I would add that on the low and middle end its a tough living and yes it may not last forever (we have seen many singers come and go) but once your at the top i cant imagine its that tough, some of these singers show up for 5-15k a gig. if you pop out a decent album every two and a half years together with concerts the math looks very good to me, staying relevant thats a whole other story 🤦♂️.
I love this. I'm in the middle of watching this. One tiny piece of criticism if I may: when Benny mentioned the episode of someone approaching him after a concert in Memphis, you guys didn't make sure that Benny finishes the story. Only later, when he related that his sister asked him why can't he sing on his album the way he sings at concerts, did I understand what the guy at the Memphis event told him.

We totally agree. We are becoming better listeners each and every episode (we hope). Thanks for the feedback Yechiel.

huh?
As far as saying "*Bnai* Sarah, Rivka..." Instead of the correct quote from the Rebbe, "*Bnos*..." in the song: Technically, "Bnai" *can* also mean children of *both* genders: "*Children* of Abraham, Yitzchok, v'Yaakov..." "*Children* of Sarah, Rivka, Rochel, v'Leah..."
The first 20 minutes sound like a complete dump on the people involved in his early albums. BH!
