Outstanding interview, Julie. Rabbi Friedman is such an impressive individual with a vast wealth of knowledge. Had a friend I met in college who was born in communist Czechoslovakia. He was amazed at how much people who he encountered in America took their lives and freedoms for granted. And how Americans are taught very little if anything about such historical events as Prague Spring/the invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968 and/or the velvet revolution of 1989 and Vaclav Havel. Anyway, thank you Julie and Rabbi Friedman for inspiring thought into the most fundamental of questions.
Julie, I love your questions, just like I had my questions. So I had to study the whole Bible, including the New Testament and I got all my answers. Praise the Lord. Your life will change forever, that's a promise from God.
I’m liking this conversation for both Julie and Rabbi Friedman. I loved the questions Julie asked and the answers given by the Rabbi. I will definitely come back to this channel for Part 2. Thank you!
we need you Rabbi Manis, you are so loving and beautiful wise being. we want to have life, and life can be life only with god . and Julie you are beautiful and wise soul. . thank you 💜💙💜i wish you will interview rabbi Manis again and again. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
In this episode of Timeless, Julie dons her drysuit, straps on her Nitrox tanks, adds some lead weights to her BC and takes a Deep Dive in to Why Are We On Earth? Once again, Julie's mind circumnavigates the Universe. I learned the answer to that question as a teenage ... and I re-learn the answer everyday.
The angelic question is asked in the opening of Maria Erich Rilke in, "The Duino Elegies." He paints the picture of the heavenly hosts as being all powerful, terrifying and majestic to the extent, if we comprehended them, their very nature would annihilate us because man isn't meant to stand in the light of holiness; he can only exist in its shadow. We're alienated from the divine and the divine is alienated from us. That's eloquently brought home in Wim Wenders film, "Wings of Desire." An angel wants so desperately to be like us. When given that freedom, being a mortal human is better than being an immortal angel. A brief life such as ours, is far more meaningful than a limitless existence in which every possibility is already fulfilled. It all circles back to the Garden. Its mentioned only like an outro in Jewish literature and its never mentioned again. Compared to the reality of the world, heaven will always remain a dream. Everything that's meant to be human, is in the here and now and not over there in the hereafter. You could draw from it the paradoxical conclusion, that for all the vast difference in station between men and the angels, the truth is man is far more fulfilled than them.
I find it interesting how Angles have no will. If 1/3 of the angles fell as well as the 200 watchers who decided to have relationships with women do so because they were created to do so ? If so then WHY ?
I think Rabbi Friedman makes it up as he goes along. If angels do not have freewill then how do you explain Genesis 6:4? (The angels who kept not their first habitation he has kept under bondage in chains and gloomy darkness." (2nd Peter) I commend Julie for stating that death is the antithesis of divine when Friedman stated that the angel of death is a representation of divinity. The angel of death as it relates to the passover perhaps. But still I do not think the Rabbi's views are biblical. Freedman claimed that it is God's will that the Earth be holier than heaven, you know the world is evil continually in Jesus said that Satan is the god of this age. I could go on but definitely not a proper interpretation of what the Bible clearly teaches
@Julie Hartman The Meaning of Life or the purpose of life. Is to Not talking worldly desires as god., Nor taking sexual desires as god. But worship God (Allah) Alone.
Great interview. One comment. Rabbi Manis Friedman is in error about the alleged difference between Judaism and Christianity in relation to humans and errors. Christianity (Orthodox or Roman Catholic) clearly and unequivocally state that humans are greater than angels. I do not know where he got that from.
Rabbi, you are absolutely wrong about dogs. They choose to love you, choose to hate you, and can choose to love or hate you back. Sadly, the Torah does not give animals their due, and therefore you don’t realize or acknowledge their magnificence and worth. The Torah is lacking and incomplete. Because of this you fail to understand and fail to see for yourself how wondrous and wonderful animals are. Sad. Reminiscent of “The Emperor’s New Clothes.” Many, many, many animals have suffered egregiously because of this.

I am loving how she asks her questions, kind of understanding ❤
I have liked this man since his talks on the Jewish Channel….he takes the most profound subjects and breaks them down so that everyone can understand

Speaking of morality, how is Tel Aviv doing?

Obviously, "humans and angels" not "humans and errors".
I found this more disturbing than anything. Maybe I wasn't in the right frame of mind. It seemed he talked in circles much of the time.
Lol. Skip. Amazing vapidity from two preeminent narcissists.
