Jewish Marriage Counseling with Humor

December 27th, 2011 | Posted by kristing in Judiasm | Relationship Advice - (0 Comments)

One of the Rabbi’s upcoming events in California starts with this teaser:

If he’s from Mars and she’s from Venus, do we really think it’s going to work? A lighthearted look at the institution of marraige and the need to maintain a good sense of humor to keep it healthy.

If there’s one thing this Rabbi knows, it’s how to keep a good sense of humor. While speaking all over the United States and in several other countries, he has been praised for his wit and humor while dealing with serious topics such as marriage advice.

If you used to laugh a lot during the early parts of your relationship and some of that laughter has gone away, you need to find it once again. With Rabbi Friedman’s take on Jewish marriage counseling, you’ll be grinning from ear to ear when you leave.

For those that are interested in getting marriage advice from the Rabbi, you can visit his website to get a free training course to improve your marriage. You can also head to his event that is taking place farther down the line in February on the 15th in California which is sure to be full of insight and laughter.

If you’re looking for a great way to celebrate Chanukah this year, you definitely don’t want to miss Rabbi Manis Friedman at the Berkeley Hotel in Asbury Park, NJ.

Regardless of the time of year, Asbury Park is a great place to visit with its miles and miles of boardwalks and its amusement parks. There’s fun for the whole family there, but especially at Chanukah. The beach goers have all left and it’s a great little town to be in.

The Berkeley hotel is right on the ocean and has amazingly lavish rooms and suites for you to enjoy your holiday in. Being comfortable and having fun extends to all of the great programs that Jewish speaker, Rabbi Friedman has planned! You’ll hear him speak on the practicality of Chanukah in your daily life and it’s great religious and spiritual significance.

Don’t forget to head over to the Friday night Kumzitz with Benny Friedman. This is sure to be a relaxing and uplifting evening of music. There’s also going to be a Motzei Shabbos concert with guest performers. Not to be missed!

Gather up the children, family members, and friends and head over to New Jersey for a wonderful holiday experience you will never forget.

The address for the Berkeley Hotel is: 1401 Ocean Avenue, Asbury Park, NJ.

Celebrate with Rabbi Friedman

December 12th, 2011 | Posted by kristing in Judiasm - (0 Comments)

This coming Wednesday, come and celebrate the holiday of Yud Tes Kislev with Rabbi Friedman. This very special holiday that will “herald good tidings.” This year, if you are interested in hearing a great Jewish speaker on 19 Kislev you should come to Michigan to hear Rabbi Friedman speak. With his always sharp wit and clarity, the Rabbi will be discussing this celebration of tidings and explaining it’s significance.

To those that are unaware, 19 Kislev and 20 Kislev are celebrations of liberation. It is when Rabbi Shneur Zalman, the first Chabad Rabbi (also known as Alter Rebbe in Yiddish) was released from prison. He was being held in prison on false charges of conspiring with the Ottoman Empire which controlled Israel. His crime? Sending money to poor Jews to support them. Obviously this was an erroneous reason for imprisonment.

Several stories about Alter Rebbe’s stay in prison have been documented, including one of him being visited by a government minster and being extensively questioned about his beliefs.

This year, come and celebrate the herald of good tidings with Rabbi Friedman. This event will take place at Bais Chabad of North Oak Park. The admission is $20. You can find out more information at Rabbi Friedman’s website.

Chabad of Aventura, Florida Talk

December 6th, 2011 | Posted by kristing in Judiasm - (0 Comments)

If you happen to be in the Aventura, Florida area in the next day or so, you really need to stop in and see Rabbi Friedman’s talk titled “Warning! Religion may be harmful to your health” The Rabbi will be using his own brand of wit and religion to bring you what promises to be a fantastic talk.

In this lecture the Jewish speaker will be talking about the affects of becoming more religious in today’s society. The talk will be based around the topics of the seemingly religious acting in an immoral fashion and what becoming more religious might mean to you and your station in a functioning society.

We’ve all seen someone who we looked up to doing something they shouldn’t. How does that affect us? How do we handle the knowledge that someone who we admired is not all we thought? How do we stay true to our religious beliefs in a world that is seemingly hostile to the showing of these beliefs?

Learn about these topics and many more at the Chabad Rabbi‘s lecture on Wednesday, December 7, 2011. It is free and open to the public! You can find more information at Rabbi Friedman’s website: http://www.rabbifriedman.org.

The talk will be held at 8pm and is at 21001 Biscayne Blvd., Aventura, FL.
