Family in Crisis

February 14th, 2012 | Posted by orens in Judiasm | Relationship Advice - (0 Comments)

Rabbi Manis FriedmanIt is estimated that 40% of American children are born out of wedlock. That number has been steadily rising for years. Divorce rates also remain high. It is difficult to hold a family together in this day and age. Too many couples do not know who to turn to when they have marital problems. Good marriage advice can be the difference between divorce and marital bliss.

Rabbi Manis Friedman has been offering marriage advice to couples for many years. He understands the complexity and nuance it takes to make a marriage work. He has helped so many couples and he will be able to help you. Friedman uses time tested Torah knowledge to guide him as he guides you from the stormy seas of disharmony to the placid lakes of peaceful matrimony.

Although many families are crumbling under the weight of the modern world, your family doesn’t have to be one of them. There is no marriage that is beyond repair. You should be making the most of your marriage; after all you are going to be married until you (or your partner) die. Put your marriage in the able hands of Rabbi Manis Friedman, you will be glad you did.

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.

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.

Rabbi Manis Friedman offers a wide variety of lecture dvds, cds, and books about gaining a greater understanding of the Torah. Whether you are interested in one specific area of Torah learning or just want a greater understanding of the Torah and Judaism, Rabbi Manis Friedman has the answers you are looking for.

If you are still hesitant go to Rabbi Manis Friedman’s website, you can see some free videos and learn a little bit more about the award winning Rabbi who will guide you in your quest for greater spiritual understanding. Are you read for your quest to begin? Because Rabbi Manis Friedman is ready to guide you.

chabad rabbiBeing Jewish is special and it comes from within. But it also involves following a set of laws and codes that have been handed down over millenniums. If you  think of yourself as Jewish, then you are. But that is the same reason to do mitzvahs.

Some Jews ask, “Why do mitzvahs?” A chabad rabbi may respond, “Why not do mitzvahs?” If you’re Jewish, and you think of yourself as such, wouldn’t you want to act according to the Jewish laws? Wouldn’t you want to be a good Jew rather than a bad one?

Manis Friedman offers the same logic. When people are reluctant to keep kosher, they say “I’ve lived my whole life this way, why should I start keeping kosher now?” Because non-Jews don’t. And even if you feel Jewish deep within without doing any mitzvahs, then what makes you Jewish? Your heritage, sure. But if you’re one of God’s children then don’t you want to respect and honor that responsibility? For with greatness comes great responsibility, and wouldn’t it be nice to be a great Jew?

If questions like this preoccupy you, listen to Manis Friedman‘s torah online talks. He’s able to provide logical insights into everyday issues.
