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.

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.

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.

What Makes a Jew Jewish? A Chabad Rabbi’s Answer

November 23rd, 2011 | Posted by orens in Judiasm - (0 Comments)

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.
