In honor of the High Holidays and the 10 days of repentance, renowned teacher and speaker Rabbi Manis Friedman led an inspirational conference call urging listeners to conduct honest introspection.
Several hundred people from around the world dialed in to hear him speak about the fundamentals of Rosh Hashana according to Chassidus and answered some questions from participants.
“The biggest challenge facing us today is we are so indifferent,” he said. It is scary to care in such a messed up world.”
He recommended: “Set yourself a goal. If you do 50% of it, that is 100% of what HaShem wants!”
He also called for honest introspection. “Cheshbon Hanefesh as defined by Reb Mendel Futerfas…what has HaShem done for me this past year…and what have I done for Him?”

Wow.
Its amazing that Rabbi Friedman always talks about Hashem
Hes obsessed and wants us to be too
there are tons of chabadniks who grew up in that 60s era. they have taken their talents, be it their music, their family values, their searching souls, and turned it around for a positive jewish experience. i don’t think these so called past hippies need to be straightened out by the rabbi; they have already gone through many histalshilus and levels to get where they are today. ask any california elder rabbinical
i will definitely be there
I guess Number 4 means he grew up in the 60s hippie era, so there are a lot of “FRY” issues to deal with… definitely needs Rabbi Friedman big time to straighten him out.
No cost is mammish a gift from the great mashpia!
Especially when having to deal with changing one’s lifestyle in big dramatic ways. I’d say the middle path to take it slowly but surely in different departments of yiddishkeit will do the trick for the 1960s Baalei Teshuva people.
What a treasure we have in our community.
Thank you Rabbi Friedman for continuing to inspire us.
It’s like a farbrengen. I appreciate this a lot.
there is no cost to participate! anyone can join in and learn!
