This is an opportunity to transform your entire life and put your marriage on the pedestal it was meant to be. Is there ANY EXPENSE more impt than building a healthy foundation for a happy, fulfilled life, marriage? Get the money and run….grab this amazing chance to make it real!

What Rabbi Friedman says really hits home (my heart)

I cannot believe our good fortune that 11213.org affords. Hours and hours of clear, practical applications of Chassidus, as well as…………forget it, it doesn’t matter. I am saddened that we no longer recognize clear and pure truth (and I speak of people in my own life who used to recognize good from bad, and no longer do.) He is speaking true goodness, he is trying to take us higher. Let him uplift us.

How do you propose rabbi manis make a living? As you can see from col alone, he’s spending a tin of time teaching anash these days. Should he not be paid properly for his time and effort? But, I understand that it may be money that you don’t have. So here’s what I think. If you’re not spending money on anything but real necessities and you honestly can’t pay the fee for this course and you really want to participate, then send the rabbis office a private email. But don’t come on here and complain that IT is too expensive.… Read more »

Being on Shlichus and being privy to different non yet frum or semi frum couples, it is very clear that the farther you go from yiddishkeit and eidelkeit takes away from your marriage and usually ends up in divorce

great call tonight!

However, unfortunately not everyone can afford to go to the country, or go to the out of town wedding or buy new things for their family and we have to do without because we don’t have the money for these things! Does that mean that our marriages can’t be made better? Do we have to suffer on every part of life? Yes, it hurts! The Aibishter gives us all money – some He gives more to and some He gives less to. The ones that get less would also like to benefit from this course 🙁

I participated. Worth every penny!!

Rabbi Friedman is so down to earth, so well spoken and grounded. At the same time, he doesn’t water down yidishkait and chasidiskait! he brings out the beauty of al the details and minhogim in intimacy – how its all there to enrich our relationships spiritually and emotionally.

Wow! Such srong and encouraging words!

Not too expensive
December 5, 2013 9:35 pm

We pay more than that for a trip to the country, to travel to a wedding out of town, to buy a new hat for our husbands. It hurts, it’s tough, but there are things in our life that are worth it. This is one of them. I’m in!

Please reply!

Would love to join. Such important information… But way too expensive 🙁

Any way to purchase a recording for cheaper?

sounds like what the rebbe would say… Rabbi Friedman thinks like a yid- like a chosid!

Rabbi Friedman is right
December 5, 2013 2:35 pm

Rabbi Friedman is saying exactly what we feel.
We want what is ideal, not watered down yiddishkeit.

Amazing!!

I love every one of rabbi friedmans courses! I would pay top dollar for a lifetime membership!

It's so easy to sit on the side and criticize.

Naysayers. Go away. I’m signed up and appreciate it a lot. Folks.
