Some of us remember from our childhood a Country Yossi song called “Tick Tock.” The song, mimicking the sound of the ticking clock, was written as a stark reminder to hurry and do good things; there’s no time to waste, because we don’t have forever.
How ironic that today, the words “Tick Tock” have become the very symbol of time-wasting, as the various social media platforms gobble up more and more of people’s precious time.
In these days of widespread distraction, when life is swiftly passing by people hunched over their statuses, one of the greatest favors one can do is to reach them where they are and offer Toras Chaim and Divrei Elokim Chaim where they will see it, hear it and be affected by it.
Rabbi Manis Friedman has been blessed to be unusually successful in this life saving endeavor. Rabbi Friedman’s style needs no introduction – Chassidus in simple, down-to-earth English, meaningful and relevant to life in a tangible way. Wonderfully, if not surprisingly, his words have touched a nerve on the global, social media scene.
Between the various platforms, his messages – both short clips and long, involved lectures – have reached more than 50 million people. In fact, one TikTok video alone is nearing 9 million views (the most of any Rabbi on TikTok) These people have not remained silent, reaching out with words of gratitude and relief, thrilled to finally hear practical, spiritual ideas that move them, inspire them to action and make them feel close to G-d.
Jewish people write about how the videos have given them a new lease on life as a Jew. These men and women, old and young, who turned their backs on what they were taught in their youth – or who were taught nothing in their youth – are bubbling with excitement over the Chassidus they’re learning from Rabbi Friedman.
Countless non-Jewish people write about how they’ve long lost faith in the religion – or the lack of religion – of their parents and have found, after endless seeking, the truth they have been hungering for.
The feedback is deeply gratifying and a testimony to one of the greatest miracles of modern technology.
Rabbi Friedman’s office, led by his son Rabbi Zalman Friedman, is eager for even greater accomplishments. Ten million is a big number, but not in comparison to the world’s population. There isn’t a person on earth who does not need to hear these messages and until Rabbi Friedman’s videos become more popular than funny cat videos, their work is not done.
Please support this unprecedented project spreading the wisdom of Chassidus to the four corners of the world and the far reaches of the global community.
“Tick Tock” – Moshiach is almost here, and our chance to make a difference is here, with no time to waste. Let’s grab it, and change seven billion lives for the better, right now.

Best platform for sharing Yiddishe things because the young generation is all on that platform!!
Looks like you just want to stir up some controversy. TikTok could in fact reach the young crowd, but there’s really nothing to “love” about TkTok
I only get 243 hits on the 7 Laws of Noah and likes. Would Rabbi Manis please talk about it, and put the picture card on his own site to help save the world?
Please put the picture card with the 7 Laws of Noah and talk about it on your site!
