When my oldest son began talking, one of the first things he tried to convey to me and his mother was he remembered being shown us before he was born. It was important to him that he communicate that to us for some reason. Now I know, after listening to you, what it was he wanted us to know. Thank you Rabbi. I didn't know you 2 weeks ago, and now you are very important to me spiritually.

Thank you Rabbi Friedman.
It is a comfort to our Heavenly Father to hear someone testifying to His true heart of love for us.

I love it how you are inventing God in your own image.

There is nothing better than an old man with a wise beard for the children. It never stops to amaze me.

I like rabbi Friedman's teachings, but I can't swallow the timeline being proposed here. Are we saying he didn't even start of to naming the animals, plants and other creation? He didn't get off to tending the garden? Didn't the Torah say God came in the cool of the evenings? And on the day Adam sinned, God returned in the cool of the evening. One thing I love about Judaism is that we are allowed to have questions and ask them. That way we are safe from human control through doctrines.

Thank you Mr Rabbi ❤ you have helped me understand more about the Bible in one day than my 48 years of being born into Christianity with a preacher earthly father. Wow thank you so much ❤

[johnward]

Thank you for this, Rabbi. I am of the Christian persuasion but I find what you say profound, as profound as the story of the woman taken in adultery. Together they make sense of the world I find myself in. In reply to some comments below, I have heard you say this before, but 1) it isn't any easy thing to really grasp, and 2) everyone needs to know it.

Toda rabbah Rabbi for the enlightenment. Gadol...

[theoutlawjoseywales]

So now i know this Rabbi makes things up I'll just enjoy his teachings as the fairytales they are🙃

[Rileydawgn]

So much knowledge in this small story. Thank you

[barbara]

That was one of his best videos in my opinion. I would love to hear all the stories in the Torah in this fashion, in order, so I can truly hear what is being told to us.

[rsbnicoy]

I cried after hearing the “true” story. I did not see any sin in this story. As what my previous church have taught. That is why i embraced the teaching of Judaism. Thank you Rabbi. 🙏

[matthewfoster]

So if it was all good
Why did he curse the snake

[davidabraham]

Amen Rabbi what amazing insights. Thank you for your insights and revelations it's much appreciated.

[kiya]

i wish everyone can hear this Thank you❤❤❤

Rabbi sir if this is true, why then did Yahweh stop Adam and eve from reaching out to take from the tree of life and why did they even attempt to do that when they have agreed to God's will??
And also why did God place angels and a flaming sword to block them from entering back into the garden?

[jcaj]

I just want to say that might be one of if not most profound thing I’ve ever heard. Translation and meaning/intent is of the utmost import.

[cat]

I am so very happy to hear this story of Adam and Eve, now it makes total sense to me. TY Rabbi for sharing your knowledge with us, so many have only heard this from the wrong point of view. I'm excited to hear more of the Torah from the right angle.
