I can’t figure out how people are frum without chassidus. I was taught that way (without it) in my day school. B”H started learning Chassidus in time.

Rabbi friedman and crew, you are doing amazing work!! Always looking forward to what is next!

Who knew?

Who knew this would become a question, a debate.

Rabbi Friedman has been Shtureming about this for years now and from the video I see why! Does Hashem need our Mitzvahs? Is that a question in anyone’s mind? Could it be that people actually think there is no way to serve Hashem, it’s only really about us and our perfection?

Eibershter.

we know who is behind this...

Go Yoni Katz!!!!!

this video is the funniest
January 13, 2013 10:53 pm

hilarious, chassidus rocks!!!

and to number 2, your right, but the question is all about us in our daily lives, and the answer is yes, and the way the rabbi said it, “in his full essence he despertly needs our mitzvos”.

awesome!

There it explains the seeming contradictions in Chazal and how it depends what level you are talking about – but ulimately Torah and Mitvos are nogeah to Hashem B’Etzem.

i luv this!

Rabbi Manis Friedman is amazing! I luv this video!

wow...awesome presentation
January 13, 2013 7:54 pm

this is exactly what the women who became lubavitch spoke about…
Ultimately the reason is that Hashem does “need” us–to create a dirah b’tachtonim. Not to do mitzvos just to refine ourselves
