I did a great deal of learning before my Chassuna and heard all types of advice from RABBIS as well as friends. Rabbi Manis was the first time I heard of such eidele prospective brought down in such poshute words

Thank You Rabbi Freidman!

Thank you for being so straightforward and helping us with topics as neglected as this.

I am signed up and so excited!

To #19 and #17

#17 – It is a very true point. Since, it’s not face to face, it allows the Rabbi to into more sensitive subjects. Also, he has a lot of experience speaking to woman. His main audience for the past many years are girls and woman from all backgrounds.

#19 – He just had a bit ago, a course for men as well. The good thing is, he has on youtube and on his website 11213.org great classes for free. If you’re a groom, you better go check that out.

You make a good point. but I think that the format of the series – not face to face, gives it the appropriate and best possible framework to a woman audience.

Is it right?
November 13, 2013 7:48 pm

I heard great things about Rabbi Friedman’s telephone calls for the men. Yasher Koach. But is it really going to work when a male talks about such sensitive topics with a telephone conference full of women?
I guess you’ll let us know…

moderating

Rabbi rothman did a great job moderating for the men. Who is moderating this for the women?

This course saved my marriage
November 13, 2013 6:13 pm

Neither my husband nor I had proper classes before marriage (we were older baal tshuvas) and struggled for 25 years, close to divorce. The class gave my husband the perspective of kedusha that has been missing in our marriage, and everything turned around. My life has changed so much for the better I can’t even find the words.I really look forward to doing the women’s class….. Baruch Hashem for Rabbi Freidman…..

this was a great series I listened I learned and I benefited in my daily life I wish everyone could take the course it’ll make their life richer

Chutzpa!!
November 13, 2013 5:53 pm

It takes extraordinary chutzpa (in an entirely positive sense) and breitkite to do offer this course and discuss this issue like he does. I participated in all the men’s calls and it amazing how reb manis literally walk the razors edge between being clear and direct without being vulgar or compromising on tznius or eidelkeit. So, so refreshing.
I would encourage everyone to take this course nad I would encourage all other teachers and mashpi’im to learn from him how to find that balance.
tovo olov brocho!!

Go Zalman!

You Da Best

does he sleep?
November 13, 2013 5:32 pm

IT seems like rabbi friedman in the last few years has devoted himself to teaching us, fellow chassidim. its so refreshing!!! it seems like everytime i go online, theres a nother class, call, talk, etc. A grosser yasher coach!!!!!

Crucial

Thank you Rabbi Friedman for your deep thoughts and insights. They have helped me in many ways.

Good! Good!
November 13, 2013 5:19 pm

I can’t get enough of rabbi friedman! Many blessing a on his head!

thank you!
November 13, 2013 5:08 pm

my husband took the course for men and i look forward to participating in this one. thanks for doing this.

Long overdue
November 13, 2013 4:59 pm

This is something that should have happened many years ago. Rabbi Friedman is a brilliant teacher and has such a unique understanding of practical application of Halacha. Any woman who joins this course will benefit herself, her husband and family forever

Been there done that...
November 13, 2013 4:53 pm

I took the course, to kind of fulfill some filial duty I thought I had to work on inproving my marriage even more… You know, here in la the women have a bi annual event for taharas hamishpacha review and inspiration. So I figured, I owe it to my family to sign up and kind of catch up. I was on all four calls, listened to the recordings and I can tell you that this course changed a lot of details in my family life. Baruch Hashem all changes for the better. I am married seven and a half years… Read more »
