what is the point?
seemingly you explain that the point is to have a relationship, & that is when we are something separate, but if the ultimate goal is the ascent, then there's no relationship there, we are 1 with him again, then we return to our question of what is the point?

What an extraordinary Rabbi!
Rabbi, what a wonderful discussion on the soul. Though much of what you said I have known, the way you describe it is truly wonderful and thought provoking.

The Soul coming from G-D
This was a clear and uplifting presentation.
Free will is magical when we human beings choose "good over evil."
Thank you Rabbi Friedman.

To Life !
Wisdom doesn't come with Youth!
Understanding will come with tears.
Success is doing G-ds will.
Mercy before Justice.
The value of Life is in its potential to do good.

Enjoy Life!
It's limited, You only get as much as you take.
