Getting Closer
Rabbi Friedman explores the platform on which relationships are built. What is true closeness and how do we achieve it? What does it mean to "be invited"?
And most importantly, what does this say about our relationship with G-d? How do we become more than obedient, but attached? 1 Watch (4:55) |  |

Are You Proud to be a Jew?
Rabbi Manis Friedman discusses how 2,000 years of being discriminated against has affected our self-awareness as Jews. How do we heal? How do we stand up, not in spite of our Jewishness, but because of it? What does it mean to be "Jewishly Proud"? 7 Watch (3:51) |  |

Learning Something New
How should you respond when hearing something new, something you've never heard before? On what basis can we reject an idea? When we are skeptical, are we really being intelligent, or is it simply an emotional hesitation?
Rabbi Friedman shares how skepticism can be a "bad habit" and helps us rethink our attitude when it comes to learning new things. 4 Watch (3:35) |  |
