Rabbi Friedman's
We have been listening to Rabbi Friedman for the past 8 years. Both my wife and I are now in the process of conversion to Judaism. We were searching for the truth and we now know that Judaism is the truth. No words of thanks can appropriately express our gratitude to Rabbi Friedman. G-d bless Rabbi Friedman.

Living the Rebbe's Legacy
Rabbi Friedman's explanation of the differences between believing and knowing is very powerful. Outside information can lead one to believe but we are to know G-d from within through experience, the perfection of emunah (faith).

The Rebbe's Legacy by Manis Friedman
I have listened to Rabbi Friedman's commentary on Tanya for two years. I have been moved by the Rebbe's programs to become a mitzvah Jew for two years. I really appreciate this talk as it gives my daily life as a Jew clarity and Direction. We want Moshiach now.
The Rebbe said a chassidic discourse and personally gave it out to thousands of people shortly before he passed away. In it, he explains the role of the ‘shepherds of the people’; the Jewish leaders. It sets the tone for the future and tells us what we need to do to reveal G-dliness in this world. (1:40:00)
Rabbi Kaplan explains what happens when the soul leaves the body and the concept of a Yahrtzeit. How is it that Chabad copes after the 3rd of Tamuz -- the passing of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, of blessed memory. What is the significance of the passing of a tzaddik.

Its a mitzvah to imitate our creator. We also try to imitate a Rebbe, teacher or mentor. A chasid tries to acquire at least some measure of his Rebbe's personality and character. This class tries to give us an observation of one measure of the Rebbe's qualities which we may try to emulate.
