  • What Judaism Really Says About Death, Heaven & Reincarnation with Rabbi Manis Friedman (#224)
    Sep 1 2025

    Rabbi Manis Friedman joins me on DEAD Talks to unpack some of life’s biggest questions: Why are we here? Why do we fear death? What really happens after we die?

    From Judaism’s view on the afterlife, reincarnation, heaven, and resurrection, to the universal search for meaning and purpose.

    💡 In this episode, we dive deep into:

    • Why Judaism teaches bringing God to earth is more important than “getting to heaven”
    • Why death is temporary and nobody dies “by accident”
    • What the process of dying looks like according to Jewish teachings
    • Reincarnation, resurrection, and the soul’s journey after death
    • The difference between purpose and love — and why humans need to be needed

    For more on Rabbi Manis Friedman ⁠CLICK HERE⁠

    Whether you’re religious, spiritual, or simply curious about life after death, this episode will make you think differently about existence, grief, and what it means to truly live.

    🔥 Watch until the end — Rabbi Friedman reveals a powerful perspective on grief, heaven, and why we should stop believing in death.
