Featured Educators
RABBI MANIS FRIEDMAN is a gifted educator, internationally acclaimed lecturer, social philosopher, author and counselor. Using his trademark wit and wisdom, he challenges our assumptions about Judaism, spirituality and G-d, and sheds new light on our most important relationships. Friedman’s compelling worldview comes from Torah, Kabbala and Chassidut, and he is a master at conveying deeply profound concepts in concrete, relevant terms and in putting our Divine mission and purpose within reach. He has over forty years experience in the classroom and on the lecture floor, a profound knowledge of the soul and psyche, and a crystal clear perspective on life today, much of it garnered from the many thousands of women he’s counseled at Bais Chana.
Friedman’s speaking tours have taken him to most of the 50 states, as well as Canada, South and Central America, Israel, Europe, South Africa, Australia and Hong Kong. His first book, Doesn’t Anyone Blush Anymore?, was published by Harper San Francisco. He’s been featured in over 200 print articles internationally, and has been interviewed on more than 50 television and radio talk shows. He has appeared on CNN, A&E Reviews, PBS and BBC Worldwide, and has been the subject of articles in the New York Times, Rolling Stone, Seventeen, Guideposts, Insight, Publisher’s Weekly and others.
