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

About DEAD Talks
DEAD Talks with David Ferrugio approaches death differently. Each guest shares raw stories of grief, loss, or unique perspectives that challenge the “don’t talk about death” taboo. Grief doesn’t end—it evolves. After losing his father on September 11th at just 12 years old, David discovered the power of conversation. Through laughter, tears, and honest dialogue, DEAD Talks helps make it a little easier to talk about death, mourning, trauma, and the life that continues beyond it.
