In this video, meet Shimon Fredman, a rabbi with a life-changing story.

Shimon Fredman is 66 years old and served as the rabbi at Beth Tikva Congregation in Asheville, North Carolina, for over 30 years. Coming from a long line of Jewish scholars, with both his father and grandfather having led prominent congregations, Shimon felt a deep connection to his heritage. As a child, he aspired to follow in their footsteps, dedicating his life to upholding the sacred traditions of the Jewish faith.

Shimon’s daily routine was predictable and comforting. His mornings began in a cozy study, filled with Torah commentaries, Talmudic texts, and a mix of classical and modern Jewish thought. His desk was often cluttered with sermon notes, references to the weekly parasha, and personal letters from congregation members seeking guidance. The tall, narrow window in his study offered a view of the peaceful street outside, a reflection of his introspective lifestyle, which was often immersed in spiritual matters rather than the distractions of everyday life.

However, everything changed when Shimon experienced a life-altering near-death experience (NDE) that shook his very understanding of faith and the Messiah. In this video, Shimon shares the profound insights he gained during this extraordinary experience and how it transformed his life and beliefs forever. Prepare to be inspired by his incredible journey from rabbi to a witness of divine truth.
