Only Her Hairdresser Knows Question:
We belong to a modern Orthodox shul. Some of the married women in the community wear hats, a few wear the kerchiefs like the kind you see in Israel among the settlers, others wear wigs, and there are those who don’t wear any head covering at all. To my chagrin, my wife prefers attractive wigs that look even nicer than real hair. Since she is a good-looking woman, her flowing locks attract a lot of glances from men, and I am very uncomfortable with this. Am I right to demand that she wear more most head covering, or, for the sake of peace in the home, should I shut up and try to overcome my feelings?

Don’t Worry – Be Happy Question: For a long time now I have been plagued by sexual fantasies that won’t go away. I’ve tried doing tshuva as hard as I can, including immersing in a cold mikvah, fasting, rolling in the snow, saying the Tikun HaClalli every day, increasing my Torah learning, and reciting Tikun Hatzot wearing a sack cloth. I’ve had periods of a few weeks where I thought I had things under control, but then the fantasies return with even more urgency, leading me to transgress and to despise myself for my failure. Maybe you can tell me. Am I doing something wrong?   Read more...

Driven to Thoughts of Suicide Question:
I am desperate and don’t know what to do. I can’t stop watching porn on the Internet and masturbating. Sometimes it’s the first thing I do in the morning. After school, I hurry home for more. My parents work so no one bothers me. Anyway I have my own room. It’s the same thing at night. I don’t have friends anymore. When I pray in synagogue, I just mouth the words. The only break I have is on the Sabbath when I can’t use the computer. I walk around feeling like a criminal, knowing I have something terrible that I am hiding from everyone. After my bouts of forbidden pleasure, I feel dirty and super depressed. Sometimes I have thoughts about killing myself and putting an end to everything. That’s the story.

JEWISH SEXUALITY
TORAH, KABBALAH, AND SEX


This website is a study of Shmirat HaBrit, based on the Torah, the teachings of our holy Jewish Sages, and the Kabbalah.  Shmirat HaBrit means "guarding the Covenant" by observing the laws of proper sexual behavior. The essays posted emphasize the exalted importance of Shmirat HaBrit to the spiritual and material wellbeing of each and every Jew, to the Nation of Israel, and to the world.

In light of the many questions received in response to Tzvi Fishman’s article on the Arutz Sheva website , regarding the Kabbalist, Rabbi Eliahu Leon Levi, shlita, and Shmirat HaBrit, we are making  available excerpts from Tzvi Fishman’s newly published book,  Secret of the Brit - Torah, Kabbalah, and Sex. These essays may be copied and distributed in order to spread the wisdom and light of the Torah. They are based on the words of our Torah Sages; the secrets of the holy Zohar; and the teachings of the Kabbalist, Rabbi Eliahu Leon Levi, shlita.

Pornoholics Anonymous and its dynamic new Forum are designed to help people addicted to pornography on the Internet escape from its clutches and forge a life-healing connection to G-d.

In addition, the in-progress section on the Art of T'shuva explains the teachings of Rabbi Kook on t'shuva in a clear and concise manner to help readers start out on a joyous new path in life.  

Tzvi Fishman was awarded the Israel Ministry of Education Prize for Creativity and Jewish Culture. His books on Judaism and Jewish themes include: "Tuvia in the Promised Land," "Days of Mashiach," "The Kuzari For Young Readers," and four books on the teachings of Rabbi Kook, "Torat Eretz Yisrael," "War and Peace," "The Art of T'shuva," and "Lights on Orot," co-written with Rabbi David Samson.

The Torah learning on this site is dedicated to the rafuah shlemah of Nachama bat Sarah Shaindel, and the aliyat neshama of Elchanan ben Yehuda, z"l.
