[Composed by Rabbi Natan of Breslov, foremost disciple of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov] May it be Thy will the L-rd my G-d, and G-d of my forefathers, that you assist me and grant me the merit in Your great compassion and your awesome kindness, that I speedily merit to truly feel the pain of my many abundant and awful sins, transgressions, and willful violations of the Torah that are piled up high to the sky, as innumerable as the sands of the earth - especially the sexual sins that I committed which blemished the Covenant of the Brit, the blemishes to the seminal drops that issue forth from the brain, that I spilled in vain, whether accidentally or knowingly, whether against my will or willfully. |

Be Fruitful and Multiply!
by the revered Kabbalist, HaRav Eliyahu Leon Levi“And G-d blessed them, and G-d said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill up the land.” (Bereshit, 1:28.)
The very first commandment of the Torah is the mitzvah “to be fruitful and multiply.” This obligation precedes all of the other commandments of the Torah. For the Divine Presence does not descend to illuminate its earthy branches except through the decent of heavenly souls into this world. For this reason, a man must be fruitful and multiply, in order to bring celestial souls into this world. For when a soul is brought into this world, an exalted heavenly light spreads forth below. Thus, this is a very great mitzvah, immeasurable in its worth, and all other commandments are dwarfed beside it.
For this reason, a man who has not yet married and started a home, it is like he has not yet achieved anything. For this mitzvah is the foundation of the world, and all of the other commandments do not come to life except through this commandment, since everything else is dependent upon it, since through it all of the other commandments may be observed in all of their wholeness.
There is no way for any Jew in the world to ascend the ladder of holiness and to enter its inner chambers until he is married.

Modesty And Tight-Fitting Garments |

A Cry From The Heart
(From the book, "The Crown of Modesty" by the scholarly Kabbalist, Rabbi Daniel Frish, zatzal, author of the commentary on the Zohar, "Matok M'Dvash").
It is time to seriously examine the terrible breach brought about by clothes that hug the body in a provocative manner.  When we contemplate to the depth of the matter, we must know that every time a woman goes out wearing a tight-fitting garment - even without intending to cause damage, but merely to appear "more attractive" - behold, she returns home burdened with thousands of serious transgressions, may the Almighty have mercy!

The Holiness Of The Mikvah |

By the Gaon, Rabbi Aharon Rota
(Excerpted from the article "Taharat HaMikvah" in the book "Taharat HaKodesh")
You should know, my brother, that in addition to the purification that comes from immersing in a mikvah, an exalted matter in itself, when a person immerses with the intent of sanctifying himself, he draws over himself a great holiness. Immersing in a mikvah is also one of the main paths to rectifying blemishes to the soul (nefesh), others being repentance through fasting, self-chastisement, and tears.
