Rectifying Anger
by the revered Kabbalist, HaRav Eliahu Leon Levi
You should know, my dear child, you have arrived into this world in order to rectify character traits that you blemished in your previous reincarnation. And you are obliged to do this work now, as quickly as possible, before our righteous redeemer comes – may it be soon. Only in this manner will you reach the promised shore and be united with your Creator in the bonds of love, and thus merit to be called a friend and loved one to Hashem.
It is known the attribute of anger is at the head of the ladder of character traits demanding correction. A Jew is the pinnacle and foundation of creation, and anger is a most evil sickness that causes him to lose all of the noble things within him.
Rectifying anger is very difficult, requiring many days and nights of strenuous and painstaking work, but all to the good. In the majority of cases, this trait deceives you and has you believing that, “Thank G-d, I have finally mastered my temper, and thank G-d, I am not overly stringent with people and don’t get angry anymore. On the contrary, I control my emotions and almost resemble an angel, just like Hillel the Elder, may his name be for a blessing.”

The Woman's Role In Building The TorahIn this generation, in order to save the Jewish People from our tribulations, the foremost responsibility rests with the holy women and daughters of Israel to play an active role in helping to upraise the generation in the study of Torah and in the practice of mitzvot (commandments).

Tikun HaYesod - Learning and Penitential Prayer |

Introduction
by Tzvi Fishman
As we have previously written in the essay, “Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf,” that while repentance is always accepted before G-d, the 10 days of t'shuva between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, and the period of “Shovavim” (the 6 straight weeks starting with parshat Shemot) are especially propitious times to atone for sexual transgressions. To help readers, we have translated a powerful penitential prayer composed by the renowned Torah scholar, Rabbi Aharon Rota, of blessed memory, author of the classic works, “Taharat HaKodesh” and “Shomer Emunim.”
This prayer and the learning that precedes it are designed to cleanse a person of sexual transgressions, known as blemishes to the Brit. These transgressions, including the spilling of semen in vain (masturbation), pre-marital sex, sexual relations with non-Jews, relations with a woman in her “niddah” menstrual period, adultery, improper relations with one’s wife, including premature ejaculation, forbidden incestuous relations, and the like, all of these are also known as blemishes to the “Yesod.”

THE PROHIBITION OF SEXUAL FANTASIES by Rabbi Daniel Frish
*It is forbidden for a man to engage in sexual fantasies. This applies to single men, and to married men alike. Not only is a married man not allowed to fantasize about other women, he is also not to preoccupy himself with sexual fantasies regarding his wife. Many men are lax in this matter, falsely believing that everything is permissible with one’s wife.

Behold, the Torah prohibitions that concern forbidden thoughts (like worshipping idols, heresy, and sexual fantasies) are considered transgressions, even if they are not acted upon at all. The thought itself is already a transgression.

Sometimes, people say that this website is misleading in its emphasis on Kabbalah, and that its fire and brimstone warnings and strict interpretations are not justified, and that publishing these teachings is potentially injurious, since realizing the weight of the transgression could bring a person to depression and despair, causing him to abandon Judaism altogether, G-d forbid. Especially, they claim, because masturbation, or spilling semen in vain, are not prohibited by the Torah.

Tikun HaKlali
"Vidui" - Prayer
[After reciting the Tehillim of the Tikun HaKlali, it is very beneficial to say this prayer, composed by Rabbi Nachman's foremost student, Rabbi Natan:]
"I will sing to the L-rd as long as I live, I will: I will sing praise to my G-d while I live. Let the outpouring of my words be sweet; I will rejoice in the L-rd" (Tehillim, 104:33).
