SECRET OF THE BRIT is a
study of Jewish sexuality based on the holy Zohar. The book's
commentary unlocks the hidden esoteric treasures of the Zohar and reveals that a
life of sexual purity is the key to Divine blessing and health, for the
individual and for the Jewish People as a whole.
While
the Zohar
seems to indicate in several places that there is no tikun (rectification) for transgressions of the Covenant, in other
places it states that repentance is indeed possible, even for severe sexual transgressions
- with a great t'shuva.
General
guidelines regarding t'shuva, and
specific guidelines regarding Tikun
HaBrit, are included in the book. Every reader is encouraged to study them,
for it is precisely in these sensitive, sexual matters that it is written, "For there is not a man who is so righteous
on earth who does good and never sins" (Kohelet,
7:20).
