Letter to All Jewish Couples
With G-d's Great Help - ב"ה
DEAR SIR AND MADAM,
Mazal Tov Mazal Tov Mazal Tov
MAY YOU HAVE MUCH SUCCESS IN BUILDING A HAPPY AND HEALTHY JEWISH HOME BASED ON TORAH AND MITZVAS, WITH MUCH AHAVA- LOVE, BRIUT-HEALTH AND SHALOM BAIT- PEACE IN THE HOME.
IN YOUR QUEST FOR SELF IMPROVEMENT, IMPROVING YOUR MIDOT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF YOUR FAMILY AND CHILDREN. AS I HAVE STATED MANY TIMES, THERE IS NO ROOM FOR ANGER IN THE HOUSEHOLD. YOU MUST TRY TO BE PATIENT AND TOLERANT WITH EACHOTHER AND WITH YOUR CHILDREN IN EVERY SITUATION.
I AM IN THE BUSINESS OF HEALTH, PHYSICAL EMOTIONAL AND SPIRITUAL. A HAPPY HOUSEHOLD IS A HEALTHY HOUSEHOLD AND HAPPY KIDS GROW UP LISTENING TO THEIR PARENTS. YOU MUST LOOK AFTER YOUR CHIDREN. FEED THEM HEALTHY FOODS, KEEP THEM HAPPY AND LOVING THE TORAH AND MITZVAS. YOUR CHILDREN ARE YOUR TOOLS TO GROW. LOVE THEM AND EDUCATE THEM WITH LOVE AND ENCOURAGEMENT, NOT SO MUCH WITH THE PRESSURE OF BEING GOOD ENOUGH. IN THIS AGE MUSSAR IS LESS IMPORTANT THAN TENDERNESS AND CARE. THIS WAY GOD WILL LOVE YOUR PARENTING AND SHED MUCH LIGHT ON YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. TALK TO YOUR CHILDREN ABOUT GOD'S PRESENCE IN THE WORLD AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY. BE THANKFUL FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE AND TEACH YOUR CHILDREN TO BE THANKFUL FOR EVERYTHING THEY HAVE. TEACH THEM, BY EXAMPLE, NOT TO COMPLAIN. THIS IS REAL AVODAT HASHEM. TAKE THEM TO NATURE AND TALK TO THEM ABOUT THE WONDERS THAT GOD CREATED.
TEACH YOUR CHILDREN TORAH AND IMPORTANTLY, TEACH THEM HOW IT RELATES TO THIS LIFE THAT WE ARE LIVING. TEACH THEM FROM AN EARLY AGE THAT WE MUST TRY TO EMULATE OUR FOREFATHERS IN THE ATTRIBUTES OF KINDNESS AND LOVE. HAVE YOUR CHILDREN INVOLVED IN THE MITZVAS WITH JOY. TEACH YOUR CHILDREN, BY EXAMPLE AND WITH MUCH REPITITION, THAT WE MUST ONLY TALK GOOD ABOUT OURSELVES AND OTHERS. THAT WE MUST SHARE AND HELP EACHOTHER WHENEVER ASKED. LISTEN TO WHAT YOU SAY TO YOUR CHILDREN, YOU NEED TO HEAR IT ALSO. WHAT WE SAY IS IMPORTANT FOR OWN DEVELOPMENT.
THE FAMILY LIFE, IF WE ARE AWARE AND ACTIVE IN OUR DESIRE TO IMPROVE OURSELVES, IS AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO GROW IN MANY WAYS.
OF COURSE I WOULD LIKE TO STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF TAHARAT HAMISHPACHA – FAMILY PURITY. NOWADAYS MORE THAN EVER IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW ALL THE LAWS REGARDING THIS MITZVA, PRACTICE THEM AND TEACH THEM TO YOUR FRIENDS WHO MAY NOT KNOW. IN ERAS GONE BY JEWISH WOMEN HAD TO GO THROUGH EXTREME CHALLENGES TO KEEP THE FAMILY PURITY LAWS, GOING TO FREEZING LAKES TO TOVEL, USING SECRET MIKVAS WITH THEIR LIVES THREATENED BY PERSECUTING NATIONS IF THEY WERE CAUGHT TRYING TO KEEP THIS MITZVA. NOW WE HAVE MIKVAS EVERYWHERE AND AS MUCH FREE EDUCATION ABOUT THIS MITZVA AS WE WANT.
I URGE YOU TO CONSULT A RABBI IN YOUR AREA ABOUT ANY ISSUES THAT YOU HAVE IN ORDER TO SUCCEED IN PERFORMING TEHARAT HAMISHPACHA TO THE BEST OF YOUR ABILITY.
HAVING A RABBI ALSO HELPS WITH MANY OTHER ISSUES AND IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
I WISH YOU MUCH SUCCESS. MAY GOD BLESS YOU WITH ALL THE BEST OF HEALTH, HAPPINESS, SHALOM AND SIMCHA IN YOUR HOME, AND MAY YOUR FAMILY GROW TO SEE THE BUILDING OF THE BEIT HAMIKDASH SPEEDILY IN OUR DAYS.
