From The Rebbe

FERTILITY

“The vessel for receiving the Al-mighty’s blessing is behavior on a daily basis in accordance with His will. This is besides the fact that these are incumbent upon us as G-dly commandments. Each and every commandment is connected with a particular merit and force which it evokes. It is known that the blessing for fertility lies in keeping the laws of family purity.

1 — Perfect Marriage

By definition, there is no perfect marriage. Perfection is without flaw. It even suggests effortlessness. Marriage is not this.

Marriage is a framework in which two distinctly different individuals, from separate backgrounds and families, each with his/her own personal needs, form a new entity—a couple. Now, what really matters is the mutual good—the success of the marriage.

2 — Nidda, biblical

Although not directly related to the specific laws of family purity per se, there are a number of issues which the husband should be aware of in the larger context of married life.


The time of the wife's menstruation is, in many cases, and to varying degrees, an uncomfortable one for her. Even prior to the onset of menstruation some women experience the physical or emotional discomfort called Premenstrual Syndrome.

Concise Overview - Purity Cycle

About this Overview . This free PDF, describing the purity cycle as it most commonly occurs, is presented as a succinct reference. Note that almost every detail, however, can have deviations with potential repercussion, many of which are covered in this book.

4 – Absence Makes... (Separation laws)

The Talmudic Rabbis forbade being alone with women for whom marital relations are forbidden and the punishment for willing transgression, i.e., intercourse, is excision; for example, one's daughter-in-law or sister-in-law. This prohibition, called yichud, was designed to ensure modest and proper behavior.

3 — Stains, rabbinic

Some couples rarely have a question of purity based on finding a stain, while for others this may be a common occurrence. Regardless of frequency, a number of issues are common and important for every couple to bear in mind.


Don’t be overwhelmed by the details. To put them in perspective: a question rising from a stain is usually one found on the bedsheet, or toilet seat.

5 — Making Sure Menstruation Has Ceased


To ascertain the complete cessation of any bleeding, the wife who is a niddah performs an internal examination called a hefsek tahara. This is an indispensable prerequisite to counting the seven white days (as explained in Chapter Six).

6 — The Seven White Days

After the hefsek tahara, a woman waits seven days before going to the mikveh. During this time, she checks herself and her underwear twice daily. This time period, the seven white days, is based on the above verse.


7 — Preparation For The Mikveh

Prior to immersion in the mikveh, the entire body and hair is carefully washed and examined for intervening foreign substances. This is to ensure that no intervening substances which could invalidate the immersion are present on the woman’s body.

This process of cleansing and inspection is called hafifah.

11 — Intimate Relations

Judaism has a positive attitude towards marital relations, and views them in tune with our overall purpose as a holy nation.


It was not for nothing that King Solomon, the wisest of all men, chose the analogy of lovers to express the relationship of Hashem and the Jewish people in the “Song of Songs.” In Kabbalah and other Jewish literature, it is likewise used as an analogy of the dynamics of creative spiritual forces.
