DRAFT

An entry summarizing the Lubavitcher Rebbe's approach

Tikkunim for Zera Levatala

  • Bringing youth closer to Yiras Shamayim, Torah and Mitzvos.[1]
  • Reciting (verbally[2]) words of Torah and Tefilla[3]
    • Recite words of Torah or Tefilla when walking in the street.[4]
  • Reminder about learning Chitas (daily shiur of Chumash, Tehillim and Tanya)[5].
  • Hesech Hadaas from the topic[6]
    • Even from thinking about the seriousness of the sin, and the importance of the Tikun. Engage deeply with learning and davening, and do this all with simcha.[7]
  • Refrain from eating or drinking for 1.5-2 hours before going to sleep (light snacks are okay).[8]
  • Tzedaka
    • In Letter 1142: 3 times in the morning, and 3 times before Mincha. until Yom Kippur.
  • Instead of fasting...
    • Think about yourself for 15 minutes each day.

Dealing with Thoughts

  • Hesech Hadaas
  • Prepare words of Torah that can be recited by heart[9]
    • Benefit: Improper thoughts are attracted to a void. Reciting words of Torah, and even just knowing them by heart can help.[10]

Notable Omissions

  • Kavana during קריאת שמע שעל המיטה (as mentioned in Tanya)
  • Getting professional help
