There, one will see and (begin to) think seriously that these laws ל ָּכ קי ִּתְעֶה ,ת ָּבַשׁ תֶכ ֶּס ַּמִמ 'ב קרֶֶפ ְּב הֶז ןָיְנִעְל א ָּבֶשׁ ְּכ וּלִּאְו

and in many of the details of these laws they are significantly .)הֶּזַה ןָיְנִע ָּב םירִ ְּבדְַמַה ןיִכרֲָע תֶכ ֶּסַמ ּדְ 'ג קרֶ ֶּפִמ תוֹיְג ֻּסַה

in Gemara Shabbat (he felt the subject was so serious that) he שׁיִאָה לֶשׁ וֹרְשָׁא לדֶֹּג תֶא תוֹרֲאָבְמַה תוֹדָּגַאָה ןֵכְו .הֶז
quoted (in great detail) the entire discourse contained in the ןוָֹעֶה ןִמ ַחרְֹבִל שׁיִאָה לַע בוּיִּח ה ָּמַכְו ,וֹקְלֶח ירְֵשַׁא ,ריִהָּזַה

of one who is careful in this regard. Praiseworthy is his lot and .ןֵמָא וּניֵמָי ְּב הרֵָהְמ ִּב ,וּנֵלֳאָגְל שׁיִחָיְו אוּה ךְוּר ָּב שׁוֹד ּקַָה
how great is the obligation one has to run away from this sin, as
one would run away from a fire. One should learn all of this and
become strengthened in their observance (in the observance of
these laws) and with certainty HaKadosh Baruch Hu will forgive
him for his past sins and help him not to fall again into this sin
in the future. HaKadosh Baruch Hu should help all of those who
are Gd fearing to become involved in this matter and to learn
and observe these mitzvot. And then with (absolute) assurance,
HaKadosh Baruch Hu will rush and bring closer our Geulah,
quickly, now in our times.
