[עַל־פִּי תּוֹרָה ל"ו - בִּקְרֹב עָלַי מְרֵעִים]
שְׁמַע אֱלֹהִים קוֹלִי בְשִׂיחִי מִפַּחַד אוֹיֵב תִּצֹּר חַיָּי. יְהֹוָה שִׁמְעָה בְקוֹלִי תִּהְיֶינָה אָזְנֶיךָ קַשֻּׁבוֹת לְקוֹל תַּחֲנוּנָי. יְהֹוָה קְרָאתִיךָ חוּשָׁה לִּי הַאֲזִינָה קוֹלִי בְּקָרְאִי לָךְ.

*Overcoming physical cravings / Holiness of the eyes / Attachment to the tzaddik / Moses / Deepening one’s understanding of the Torah*
The exile of the Jewish people among the seventy nations of the world is reflected in microcosm in the inner world of the individual Jew when he finds himself under attack from his physical desires. Each of the seventy nations is associated with a particular negative trait or desire. The root of all of them is the “all-encompassing desire,” namely sexual craving. (This refers to cravings for illicit sexual relationships, as opposed to legitimate sexual expression within the context of marriage as governed by the Torah code of family purity.) Sexual craving, which is man’s main test in this world, is personified in the figure of Balaam, the greatest heathen prophet, who stands counter to Moses on the side of holiness. Because Moses attained the ultimate level of separation from physical desire, he was able to bring the Torah into the world. The Torah has seventy “faces,” or dimensions of meaning, corresponding to the seventy root-souls of the Jewish people (seventy souls went down to Egypt with Jacob). Before a Jew can rise to a higher level of insight into one of the seventy faces of the Torah and Godly devotion, he is first tested with an attack of physical cravings (associated with the seventy nations). Before one can eat the fruit, one must first encounter the husk. To the spiritual seeker, an attack of lust may seem like a regression, but in fact it is a test, the purpose of which is to bring one to a higher level whose attainment is called a “birth.” Just as a woman in labor emits seventy cries before giving birth (*Zohar* III, 249), so a Jew who is being tested must cry to God repeatedly until he attains his new level.
We are the ones who give shape and form to the Divine light shining from above according to the vessels we prepare to receive it. In other words, we interpret the Torah we receive from our teachers according to the degree of our spiritual and intellectual preparation. Someone who is sunk in immoral cravings may radically misinterpret the teachings of the tzaddik. The remedy for an occasional lustful thought is to recite the verses of *Shema Yisrael* (Hear O Israel) and *Barukh Shem kevod malkhuto le’olam va’ed* (May the Name of the glory of His kingdom be blessed for all eternity). In Hebrew, these verses contain twelve words and forty-nine letters, corresponding to the Twelve Tribes of Israel and the forty-nine letters making up their names. However, someone who suffers regularly from immoral thoughts must shed tears while reciting these verses in order to cleanse himself of the impurities in his body and surrender himself to the rule of Heaven.
“Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer; save my life from the terror of the enemy!” “HaShem, hear my voice; let Your ears be attentive to the sound of my supplications!” “HaShem, I call out to You: Hurry to me, hear my voice as I call to You!”

**Overcoming physical cravings**
For You know all the suffering we have gone through. From our youth until today, the yoke of our bitter exile among the seventy nations has weighed so heavy upon us. We have been attacked by their evil traits and desires. The worst one of all, the all-encompassing evil of all the seventy nations, is sexual lust. This evil, bitter craving has become so strong and spread its net so widely over us, and You know everything we have endured because of it. If I were to try to describe it, it would consume reams of paper.

It’s true, I know, that I have not begun to cry out even a minuscule fraction of what I should. But what can I do, my Father in Heaven? You know it would be quite impossible for me to cry out the way I really should, because all the cries and shrieks in the world would not be enough to express the terrible distress of my soul. I have come before You now, my God and God of my fathers, God of the first and the last, to ask You to have pity and mercy on me in keeping with Your overwhelming kindness. Show me Your great wonders! Release me, save me, and lift me up out of this bitter exile among the seventy nations.

Intending our benefit, You brought us into this exile among their evil desires and traits in order to test and refine our souls. Then we would earn merit by withstanding the test and the crucible of all these desires and traits. This especially applies to the all-encompassing desire, which is the main test and trial facing every man in this world. It is impossible to attain any level of insight into the Torah or devotion to God except by first being tested with this allencompassing desire, namely sexual lust.

But what can I say? How can I speak? For “You examined my heart, You visited it in the night, and You did not find what You desired; the thought I had [that I could withstand the test] will not again pass my lips.” I have gone down into the depths of exile. It wasn’t enough that I failed to break the “husk” that comes before the fruit, so as to then eat the fruit and attain higher insight into the Torah. Worse still, I have done so much damage through this that “my life has been consumed with sorrow and my years with groaning; my strength has failed because of my sins, and my bones are wasted away.”

**For the 7th of Adar, the yahrtzeit of Moses**
My God and God of my fathers, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob, God of all the true tzaddikim! You are the great, mighty and awesome God, the Supreme God Who bestows beneficent kindnesses, Owner of all. May it be Your will to help me in the merit of our fathers and in the merit of the true tzaddikim, whose strength was so great that they controlled their desires in the face of innumerable trials and gained profound insight into the Torah. In their merit and their strength, help me and save me. Let me break, expel and rid myself of the all-encompassing desire of sexual craving.
