Laws of cleanliness in family relations

On lessons by rabbi Itshak Ajzik Kahan

FROM THE AUTHOR

I was approached by a Jew , featuring a deep knowledge of the Torah and the fear of God , Rabbi Avraham Yaakov Gvirtsman , one of the special people of the holy city of Jerusalem , and showed me a digest of the laws of the purity of family relations, which he made on the basis of cassette recordings of my lessons. The collection is written in simple language understandable to women and all those who have not studied these laws deep.

I looked through all the brochure and saw that it was written as it should, the author did not add anything and did not miss the fact that it was said in the classroom.

At the moment, the rabbi Gvirtsman is in Pinsk in Belarus to train expensive Jews and bring them to the Torah and the commandments , and he decided to translate the brochure into Russian. I 'm sure he will do a good job.

May the Almighty will help him learn and teach Torah, as well as augment the merits of others. May He give him good health and a clear understanding of his honors and blessed to see the fruits of his labor.

Wrote and signed here in the holy city of Jerusalem, Yitzhak Isaac Kahana
