You Shall Be Holy!!! The Jewish nation has always been separated from the other nations of the world. Since the Covenant of Avrahom, Yisroel has served as the very purpose of creation. The Nation of Yisroel can reach the highest and loftiest levels of spiritual existence. Yisroel, in fact, is the only nation that can achieve a direct connection to Hashem. Unfortunately the opposite is also true if a member of Yisroel does not guard himself and try to become holy. If he heaven forbid stumbles and sins, he causes great damage to his holy soul. When a person continues to sin, he wraps himself in impurity, he causes himself to be cut off from holiness. Instead of the great light that he was able to attain, he now draws upon himself darkness and depression. The holy books reveal that the most damaging of all sins are those that are associated with impurity. Avrahom received the title of Yisroel, the promise that his descendants will have the opportunity to attain the highest levels of holiness. However it came with a condition, an agreement that the Nation Yisroel would guard the covenant of the Holy Bris. This is the main test that a man is subjected to. It is a battle that he must fight over and over again until he is victorious. Here the line is drawn, it is here that a person declares whether he is binding himself to the Side of Holiness or heaven forbid to the Side of Impurity. The most common of these sins is the sin of wasting seed. The low level of this generation has caused this topic to be ignored. Many people are unaware of the severity of this sin, which causes many to stumble. In addition they do not know how to fight their desires, or to rectify their past actions.
