Dear fellow holy yidden, the 3 weeks are here, we have had many tzores recently, we have lost 3 gedolim, and a holy tenokis shel bais rabban and many others. The 3 weeks are a morning for the tzores of kal yisroel, let us take on ourselves not to lustfully gaze at women and in that zcus we will bring the geulah closer.

Whoever wants to join note the following:
- This is a kabbalah bli nedder
-if you fall you are not "out" just you should post here that you fell and keep on going.
-Keep in mind for every one time you don't look your bringing the geulah closer, if you look then DON"T get depressed but rather post that you looked get chizzick and keep on going.
- "Not lustfully gazing at women" doesn't mean you cant see a women but rather not to look at her with lustful eyes and thoughts, if you see a women by mistake if you don't "double look " that's not called lustful gazing .

So who is going to join??

Count me in.
I will try not to stare at, lust after, objectify or deify any woman or girl and not to do Google searches for bad things for 3 weeks.
The Blind Beggar is a character in Rebbe Nachman's story of the Seven Beggars.
If I view a woman as an object, I am powerless over lust, but I don't have to look.
I can guard my eyes.
I want to guard my eyes.
I do guard my eyes.
Why do I say these four lines?

Bli Neder I will make an even greater effort to guard what my eyes see and what my mind thinks for the next day. This is a time for Teshuvah and we all have to put in what we can.

I have not been well behaved on the Internet the last 2 days but I am committed to continue with the rest of this group.
Is it only me or have all the women and girls become so much more beautiful these last few weeks? And I don't mean just more revealing.
