At the request of our Heilige Tzadikim, "bardichev" and "Pintele Yid", we are starting this board for Torah thoughts related to our struggle with lust and with the Yetzer Hara. If anyone comes across something inspiring in any sefer, whether it be Chumash, Rashi, Nach, Medrash, Gemara, Agadeta, Zohar, Chassidishe Seffarim, Mussar Seffarim, etc... PLEASE share it with us! Or if you have your OWN chiddushim on this struggle based on Torah, Chazal, or even Teffila and Tehhilim - PLEASE SHARE.
On our new site, guardyoureyes.org (which will be down for a few days as it is being transferred to a new server), we will have 10 categories. One of them will be "Beis Medrash" and we will try and choose the best insights from THIS BOARD for posting every day (or every few days) on the site.
I made the following members into moderators of this board:
"Ykv_schwartz, bardichev, dov, Noorah BAmram, Efshar Letaken, Pintele Yid" I made them moderators because they already post a lot of great Torah thoughts. (Forgive me if I forgot anyone else who posts a lot of Torah)... Indeed, anyone who posts
a lot on this forum will bl"n be upgraded to moderator of this board as well. Once you're a moderator, you can modify other people's posts, so you can fix mistakes that you notice in someone else's post, or add a word or two to make it easier to understand (if you want)... Which brings me to the next point:
To make it easier for us to use your thoughts on our website and perhaps in Chizuk e-mails as well, we ask that everyone try to spell correctly, put in commas where neccecary, and use lower case and upper case letters as appropriate. This will save us editing time, and also make it more pleasent to read
Lechatchilah... (Of course, if your spelling and grammer is not good, don't let that be a reason to withhold your thoughts!

Who knows if one day this board won't be material for a new Sefer? The Torah was given for every generation to expand on, based on the issues that each generation faces. As the Pasuk says about the Torah:
Rechava Minei Yam. Who knows if this board is not the seed of one of the great branches of the tree of Torah in
our generation? Bisheim Hashem Na'aseh Vinatzliach. A few side notes:
- As Bardichev requested, this board will be without debates and without "personal struggles". Only Torah and Chizuk. (Questions and shakla vitarya are allowed).
- Although this board is not for 12-Step discussion, any Torah thought that can help us understand one of the 12-Step Yesodos better, can surely be posted here. (I think R' Dov would be great for that).
- If we get a good vort on the parsha each week, I can try bl"n to post it in Friday's Chizuk e-mail. (But to go into Friday's e-mail, it needs to be on THIS week's Parsha, not last week's).
- One day I hope to offer a Chizuk e-mail list JUST for Torah thoughts on this struggle, for those who want.
- Feel free to search through all your old posts, and copy and paste here all the Torah thoughts you ever had! :D
