QUESTION:
How can men avoid keri (wet-dreams) when sleeping at night (besides for making sure not to view anything inappropriate during the day)?
ANSWER:
1) Your meals at night should be light, and don’t eat things that cause the body to become aroused during sleep. 2) Alternatively, sleep with your feet tied together and exposed [uncovered by a blanket], or keep your feet folded on each other. 3) Before going to sleep, say the pesukim of Tehillim that are said on Yom Kippur night [which appear in the Yom Kippur Machzor after Maariv of Yom Kippur]. Also repeat for 3 times the pasuk of Kedoshim Tihyu, “You shall be holy to Hashem…” (Vayikra 19:2).
I’ve heard that learning Mishnayos is a great tikkun for Shemiras HaBris. Is there a particular Mishnayos which one should learn for this?
ANSWER
Yes – either Seder Taharos or Seder Kodshim.
