Nocturnal Emission:::
Question
Hello, Rabbi.
I have a nocturnal emission about once a week. How can I make it stop? I used to waste seed, and I strengthened myself and stopped this bad act because I understood that it is a sin. What should I do so that it stops? I really feel bad about myself that this happens to me
Answer
Greetings and blessings
Fortunate are you that you merited to stop sinning in this serious sin; your reward in Heaven is very great. It is important to know that you are not responsible for a nocturnal emission when you do not have improper thoughts during the day and you guard your eyes. Be careful to study Torah every day. Likewise, be careful to recite the Shema before going to sleep with the blessing of HaMapil, as well as the first four chapters of Psalms, and to say the following sentence: שד-י ישמרני מחליים רעים מחלומות רעים וממקרים רעים וממקרה לילה (Shaddai will guard me from harmful illnesses, from evil dreams, from harmful occurrences, and from a nocturnal emission). Lie on your side, and with Hashem's help you will merit to be saved.
With blessings,
Binyamin Shmueli
