Wherever a person goes in Israel, he is likely to find a small booklet called the “Tikun HaKlali” of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov (1772-1810). It can be spotted amongst the magazines and pamphlets in dentist’s offices, health clubs, bus stations, and felafel parlors.

The “Tikun HaKlali” -- which means the “General Remedy” -- is composed of ten Psalms and a long confessional prayer which are designed to cleanse a person from sexual transgression. And now, for the first time, the full “Tikun HaKlali” has reached the Internet with an English translation.

Israel National News blogger Tzvi Fishman is behind the milestone endeavor. The “Tikun HaKlali” can be found, with Fishman’s English translation of the accompanying prayer, on his JewishSexuality.com website, which is filled with nitty-gritty material on “everything you wanted to know about Jewish sexuality, but were embarrassed to ask” – from a Torah and Kabbalistic point of view, based on the teachings of the holy Zohar, leading mystics throughout the ages, and the elder Kabbalist Rabbi Eliahu Leon Levi of Bnei Brak.

“Getting the “Tikun HaKlali” up on the Internet is a historic first, like the first time man walked on the moon and the first Black U.S. President,” Fishman, a former Hollywood screenwriter and author, insists. He explains: “Rebbe Nachman said that in his time, some 200 years ago, three-fourths of the world were victims of sexual wrongdoing. In today’s culture with pornography on the Internet and a constant media bombardment of immodest images, 99.9% of the world is plagued with this problem. That’s why getting it up on the web is so important.”

Rebbe Nachman founded a hassidic sect and many of his students, referred to today as Breslover Hassidim, as well as Jews all over the world, recite the Tikun HaKlali every day.

Women also recite it as a general rectification. Its recital is also a cornerstone of any visit to the Rebbe's grave in Uman, Russia, in keeping with his promise:

"Bear witness to my words. When my days are over, and I leave this world, I will still intercede for anyone who comes to my grave and says these ten Psalms and gives a coin to charity. No matter how great his sins and transgressions, I will do everything in my power, spanning the length and breadth of the creation, to cleanse and save him. I will take hold of his side locks and pull him out of hell.”

This year alone on the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah, some 30,000 Jews of all walks of Jewish life gathered in Uman at the gravsite of Rebbe Nachman.

Now, Fishman says, the “Tikun HaKlali” and following prayer has been cracked open for English-speaking internet surfers.
