The growth was in a sensitive spot and affected her sight. It became life-threatening. But when she accepted upon herself the mitzvah of <em>taharat hamishpachah<\/em>, the tumor simply disappeared.<\/p>\n<p>A similar incident happened to a woman who lived in Paris. She, too, suffered from a cancerous growth. When she asked for my blessing, I instructed her to observe <em>taharat hamishpachah<\/em>.

The person has no recourse but to ask the tzaddik for his advice. The tzaddik, who is Hashem\u2019s messenger, guides him along the road to life and goodness. The measures he instructs him to take in mitzvah observance are Hashem\u2019s tried and true prescriptions for remedy.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mitzvah Observance \u2013 The Cure-all Hashem, in His great wisdom, commanded us to keep the laws of family purity in order to maintain our Jewish homes.
