The book, "Family Purity - A Guide to Marital Fulfillment" , written by Rabbi Yerucham Fishel HaLevy Jacobs, is a comprehensive compendium on the laws and customs associated with family purity. This book is well researched and fills a void especially in that it supplies all the above in harmony with the halachic decisions of the Shulchan Aruch Admur Hazoken. Before selected chapters important advice of a personal nature is added creating a refreshingly rounded picture of Jewish family life. The author has previously published a compendium of the vestos laws with a ten year calendar. This work, called "Times" has already been used successfully in Eretz Yisroel for a number of years. Another previous work, Chochmat HaTaharah, a commentary on the laws in Yoreh Deah dealing with these subjects has haskomos from many leading Rabonim Shlita. Therefore all that remains is that we add our blessings that this work become accepted in all English speaking homes and that the author enjoy continued success in his future endeavors.

We reviewed the book compiled by the Rabbi the gaon Rabbi Yerucham Fishel Halevy Jacobs on the laws of niddah and family purity, written in easily understandable English with many footnotes. Important Rabonim from Eretz Yisroel have already given approbations on this work as well as this author's previous works. We, therefore, add our approbation to these and bless the author for success in "spreading his wellsprings." And that this book, as well as his previous ones, should become accepted and standard. The author is fortunate in that many will merit to observe family purity through his efforts. May it be His will that not only with this work become accepted but, furthermore, he should continue to write additional works for the benefit of others.

With pleasure do I take the opportunity to join the Rabbonim who gave their consent and praise for your praiseworthy compilation of the laws of niddah in the composition named "Family Purity - A Guide to Marital Fulfillment" May the Al-mighty help you to promote Taharah B'Yisroel.

Dear Rabbi Jacobs ,Thank you for enabling me to read the proofs of your forthcoming book. Reading through the text - which I did from practically cover to cover - I was delighted to see your very refreshing style, casual yet thorough. The word 'Halacho' is usually translated as 'law'. More subtly it can be translated as 'the way one goes'. This book aims to present Halacho indeed as a way of life. Also useful are the specific medical terms, generously used wherever relevant. These will be of great value if the need arises to communicate with medical personnel. The Halachic decisions are invariably a faithful transmission of standard accepted Seforim, as referred to extensively in the end notes. I have recommended a number of additions and modifications, as you will see in the returned copy. Nonetheless I feel that this book truly merits unreserved recommendation - its readers will certainly enhance their Torah-life-style in this vital area, upon which is founded the sanctuary of our holy nation.

I come here with words of blessing and praise for my dear friend, one who brings merits to the masses, who has already become expert in clarifying these areas until the level of deciding final decisions in law in the field of purity in his first book which was printed "Chochmot Hataharah". Now he has created once again a second book on this subject aimed specifically for the English speaking audience. It is a sure thing that no shortcomings or obstacles can come from his pen. Therefore I add my name to the list of those illustrious Rabonim geonim including the Rabonim geonim of the Chabad Rabbinical Court of Eretz Yisroel who reviewed this book and bless my dear friend, the author shlita,to continue to add purity and holiness and to increase Torah and glorify it according to his desires.

It is with pleasure that I avail myself of the opportunity to add my commendations to the cavalcade of approbations and tributes that have been bestowed upon your admirable work in the field of Taharas Hamishpacha. It is evident that you have invested much thoughtful work and effort into the preparation of this outstanding book as you have done in your previous publications. There is no doubt that this additional work will serve the very useful purpose of assisting all those seeking enlightenment in the practical observance of one of the most fundamental and pivotal institutions of Torah life. Your book should be assured a distinguished place in every Jewish home and library. May Hashem grant you many healthy and prosperous years in which to continued your worthy labors in disseminating the Torah wellsprings for the benefit of Anash and Klal Yisroel.

Although time does not allow me to study the book in depth, from what I have read I have noticed it is written in a very pleasant manner, thoroughly covering the laws of family purity. Seforim on this topic are very important and this book will strengthen the observance of Taharas Hamishpachah (family purity). I commend you for the work, effort and toil that you put into this sefer. I am confident it will be received favorably.

I would like to join the many honorable Rabonim Sh'lita in congratulating Rabbi Jacobs for his sefer that presents to the English speaking public the intricate laws of Taharas Hamishpachah in an easy and clear manner.
