Description

P. 291 in the commentary (7th perek). The only way to repair sexual sins is through teshuvah gedola b'ahava rabba (great teshuvah from great love). A person who brought a mamzer (the child who is a result of forbidden relations) into the world can do great teshuvah, but the result of the sin is still in the world, and it cannot be fixed. A cry goes out from the suffering in the world that has no apparent reason. One way that the Elokus descends into the klipos are through Kosher eating, then going back to learning or davening to re-elevate the Elokus. The other way is through doing an issur (violating a mitzvah) then re-elevating the Elokus through the level of great teshuvah.
