בִּדְבַר הַתַּעֲמוּלָה בְּעִנְיַן טַהֲרַת הַמִּשְׁפָּחָה בְּמוֹשָׁבוֹ

Regarding efforts [to increase the observance of] taharas hamishpachah in your locale,

יִתְבּוֹנֵן בָּזֶה

contemplate on this:

אִילּוּ יְצוּיָּר, אֲשֶׁר ה' אִנָּה לְיָדוֹ לְהַצִּיל מוֹשַׁב יְהוּדִים מִכִּלָּיוֹן, רַחֲמָנָא לִצְלַן

If G‑d enabled you to save an entire Jewish community from destruction,

הִנֵּה בֶּטַח הָיָה מוֹסֵר נַפְשׁוֹ עַל זֶה

you would certainly be willing to sacrifice your life to do so.

וְהָיָה מְהַלֵּל וּמְשַׁבֵּחַ אֶת הַשֵּׁם יִתְבָּרֵךְ, עַל גּוֹדֶל הַחֶסֶד לְזַכּוֹתוֹ בִּזְכוּת גָּדוֹל כָּזֶה

Moreover, you would praise and laud Him for His kindness in granting you this great merit.

כֵּן וְיוֹתֵר מִכֵּן הִיא תַּעֲמוּלָה זוֹ

Now, such a merit, and even greater than that, is accrued by popularizing the laws of family purity.

שֶׁהִיא הַצָּלַת נְפָשׁוֹת מַמָּשׁ

This actually saves lives.
