As a Christian woman, I think this is a beautiful ritual 🙏🏻❤️ Kind of wish we had similar...

Reminiscent of baptism.

Sadly the Roman Catholic Church took this away. We do have a baptism for purification and a new person in Christ. Hence why we get submerged.

No one said you couldn't :) I myself am a Christian and take great pride in self care like this. Make a spa-like day part of your self-care and reset.

Paul specifically says not to concern ourselves with ritual washings. If you’ve been freed from the law, don’t long to be back under it. Messiah Jesus fulfilled the law so that we can be spiritually clean at all times.

@@thegutsolution Jesus kept the law bcause he was Jewish... Non Jews have only 7 laws according to the Torah (old testiment) called the seven Noahide Laws. Mikvah is not one of those laws for non Jews. I would'nt say Non Jews were "freed from the law", because to begen with, it wasnt intended for them (except for the Noahide laws as I said before).

Do women have to be purified after having a baby too? I have read that a woman is considered "unclean" after giving birth. However the length of being "unclean" depends on the sex of the baby. With a baby boy, the new mother is considered unclean for 3 months. With a girl however, she remains "unclean" for 6 months. I read this in a novel about orthodox jews and wonder if it is true.

True- but isn’t it weeks instead of months?

After a womans cycle, in order to reconect with her husband she must go to the Mikvah. So yes to your question.

What happens after the wedding night if you’re a virgin and bleed. Are you then not required to be Niddah and separate immediately from your husband in every way for two weeks, without a honeymoon.

They can only use water from a natural source. They could as easily go to a river, ocean, lake etc. Warmth is not the necessity - it's a purification from a natural water source.

Why is this only an option for Jewish women. Im a Baptist, and I find this to be spiritual healing, and would like to experience this. Forgive me if my question sounds insensitive or ignorant. I don't intend my question to be maliceful.

@RivkaMacales 14 күн бұрын

Lovely question - this is a law for Jews only. But it doesnt mean you cant take ideas and incorperate them in your own life as a non Jew. Your welcome to give it a try.

why would a woman have to purify herself? she isn't befouled or contaminated.

@shaindyhorowitz3783 4 жыл бұрын

A menstrual cycle is an indication that there was potential for the creation of life that was not realized. It is, on some level, like a whisper of death. In Judaism, life is the most holy and precious thing Women therefore purify themselves in a mikvah after experiencing the opposite of life.

@shaindyhorowitz3783 4 жыл бұрын

Parenthetically, during the times of the temple, Jewish men and women would immerse in a mikvah after coming in contact with a dead body. This is not to say there is any judgement on the person for contracting this impurity - they could have been burying a family member, for example!

well, if you believe that then men should take a mikvah after every emission that takes place out of coitus. the loss of potential life there is massive.
