There are 3 types of mikvahs 1) the women's mikvah as detailed in this video 2) the men's mikvah - most hasidic men go to the mikvah every morning before praying. They don't have to do the same prep that women do, they just go right in and out. Other Orthodox jews who are not hasidic will go to the mikvah once a week before shabbos and some others will only go before the High Holidays 3) the mikvah for vessels - if you get silverware or other dishes (other than plastic stuff) they must be immersed in a mikvah before being used for the first time. Those are smaller mikvahs designed specifically for that use
As an orthodox woman, this Mikva experience is super exciting and special. After two weeks apart, yes, 2 weeks! It’s amazing coming back home all glammed up to your husband that is waiting just for you. We live our life around the 2 weeks period of times, planning our vacation and knowing when your clearing out a whole evening, it’s your special night.
Actually 2 weeks sounds long but it pays off cause if u have intimate touch all the time it can get boring. This break makes it feel like a honeymoon and keeps the relationship balanced.
Some communities don’t have waiting rooms, you make an appointment ahead of time and don’t see anyone besides for the Mikvah helper, thus helps keep things more private.
No problem with her outfit. Modesty has many levels and some won't wear brighter colors or tighter fitting clothes and some do. its very much a personal thing.
Allison Josephs (Jew in the City) is an amazing commentator with the mission of explaining the beauty in Judaism and the Jewish community. Married woman use the mikveh and not single women because Orthodox Jews hold that there are no sexual relations outside of marriage. This is not to say that people always do the right thing. But before marriage, young girls and boys who are engaged generally take what are known as chosson (groom) or kallah (bride) classes to learn the laws of family purity. Until the engagement, these rules are not taught because there was no need to know them until that point. As noted in another comment, men sometimes use the mikveh as well, and the mikveh is also used to immerse new dishes (plates, cups, pots, pans, etc.) This video only touched on the use of mikveh for women.
Regarding her outfit. It would be totally fine in crown heights but would be considered less than ideal in a place like Williamsburg. The standards are different in every area, sect, community etc
One of the blessings we say to a couple on their wedding day is. "אהבה ואחווה שלום ורעות" which translate to "Love friendship and peace", and represent this idea that 2 weeks of the month you get to enjoy and work on loving one another, and 2 weeks of the month you get to enjoy and work on friendship, and that brings a perfect balance of, Love friendship and peace in a marriage.
@PortuguesePai the app is not an appointment app, it's a app for women to help with there counting, there's a lot of laws regarding a woman's period she didn't mention in the video because the video was about the mikva itself, basically in the app you punch in when you had your period, (day or evening) and it helps remind you when mikva is , plus lots of other features.
Her outfit is fine. Not too tight that you see the body parts. It's tasteful and stylish, but not obscene. It can get a lot worse than that, a lot more tight. She knows exactly how to pick a form fitting outfit that is not revealing and leaves plenty to the imagination.
@@PortuguesePai Glad we see eye to eye. Modesty and elegance are an art form. It's easy to wear a baggy shapeless outfit and equally easy to wear a tight ill fitting one. Finding clothes that fit you perfectly, that are not revealing and yet look good on your frame takes work!
@@aidele5757 why delete it? Everyone is entitled to their opinion/view. I asked the question because I figured some people might have thought it was, and was interested to hear from them.
In many videos you notice the difference in presentation of Orthodox Jews. Here's an explanation. We have laws and customs. The laws are the same for all of the Orthodox Jews. The customs differ greatly.
Oh wow! You e touched a very strong point of Judaism! So it’s like this, when a married women gets her period she and her husband will not touch even hand over things to each other for the time she’s bleeding plus seven clean days. After she has gone to the Mikva she will come home and then she and her husband are allowed to touch and……… It’s an amazing experience as it’s said “absence makes the heart grow fonder” Every time the husband and wife “reunite” it’s an excitement just like getting married again As for unmarried women this doesn’t pertain to them as we only go to the Mikva to get clean for the husband…
Gotcha! That is very interesting, and would definitely lead to some actions every month when half (if not slightly more) you are not engaged with one another 😅.
@@mobeast8294 I am currently in the process of doing that 🙂. However since it is Peter's longest video I've seen in the series, I've got to break it down to more parts, otherwise the videos are too long. Stay tuned!
Even if a women is not planning on having children, she will go to the mikvah to get the mitzvah and also in order to be permitted to have relations with her husband.
I just want to mention how important the Mitzvah of mikvah is. Some women will take a plane to get to a mikvah. Or, if they don't have a mikvah near them, they'll go in the nearest body of natural water which could be the beach - in their birthday suit. On a side note, when a woman has a baby, she goes to the Mikvah after she stops bleeding - she can't have physical touch with her husband from when she's delivering the baby (actually, it's when the first drop of blood is noticed during labor) until she stops bleeding, a minimum of 7 days for a boy and 14 days for girls. This means that the husband can't watch the actual birth or hold his wife's hand during the delivery. Being that these days the doctors suggest waiting 6 weeks until resuming marital relations, the mikvah is usually pushed off for a few weeks - but in truth, how many women these days bleed for so short after giving birth??? Let me tell you, the wait is brutal. Having been together for many months, and then not being together in the most vulnerable moments, is very hard.
Hi! I think one of the reasons I see some hate comments on this video is because Jews have typically gotten a lot of hate for this mitzvah. People don’t understand, think it’s something negative about women that they’re “unclean” and they also say it’s nuts to have no physical contact with your husband for this amount of time…it’s hard to understand as an outsider and we get ridiculed for this a lot, they say that Judaism is sexist and misogynistic etc. so we’re a little wary of outsiders reacting to it. I’m sorry you’re getting these comments. You are correct, it’s 7 days after your cycle, but you must count at least 5 days of your period first, so it’s a minimum of 12 days sometimes more. Unmarried women do not go. A bride goes before her wedding. I think it’s worth noting that a lot of married Jewish women are either pregnant, nursing, or on birth control a lot of the time. So it doesn’t usually turn out that they go to the mikvah every single month.
In fact, the mikvah is used not only by women after the menstrual period (in Hebrew: "nida"), but also by men. Most religious Jewish men practice dipping in the mikvah before Yom Kippur, and there are many who dip more often, such as before every holiday, or before every Shabbat, and some even dip every morning. According to the Halacha, before going up to the Temple Mount you must be immersed in the mikvah, and only then can you go up to the Temple Mount. To avoid chastity problems, it is usually customary for women to dip at night, while men dip in the morning, often in separate places.
I appreciate your takes on these "informative" videos, but to be honest, I found your music video reactions far more entertaining. Keep up the great content!
Mikvah for women in judisam is only if your married or are over age 12 and going up to the Temple Mount also known as Har Habyit. Outside of Israel mikvah is only for married women not single women. In Israel if a single woman wishes to go up to the Temple Mount per Jewish law known as halcha. Even a single women must go to mikvah and follow the process thats known as family purity/ Tahart Hamishpacha. Meaning waiting minimum of 4-5 days after your period to do what's called a hefsek tahra ( a stop) and then count 7 clean days. On the night of the seventh day which is considered the 8th day you go to mikvah
Your info for the most part is correct. Re the temple mount.....mikvah alone is not metaher for tumas mes (neither for men or women) so not sure how a reg mikvah would help. Secondly, the time to wait to do a hefsek tahara is min 5 days but never 4.
Yes only a married woman goes to the mikva & even if she doesn't want to become pregnant, she will do it every month & ontill she goes she will not have any physical contact with her husband
Other commenters have covered the basics as far as the differences between men and women immersing in a Mikvah. Men can go whether married or not, women go when married and right before the wedding. As she explained, going to the Mikvah is a purification process, so any immersion in a Mikvah is purifying, be it a man, woman, or vessel. Virtually every Jewish community has a women’s Mikvah. Also, something important to note-during covid basically everything was shut down. Schools closed, synagogues and other places of worship were closed. Businesses were closed. The one thing that remained open throughout was the women’s Mikvah!
Jew in the city did an excellent job explaining about women mikvahs. Sorry I don't have anything smart to add, I've never been to a mikvah since I'm not married. I just "go on with my life" like you said, until I do. 😎 A very refreshing and open-minded approach you have. I admire that. Tzippy
Agree daddy come home is a very good song I don't know if the live one is that good that the music video but I do know that the music video has 10 million views
Only married woman go to the mikvah. You go before having relationship. Unmarried, singlr, divorced, widows who are not living with a husband don't go.
Women going to the Mikvah is a biblical commandment. This only applies to married women, as the requirement is specifically before having any relations with their spouse. During the times of the jewish holy temple there were times men had to go to the Mikvah, for example to bring sacrifices, this is of biblical origin but is not relevant today. Men going to a Mikvah today (aside from very few cases) is only a kabbalistic tradition. There are some like most chassidim who have the custom of going everyday before prayers, others who have the custom to go before Shabbat (Saturday) or holidays, and most all Jewish men have a custom of going before the high holidays (Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur).
just a very important thing - Non married woman don't go to the Mikvah ONLY since a certain time after the destruction of the holy temple. BUT - when they want to go on the Temple mount they are OBLIGATED to do so! there are many many Halachic views regarding that topic, as long as the holy temple isn't built yet. but the reason non married woman don't go to the Mikvah, is that they don't want to let them think that they can be with a man without marriage. in more ancient times, things were different. also - the woman who examines us doesn't HAVE TO examine us ourselves, again - it depends in which Mikvah the woman goes. this is NOT an obligation from the Torah, it's just something that the Jewish women themselves took upon themselves, just to make sure that every thing is right. I have never had someone really examine me - they just ask and remind me of all the things I should examine myself to make sure I didn't forget anything. some ask me if I want them to examine me (NO), and they just make sure that my whole body is immersed - I am talking about ultra orthodox women. again - this is NOT an obligation. I even went to a Mikvah where the examiner doesn't check that even if you choose not to and this is the basic Halacha - the woman is trusted to do it right without and examiner, it's just a precaution done for generations.. But seriously - you should listen to some lessons in the site of Machon Meir - your thirst for Jewish knowledge might get what it wants.
198 gallons is equivalent to what's known in the Talmud as 40 sa'ah, which is the minimum amount the sages prescribed, as it's the minimum amount of water to submerge an entire average sized human including displacement of the water the body causes. Try it for yourself. Let us know your findings...
Oprah Winfrey has an episode where she met the women of Lubavitch in Crown Heights and they eloquently explained the Mikva: th-cam.com/video/kJlO4Ge5yVk/w-d-xo.html
Here are the full videos (2 parts 42 min each) Oprah Winfrey - Next Chapter Chasidim - Part 1 th-cam.com/video/dzPzP1J5UQk/w-d-xo.html Oprah Winfrey - Next Chapter Chasidim - Part 2 th-cam.com/video/iygTUqglKNw/w-d-xo.html
The minimum about of mikvah water is the amount of water it would take to completely submerge the body of an average size man. In practice all mikvahs have substantially more water than the minimum. Although in modern times, unmarried women are not supposed to go to the mikvah (some do anyway), in ancient times (roughly pre-500 AD) all women went.
This is a very sensitive and private issue, and in my opinion doesn't need to be analyzed and explained on the internet! if people don't get it that's fine we can just live our lives!
I would disagree with you fully. I think her not putting a video like this out there is a disservice to help educate people who are unaware. She isn't showing anything inappropriate, and is simply explaining what the process is. I think the mindset of 'if they don't know that's fine" is a very poor one. But I'm glad you voiced your opinion. Good to hear from everyone.
@@PortuguesePai I think you misunderstood my comment, let me explain: I don't have issue with 'Jew in the city's video; she made that video for Jewish women that are married or are getting married and want to learn more about the topic, and I don't think there's anything inappropriate about it; in the Jewish culture modesty is very emphasized and that doesn't only mean dressing modestly it also means a sensitivity and modest approach to things like marriage and the like, Therefore in the Jewish community this topic is only taught and discussed where and to whom it's relevant - women who are about to get married or already married - other people to whom this isn't relevant at the moment even in the Jewish community don't discuss or learn about it until it's relevant to them; let alone teach it to the world... therefore an attempt to explain this on the 'internet' actually doesn't respect that modesty, and I think is a bit inappropriate. Thanks for understanding,
When you consider that in ancient Rome (and I think in ancient Persia too, as well as other major cultures) public baths were ubiquitous, the mild lack of privacy isn't so shocking. I think modern culture is much more squeamish about public nakedness than past cultures were.
Only married women have to go to the mikvah, if they don't want to get pregnant, they can use birth control but they would still go to the mikvah 7 days after the period ended.
Yes correct the woman goes in a other mikveh that the man they are going for other reasons and the man are going every day the woman are going as you saw in the video and the video are going in more taken care one
A unmarried woman generally does not go to the Mikvah because there really isn't any need to be in the pure state as she doesn't have a husband to be with. If she needed to be in a pure state for other reasons she would go to the Mikvah
no problem with her outfit. Conception only occurs within a marital relationship, and thereby is only possible within a marriage- therefore, single women don't go to mikvah, as conception could not have occurred anyway.
Non married women don't go to the mikvah, unless they are going up to the temple mount but I feel that is too sensitive of a topic to get into, don't want anyone running to burn me at the stake lol
Men's Mikva h as s much less privacy. You take off your clothes there are showers (usually without curtains or anything just a bunch of shower heads) you shower and then dunk and you're done
Un married women don't go and married women only go after her cycle not otherwise yes it 2 weeks and men go when ever they want but the prosses is different I go every week

Women going to the Mikvah is one the most practiced law in Judaism that even many secular Jews keep the laws of Mikvah.
Some communities don’t have waiting rooms, you make an appointment ahead of time and don’t see anyone besides for the Mikvah helper, thus helps keep things more private.

@@PortuguesePai I think you misunderstood my comment, let me explain: I don't have issue with 'Jew in the city's video; she made that video for Jewish women that are married or are getting married and want to learn more about the topic, and I don't think there's anything inappropriate about it; in the Jewish culture modesty is very emphasized and that doesn't only mean dressing modestly it also means a sensitivity and modest approach to things like marriage and the like, Therefore in the Jewish community this topic is only taught and discussed where and to whom it's relevant - women who are about to get married or already married - other people to whom this isn't relevant at the moment even in the Jewish community don't discuss or learn about it until it's relevant to them; let alone teach it to the world... therefore an attempt to explain this on the 'internet' actually doesn't respect that modesty, and I think is a bit inappropriate.
Thanks for understanding,
When you consider that in ancient Rome (and I think in ancient Persia too, as well as other major cultures) public baths were ubiquitous, the mild lack of privacy isn't so shocking. I think modern culture is much more squeamish about public nakedness than past cultures were.
nice haircut!
Haha, thank you. I believe you're the first to say something! 😆😊
@@PortuguesePai well I realized it as well, just didn't comment 😄. Nice haircut:))

correct only married women go to the mikvah
Only married women have to go to the mikvah, if they don't want to get pregnant, they can use birth control but they would still go to the mikvah 7 days after the period ended.
Yes correct the woman goes in a other mikveh that the man they are going for other reasons and the man are going every day the woman are going as you saw in the video and the video are going in more taken care one
5:36 😂😂
A unmarried woman generally does not go to the Mikvah because there really isn't any need to be in the pure state as she doesn't have a husband to be with.
If she needed to be in a pure state for other reasons she would go to the Mikvah
Generally, in married women don’t go to the Mikva until right before their wedding, because we’re not allowed to touch other men anyway
no problem with her outfit. Conception only occurs within a marital relationship, and thereby is only possible within a marriage- therefore, single women don't go to mikvah, as conception could not have occurred anyway.
They got the numbers from the torah
Unmarried girls/women don’t go to the Mikvah after their period.
Y studs Jewish music through the ages
Ya please check out the yeshiva boy's choir!!!
Non married women don't go to the mikvah, unless they are going up to the temple mount but I feel that is too sensitive of a topic to get into, don't want anyone running to burn me at the stake lol
8:30 its the size of a average human
Mikvah is not required for women that are not in a relationship
Even if there not trying to have kids women still go
I’m loving this series but if are looking for a good song to review you should review Matana by reishit and Simcha liener
Men's Mikva h as s much less privacy. You take off your clothes there are showers (usually without curtains or anything just a bunch of shower heads) you shower and then dunk and you're done
Un married women don't go and married women only go after her cycle not otherwise yes it 2 weeks and men go when ever they want but the prosses is different I go every week
Some go every day
