Understanding Mikvah
I have a desire to get closer to God. I can pray, meditate, or...take a bath. What? That doesn’t seem to fit with what I’d consider mainstream ritual. How does immersing myself in a spiritual bath, or mikvah, bring me closer to God? In order to understand the formation of this commandment, join Aleph Beta Scholar, Beth Lesch as she traces the origins of mikvah to its original source: the Creation story, in the book of Genesis.
