CWJ hosts rabbinic student Shayna Kovler for an interactive discussion about mikveh during the corona pandemic.
How can we know if Israeli mikvaot are following the recommended hygiene protocols? What is the state’s role in ensuring that its own institutions–the Ministry of Religious Affairs, which operates the state mikvaot–follow the law?
From a halakhic perspective, are there any alternative solutions that ensure both our safety and our religious needs, or are those things fundamentally at odds? Is our leadership open to finding these solutions, and are we even open to listening to them? Is it time to reevaluate the way we practice niddah rituals as a whole?
Listen to this recorded Zoom session that delves into this controversial and fascinating topic.
Featuring CWJ’s Susan Weiss, Rivkah Lubitch, Rachel Stomel and 26 interactive guests sharing their questions and insights.
