Mikveh
A mikveh is a traditional Jewish ritual bath used for purposes of purification and spiritual renewal. It consists of a pool of naturally sourced water, such as rainwater or spring water, and is an essential element in various religious practices. Mikvehs are often used by women for ritual immersion after menstruation or childbirth, symbolizing spiritual cleanliness. They are also employed in the conversion process to Judaism and by men for certain religious observances. The practice emphasizes the importance of physical and spiritual purity in Jewish life and is rooted in ancient customs.
