As a male, I Thank You for your video and your comments about this practice. As an estranged-Jew(?) whose family had our Judaism striped away from us during a pogrom a century ago, I am coming back to terms with our faith and belonging.There are many things that I am learning, and re-learning about our faith. Thank you - Shalom.

[@carolynt8864]

My sister converted to Judaism and she did her mikvah. I didn't know about all the intricate details that go with it like soaking before hand and scrubbing the dead skin. She converted during the height of the pandemic so I wasn't able to make it to her celebration of conversion due to lock-downs and and limiting the number of people indoors. I'm in happy for her and the power of G-d. She was an atheist at 12 years old while I became a Christian at 13. But to see her spiritual journey from someone who was atheist to Jewish makes me happy to know she has a relationship with the Creator.

I live in Montreal and I really appreciated this tour. We sadly don't know enough of the Jewish culture and rituals and we are neighbors. I like how you helped us understand that what may seem like an unfair obligation for women in your religion is in fact something you seem to enjoy pretty much ( I guess some mandatory relaxing time alone without the children is never a bad thing for a busy mom).

It's wonderful that we now have access to this information, including this lovely video, to inform those of us who don't know, but would like to learn about and take on these crucial practices! Mikveh, Challah, and lighting candles for Shabbat are the three main mitzvot specifically for women.

I love new beginnings. Stories such as the history and use of the Mikveh, make me feel closer to my family. While I don’t believe my story is unique, I was never exposed to the traditions of Judaism, because my father wasn’t Jewish, and my mother’s family chose to deny having any ties to Judaism when they immigrated from Europe to America in the 1920’s. The story gets a bit more complicated after my mother’s people settled in the Midwest, but I grew up knowing Judaism was part of my heritage, and something I always dreamed of pursuing. My reluctance has been pressure and influence by my family to “leave the past in the past”. But also my own feelings of “imposter” syndrome. All I know is that I’ve always felt something is missing in my life, and I’ve felt this from a very young age. This is why learning about Jewish culture/traditions brings me so much joy. It helps soothe my soul.

This was such a wonderful video and so informative, as a Catholic woman I find the traditions of my Jewish sisters so fascinating and so steeped in history. Many blessings to you and your family, you’re doing a superb job!

You might be interested in the videos of Roy Schoeman in which he explains the connection between Judaism and Catholicism, so beautiful! You can find him on KZbin.

I am not religious but enjoy learning about the traditions and rituals within different cultures. I think the Mikveh is a beautiful ritual allowing a woman to connect spiritually with herself in a warm relaxing space.

[@blondieblu8819]

I was raised conservative and I’ve always wondered what happens in a Mikvah. Such a beautiful tradition that I’d love to partake in one day. I’m also a nursing student so I feel a certain connection to your videos. Thank you for sharing! ❤

[@GiftsAndGratitude]

“…I love new beginnings…” I’m Muslim, but find the reasoning behind fulfilling Mikvah is so necessary. Being physically and ritually clean is important when seeking relationship with God and one’s spouse, in general, and definitely after the issue of fluids has been present. Great video! I’d love to watch and learn more.

I love new beginnings ☺️ as a Catholic I received the Sacrament of Reconciliation yesterday and I always feel fresh and new and clean afterwards and so thankful for God’s love ❤

[@sisterspooky]

@Dee Bee - What is that?

[@deebee9151]

@@sisterspooky thank you for asking ☺️it’s where we confess our sins to a priest and seek the forgiveness of God and the priest absolves us of all of our sins and assigns a penance (usually some prayers to say). We leave in a state of grace, ready to partake in the Eucharist. It is a beautiful sacrament and necessary to take full part of the holy sacrifice of the mass.

[@sisterspooky]

@@deebee9151 - Hmmm… 🤔 Interesting. Thanks for sharing your traditions with us. Always interesting to see how other people believe. 😊

[@lisaherrling6880]

Dee Bee-The Sacrament of Reconciliation is so beautiful! Father Vincent Lampert, exorcist for the Archdiocise of Indianapolis, tells his high school student the following: Going to Confession is like throwing up. You don't want to do it, but you feel so much better after you do!

[@dorothyyoung8231]

@@sisterspooky, it is the sacrament we used to call Confession.

I Love new beginnings! Really enjoyed this video....The Mikvah time for a women is such a holy and spiritual time...In South Africa If a women went to the Mikvah on a Friday night or on a night of a Chag...it's not safe for women to walk alone....so they have a special rooms for husband's to wait for their wives...what happens is the Mikvah atendent tells the husband which room to go to they have numbers on the outside...the Mikvah attendent tells the wife which room her husband is in...so after immersion...you go to where the rooms are for husband's to wait and knock on the correct door...Shavua Tov have a wonderful week ahead lots of love from Israel

I love new beginnings ❤ Firstly, you are such a joy to listen, as your voice is soporific and calming. You have such an amazingly captivating way of explaining things that appeals to the emotions of your audience that it made me feel so emotional towards the end. I’ve watched a few other mikvah videos and while they were informative, yours was just simply emotionally elevating. Secondly, it amazes me how you manage to do everything at the same time. Being a doctor, mother, wife and KZbinr. I’ve so in awe with everything that you do. Love following your recipes and your content in general.

My sweet sweet Felicita, your comment made me tear up and then when I reread it, I became very emotional 🥹 Thank you for taking the time to share this amazing , thoughtful and supportive comment , You captured one of my goal here on KZbin is to leave a positive footprint 👣 of what I experience personally as an orthodox Jewish woman and how much I love it and I feel blessed to have the chance of experiencing it thank G.od So for you to feel all this through the video makes me so so happy, deeply to the core happy ; THANK YOU 😊 for being you 💕

[@michellesmith7060]

This is so powerful 🙏🙏 the way you live with such conviction to make sure that it's not about a woman being under or below the husband but how you both have a role in the physical life but your spiritual life. So many people use difference be a source of conflict but I watch with a inspired heart to evolve my spirituality and I feel like I also have gained understand why things like water bring peace and play such a important role in our spiritual rituals. I feel like we do things out of habit and being taught that's just the way it is but getting a better understanding of why I feel so connected to my God during my traditions.✌️✌️✌️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
