The Mikveh in 10 Minutes
from Everything Jewish - 10 Minutes at a Time · host Adam Diament
Water, but make it holy. In The Mikveh in 10 Minutes, we'll dive (pun fully intended) into one of Judaism's most ancient and meaningful practices: the ritual bath. From biblical purity laws to modern-day spiritual resets, the mikveh has been a place of transformation, renewal, and connection. We'll explore its many uses—conversion, family purity, preparing for holidays, and even marking big life changes like recovery or new beginnings. Along the way, we'll clear up common misconceptions (no, it's not just "Jewish spa day") and highlight how contemporary communities are reimagining mikvaot as inclusive and empowering spaces. Think of it as the original "reset button" for body and soul, with thousands of years of tradition flowing through its waters. Ten minutes, a splash of history, and a lot of meaning—all without needing to bring a towel.
