My tears mixed with the waters of the Mikvah, enveloping me in a warmth and love I had never experienced before. I knew I had come to the right place, at the right time, for myself, my family, and for G-d.

This is something I have thought about doing for awhile. I just returned from my first trip to Israel which was so beautiful and spiritual. You really made me feel how wonderful experiencing a Mikvah can be. Thank You!

reading this I have tears in my eyes, the deep tikkun (rectification) ripples through the generations both forward and backwards. I can go to the mikvah now inspired that I can join into this pool of tears of joy of all the women since Sarah Imenu.
thank you

Reading your article remainded me of my experience. As you, I also went back to the mikveh after a long time, and had the same feelings and emotions. Like you, the experience was very special in all aspects. Thanks for your article.

What a beautiful story--the mikvah ritual, the transformation in your life, how it affected your daughter. I am not Jewish, but the story helped me to see how very important it is to be in touch with G-D.

What a moving story. I could not fulfilll the mitzvah of mikvah before my Jewish wedding, as I was bound to my hospital bed during our wedding ceremony. I made a vow that I would go as soon as time and healing would allow me to fulfill this most important mitzvah. I was finally able to go in the late spring of this year. It was one of the most moving experiences of my life- to be able to go down the steps and immerse myself in the clear, warm pool. I too wept- as the waters washed away all the suffering of the last year. I have been back twice, and each time there is more healing that takes place. I am glad to know that this mitzvah cleanses my children and rights wrongs- that consolation alone is enough to give me peace of mind. My husband is supportive despite the challenges of Taharas Ha Mispacha- he is already on his own path of transformation as a result of my choices. What a powerful blessing - to know that we as women can alter history just by our faith and deeds alone.
