If that story about the experiment with the rats is true....they died because human blood is not compatible with animal blood. Just like some people with certain blood types can't receive transfusions from people with certain blood types. Menstrual blood is not dangerous.
I agree is absolute rubbish. The best reason to explain why you cant have sex during menstruation is that, as there is a bleed it means there has been a “death”. And you stay away from death as you strive to live. Thats one explanation. The fact that its the WORST DEFILEMENT on earth is absolute RUBBISH! Its ant woman to say that and its just pathetic. And not true. Mensrutation is just the release of bloody from a uterus, that was preparing for a fertilised egg to implant. If it was SO POISONOUS the woman would die. That is such bullshit. I cant believe she said that and that is believed. Its blood. Nothing more. Nothing less. With contents of the uterus which has shed away as implantation hasn’t occurred. That woman is talking shit! Drisgraceful and an insult.
Ikr? It’s awful how sexist basically all organized religions are. I’d pick Jewish out of all of them … if they didn’t also support and propagate the women are dirty notion
As a Jewish woman, let me assure viewers there are MANY types of Orthodox Jews, with a variety of views. The thing about being a Jew: we debate, we argue, we question everything--as the saying goes, "Two Jews, three opinions!" What this woman said to the bride is just one woman's opinion--I have no idea how she arrived at this conclusion? I have NEVER heard such a poisonously negative view of menstruation from any other Jewish woman. The rat story is, um, how you say? B.S. 😉! Oy! 🙄
I find this interesting as Muslim because it’s not too different from the Islamic rulings when it comes to menstruation. In Islam sexual intercourse is absolutely forbidden during the cycle, but husband and wife can still be intimate with each other. Women also need to do a ritual cleansing when they are done before she can go back to praying the 5 daily prayers (same as the ritual cleansing that both men and women have to do after sexual activity). And it is considered menstruation up to 10 days, after 10 days it’s no longer considered menstruation blood. There’s a lot of commonality between the two religions.
@@thecoffeewonder3085 Yep, and a lot of commonality between two male invented and dominated religions regarding a natural process of women as defilement and women therefore needing cleansing every month. Hey people, it's 2024, not the Dark Ages!
As a Jewish woman I detest that stone age mentality, about something that is completely natural as menstruation. I will never take that on board. The very fact that a woman can menstruate means that she is conversely able to give life, the most beautiful thing there is.
I agree. Its absolute Bullshit and this should be reported and removed. I have reported it. But its a lie. Its dangerous. Its discriminatory to woman of any faith. And if we injected rat blood into ourselves we would most probably die as well. And to say its the most vile of vile things to happen to a woman is just beyond me. How can it be okay one minute and then toxic and poisonous the next. Its absolute rubbish! She doesnt know what she is saying. She needs to be educated about the real reason about abstaining during menstruation. And its nothing to do with it being dirty. Thats comment is moronic.
Not even tht. Sum can have periods but cant have kids. I see it as body cleasing out everything and just shedding the inner lining and eggs that are not being used. Cuz nit every woman wants kids n i hate being seen as "oh your bleeding now you can have baby". Im not a baby maker
It is consideded as a loss of life. The egg that didn't come to be a child. It doesn't make a woman dirty, it makes her unclean, which has to do with death, or handling a dead body.
They should inject rat blood into her and see what happens. Most probably the same thing. She is off her rocker and its a dangerous and misleading thing to say because i see a lot of idiots believe it.
There are a lot of studies that plasma from menstrual blood has almost perfect healing properties and stem cells can be collected from it....sooo....yeah...
A woman is nidah, because she went down in holiness when the potential for a new life was lost. It is the only tumah that can be undone nowadays , because the tumah from a dead body is extremely catching. Tumah does not mean unclean or even impure. It's just that there are certain things that you can only do when you're tahor, if you're not you're in a state of tumah, called tamaih. By the way in a healthy marriage, it's a honeymoon once a month.
Those in positions of power know it’s a lie, but it’s a calculated one: They know that a woman is most fertile about 12-15 days after her period starts. So, by telling couples they can’t have sex during her cycle, which is about five days, and then adding on an additional 7 days after to ensure “cleanliness”, it means when the couple do have sex, it’s at her fertile time. This, obviously, produces more children, which is viewed as a blessing and reinforces the idea that blessings come from keeping the law and traditions. At at the same time, it increases the group population and strength and makes it more difficult for the couple to leave the community. But, they can’t or won’t say this because knowledge of reproductive function can lead to family planning, which would then empower the individual at the stake of the greater community.
Not only it is the woman's when ovulation occurs, the timing also slightly increases the chance if conception occurs, it will more liekly be a male, due to the differences between male Y carrying sperm and the female x carrying sperm. And the refraining from intercourse also has a boost for the male fertility as well, so again when the couple resumes intercourse, conception occurs. That being said, the inital commandment is straight from the Torah and very clear. However, all the explanations and all the rituals dos and don'ts HAVE been taught by rabbis and men from that commandment and long before science knew all of these things.
I would've said it's an insult to the rat. If you inject any random liquid from one species to another, the animal being injected is very likely to die because it'll get crazy inflammation from this cocktail of foreign substances, it's basic immunology. Whoever thought that this experiment would prove anything about menstruation being "unclean" didn't know crap about health.
I can agree that it is a strange experiment but why would it be an insult to WOMEN? I am a woman, it doesn't insult me. Makes me think what could be the reason for it but it doesn't insult me. Someone had to inject my stem cells into rat to see if they heal or not.
I can tell the young woman really doesn't fully believe everything the older woman is telling her, but is doing a polite poker face. I sure hope the menstruation lie is one of them.
It isn't an abomination or sacred. It is just a bodily function. We really need to stop with all this mumbo jumbo nonsense and word salad about basic, biological processes.
Why would it be sacred; it’s just a sign that she hasn’t been impregnated. No human culture in the world or throughout human history has seen menstruation as sacred, but the taboos about menstruation and the belief that a woman at this time is unclean (either physically or spiritually or both) are pretty universal.
Just so you know, that is a very old way of thinking. Most Jews today understand that menarche is completely normal and isn’t “unhealthy”. Choosing to separate for a period of time isn’t because a woman is “dirty “, and most have other concerns when keeping these ritual.
Exactly. Its the most vile and propesterous thing i have ever heard and it’s NOT TRUE. Its dangerous. Its misleading and morons believe it. Im surprised this hasn’t been removed but i am definately going to report it for being grossly inaccurate and an absolute lie! She should inject rat blood into herself and see if she dies because she most probably would. What an ignorant thing to say. And its BELIEVED because its on social media. Very very very dangerous.
It sounds like 50% of the time married hasidic jews avoid all contact. Not sleep together, not touch each other, not even pass the salt and pepper. They're saying it creates desire. For me it would create mental illness.
Because what that woman has said is bullshit! Its funny how you focus on the fact that you cant touch and not have sex and not the fact that that crazy woman is talking the biggest bullshit on the planet. And all you are worried about is the fact you cant have intercourse. Sad for you. Get educated.
@@rosannahunt3897 that i can believe esp as this woman is talking SUCH BULLSHIT! SO WHY FOCUS ON RELIEF AND NOT THE FACT SHE IS TALKING. SHITE! Honestly what is wrong with you woman?
@@rosannahunt3897 Looking at some of these over weight hairy blokes I would say great give me a break go sleep,eat and do whatever out of my space. Just who do men think they are dominating..or trying to dominate us females. Go take a long run boyos.
What's funny is that adult women in these places are praised for having children but they are disrespected for being able to have them, meaning that they have a period. To say that periods are the greatest defilement on earth, that means that you must not treasure life as every mammal that delivers has a monthly, like humans. We are not birds, we don't lay eggs. What about people who unalive, people who grape, people who touch children? Are none of them the greatest defilement? What's makes this worse is that it is always another woman who says these things. Never trust the female that wrongfully goes against her own gender. Edit: I'm not saying that humans are literally animals btw.
It only seems like this at first glance. The earth was cursed as well as every living thing on it after Adam and Eve eating from the forbidden fruit. The curse on women was the process of pregnancy, the pain of birthgiving, and menstruation. The ability itself to have children is God’s greatest blessing, God wanted humans to be able to have this before it falling into sin. However the process of pregnancy and menstruation is one of the greatest curses on earth also. Having all these regulations are painful, but if you see the full picture, the whole cause if you will, becouse the bible gives concrete reasons for them, you start to realize how amazing these are and how amazing God is. Im not jewish, but i have read the bible during the pandemic. I can truely recomend it for everyone. Wish you the bests!
Someone else explained it in a different comment. Defilement isn’t a great word for it. Maybe it doesn’t translate well. Ritually unclean is better. Menstruation is a symbol of a pregnancy that didn’t make it, an egg that never paired up to become a person. It’s a period of mourning for some and a symbol of death, loss of life. Anyone that comes into contact with death is ritually unclean, including men when they have nocturnal emissions. Men and women have to wait until they are no longer in contact with death, and have to go to a Mikveh, a ritual bath for immersion. They dunk themselves, say a blessing, and are now ritually clean and aren’t restricted.
@@Noname-wi8xp There's a question there. How is it that it that it is a loss of a pregnancy if it isn't fertilized and at least 5 weeks old? Perhaps the lack of education in this topic would be a greatest answer but it would be funny if there was a thought that the eggs within women were babies that just couldn't get the cycle going without any DNA from the man. I was just being funny there.
@@Noname-wi8xp And I think it is hard to understand something that is so different from what you are used to. Personally I find rules and instructions something that makes your life easier, so you can focus more of your energy into something that matters, such as helping others. I wonder if it's true that there is a jewish saying "If not me, then who?". I have said that so many times when people asked me why I bother or help an injured animal or do something for others. When you can help, do it, don't think "there will be another person to do this/why should I help". I'm not religious, but if I had to choose a religion I feel the closest to it would be jewdaism.
I heartily agree with most of your post, however mammals have incredibly varied Issue is cycles. The human cycle is monthly whereas canine cycle is biannual. Another difference is that the appearance of blood in a canine indicates fertility rather than inferility. Some mammals can only reproduce once a year being fertile only for a few weeks unless hormones are artificially manipulated eg. Foxes, sheep. Others can carry multiple litters to term in a year having a short gestation period as well as frequent ovulation e.g. Mice, Rabbits. Mammals are very varied.
Any different blood will kill a being. Humans who get a different blood type as a transfusion will die. Inter-species blood, with uterine lining cells of course would be toxic to a lab mouse or rat.
Oh it is! Don’t even get me started! I love how the Kalah teacher tells her that she’s almost a failure for her first marriage not working out. Likely he was a total shmuck. In fact, she looks familiar, she was ok that documentary kosher something or other.

@@sarahjean-louis4728 So the idea that when a married woman goes through a process of ending a monthly unique ability to create life and now takes a break for physical intimacy, that's somehow backward?

Well, if you wait until she's done with her cycle and another, I believe it's 5 or 7 days after that, when the mikveh is prescribed...low and behold, that means the couple is reunited just in time for the most fertile time of her cycle.

Factually speaking, the menstruation period is not the worst, a dead body is. Additionally, the need for the man and woman to separate is not due to her being impure, (as is clear from the laws of impurity) but rather a completely separate prohibition.
I would have had a really hard time growing up in a community like this. A middle-aged self-entitled "authority" wants me to believe the way God created my body is shameful. Even if I would have been raised in such a tradition, my bullshit radar would go off like crazy. This is all about power and not about faith. Look into your heart to find God and always be suspicious if anyone claims to represent him/her.
@@denisek292 Many times humanity creates its own traditions and mentalities that do not please God, even if that group of people originally intended to please God, or think that what they do pleases God.
How toxic one's blood depends. People who eat a lot of waste food and who have nasty diseases, especially STD's, I say have toxic blood. I'm not a doctor or anything like that so I'm just assuming all of this.
There is no such thing as 'toxic' blood. Yes your blood can carry infection but blood itself by the very biological nature cannot become 'toxic' go read a biology book!
Hmm ... Checking for residue, after menstruation has stopped then waiting another 7 days -- That places a woman's cycle in the range of peak fertility.
She must have ignored this rat study. "Human menstrual blood-derived stem cells promote functuonal recovery in rat spinal cord hemisection model." Also, she must not know much about the failure of organ transplants. Or why that happens. Guess that's women's fault, too, even if it's a man. Our bodies recognize a foreign body and attack it. Does not make something impure. Life is in the blood. I'd respect her more sticking to biblical reasons, not some bull rat study.
Menstruation is a cleansing process not a defilement. It's just getting rid of the old uterine lining/tissues etc. that were there to support a pregnancy that didn't happen and getting ready for the next possible one. I'm very sure that lady's view of the process is not one held by many women, Jewish or not.
It's disgusting that they teach women (and men) that menstruation is something dirty, defiling! What an ugly thing to do to young people. There's no defilement in menstruating.
MyGod I feel so sorry for people whom believe in these out dated thoughts. I’d be frightened of being married, I’d feel inferior to a man. A woman is good enough to cook look after the husband and home but having a natural period is not healthy for a man . I find this ancient beliefs . Yes we need structure but please God he created equal. Women are good enough to procreate with to have children. Why do these many faiths leave women feeling second class too the husband. I really do hope there are women out there strong enough to get together and say NO. NO MORE. WHY DO MEN THINK THEY CAN DOMINATE WOMEN. We as women have free will as do men. This nonsense needs change and change starts with young ones refusing if they can to have an equal marriage.✝️🙏
It is more to keep them separate at the time the woman is not fertile. It doesn't downgrade women. They are so important to Judaism. This made it sound wrong.
It's not dirty or unclean. It's a state when you can't do some things. And the holiness of the marriage bed is purely in the wife's, hand, the husband has to trust his wife. And if the marriage is so bad that she doesn't want sex, she just stops going to mikvah and tells his so. He can't even seduce her
@@elia7011 Nope, because 1 Jewish man decides to believe something does not mean it is correct or law. Jesus met None of the qualifications of the Messiah. I am running out and will follow up later.
If the blood is toxic, then the woman who is menstruating would die as well. No, its not true its toxic, it simply has to do with antibodies and compatability.
This way of thinking is absolutely disgusting. Of course, they cherry pick what is going to confirm what they are presenting. Still, please show us the study and how many rats were there, show us the rats that were injected with regular blood and didn't die, and more importantly, show us what makes menstrual blood so toxic. Show us the peer-reviewed study and all the findings!!!!
Mentruation is natural I mean I get not praying during it because of constant flow ( I am Muslim ) but we can touch our Quran and go to the mosque and do all other things like read Quran and duas and all that except prayer..
What does "constant flow" have to do with not praying? I'm decades past menopause but during my menstruating years would've resorted to prayer to ease my "constant flow" if I'd have believed it would help.
Two people with two failed marriages already behind them need serious counselling before another marriage. Serious. Counselling. With a licensed therapist.
Really ridiculous! They don’t say what happened to the rats that were injected with non menstruation blood? This was not a valid test unless they did the test both ways!! And who did this test anyway?
@@Korea4Me I think Judy is being sarcastic. I've been orthodox all my life and I've never heard of this business about the rodents. It sounds absurd to me. Orthodox Jewish women view the laws of mikvah as a very holy thing. The prevailing idea is that G-d entrusted the sanctity of marriage and the future of the Jewish nation to the Jewish Woman.I hope this sits better with people. These are the kinds of concepts I grew up with as a teenager.
Oh well....this video was very informative. I will say that I am happy to be born in a little island in the Caribbean, that is very open minded. Like every other island discovered by Christopher Columbus, our Religion is Catholic, but we are free to learn about other people Religions. This video is an eye opening for me. 🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐
While I get why ppl are horrified at the way women are thought of, with regard to their menstruation, I also understand that this is the way of their beliefs. If they do not have a problem with it because of their belief in God, then we have to respect that. In my own beliefs as a Christian woman, we are not to remarry after divorce (I divorced my late ex-husband because of abuse), as it is seen as adultery because in the eyes of God, when you married, you became as one with your spouse---what God has joined, let no man put asunder. God dislikes divorce, but it happens, and when it does, you are still bound to that person. I did not remarry until my late husband passed away as a result of a vehicular accident.
Challenging religion is necessary for societal and scientific progress though. "Respecting beliefs" that have no legitimate basis and are just making people miserable because "it's their religion" is exactly the kind of mentality that would have kept people believing that the sun revolves around the Earth, and that mentally ill people are posessed by demons.
Having a belief of something that is categorically NOT true is the point of it all. Why cant you people see that…..and by people i mean woman and the idiotic men who believe this bullshit. Because you see it on RUclips DOESNT MAKE THIS BULLSHIT TRUE. AND because a certain religion says it you just say well, its their religion so we believe it. BULLSHIT BULLSHIT BULLSHIT. THE LIES SHE IS SPEWING DOESNT MAKE IT TRUE. Inject rat blood into your body and see what happens. Let us know, if you survive. And woman being unclean is a male construct. Its bullshit. Absolute rubbish and you all just believe it because of a book and a religion. When its not true at all.
They have no choice about it: they're brainwashed from childhood on to comply with everything their religion teaches them, no matter how outlandish and humiliating it may be.
I feel the same way. 50% of first marriages end in divorce, 65% of 2nd marriages end in divorce and 75% of 3rd marriages end in divorce. One divorce was awful; never want to go through it again!
I know this pertains to religious beliefs, and that is totally fine if someone wants to practice the two weeks of separation, but just so you know (if anyone is worried about their period blood), it is not toxic. It’s lining from the uterus which was prepared to protect a baby, so don’t feel like there is anything wrong with your body. It’s perfectly natural! And it’s all about you and your partners level of comfort when it comes to how close you are during this time
The girls start taking mikveh from when they get their first periods? Pre-wedding isn't the first time is it? Is the "witness cloth" something they start last period right before the marriage? Did the young lady also discuss with the rebbetzin when her periods might fall in relativity to the wedding date?
1. The mikveh is for married people. It is used at other times, but not so much in relation to menstruation. (Also, it’s important to note, the “defilement” talk around it is unique to a few, Ill-informed people. You can follow this ritual of avoiding touch without shaming women or men for natural, bodily functions) 2. The cloth is used right bed the wedding, correct. 3. The engagements are typically pretty short, and yes, you would plan it based on your cycle. Some even use birth control to regulate it so they can plan when it will be in relation to the wedding, but a lot of people choose to do that for their weddings.
@@lesleylawson1117 Thank you very much for answering. I wondered was it possible to break the hyman and is the witness cloth very intrusive.... So the wedding date is strongly decided by the women and the rebbetzin and then relayed to the men?
There is nothing impure about menstruation. This is toxic misogyny. Jesus came to deliver us from this legalistic misogyny. He loved and embraced women as His friends and disciples and had no use for this nonsense. In Christ, there is no male or female, Jew or gentile. There is all embracing, universal Love that honors women and respects women's bodies, rather than stigmatizing normal biological functions

"Defilement " is an incorrect translation. The closest English word would be "impure" which is due to the lack of progression to a human life. "Impure" is not the perfect word either but the best I can think of.
Menstrual blood is so pure and full of nutrients. It is the living food for another human being. Sometimes menstruation even smells sweet, especially at the beginning of the cycle.

As amuslim girl , i actually beleive while in menstruation is forbidden to have sex but that not mean we are seperated in our mentality and our regular life so , its right when woman said its toxic blood means is not clean blood we all know that , so that makes sense in our different faith😊
I mean no disrespect at all towards Jewish tradition. But, menstruation is a very normal and natural process. And yes, if you inject rats with ANY type of blood they will die since human and animal blood do not mix. But I'm sure that not all Ultra Orthodox Jews think exactly alike, just like many Christians don't always think alike. But, it's interesting to see what the different views are and why they are the way they are.

YOU ARE VERY WRONG as well and ignorant about how bodies work. Its not unclean. That is a MALE invention. Have you been to Medical school? Are you a DR? Unless you are, go back and get an education. Do you consider a cut bleeding finger to be unclean? why is any different. The only thing is that its blood being expelled from the body because the uterus was made ready for an implantation of a fertilised egg. If that doesnt happen, why is it unclean. Its blood clots. Its natural and normal. And definately not unclean. Its make be gross to some, but how can something that was clean and ready for an implantation for your baby, then become unclean? It says more about woman who believe this absolute make invention than it does about the men who invented it.

@@tuktuk3142 -what era are you living in- might have happened in your generation, however, not so much now- I go to temple during that period and perform all the rituals daily/on festivals- nobody asks me to provide a certificate of being clear/kosher/halal to enter into the temple.

Women? they make too big a materrial demand on a wedding/ maybe 5 or so hours. and so little invested for the days and years after. All these retailers and caterers shelling for the event, even the cards the video the photos etc. Weddings over $50,000 are often found. Just a matter of wealth And desire to spend what they have. Immature and naive but made to understand the commitment must be made. Duty and intimidation. Like the old days, you had few choices, you did it, but it was not a pretentios Hollywood extravaganza; it was an important family festival.
When it’s the one day of your life that you are celebrated, then of course it’s a big thing. When the world wants you to be married and produce babies, when one doesn’t gets treated as an entity in one’s own right; then this is your day. Your only day.
Ignorance is bliss for some, dangerous for others. Let's hope this girl ignored this poisonous old lady and the young man trusted his own instincts rather than those of the old bearded goat.
If that story about the experiment with the rats is true....they died because human blood is not compatible with animal blood. Just like some people with certain blood types can't receive transfusions from people with certain blood types. Menstrual blood is not dangerous.
That 'medical' experiment is beyond ridiculous, thank you for explaining this so eloquently
Blood is biohazard, all blood not just menstrual blood.
I agree is absolute rubbish. The best reason to explain why you cant have sex during menstruation is that, as there is a bleed it means there has been a “death”. And you stay away from death as you strive to live. Thats one explanation. The fact that its the WORST DEFILEMENT on earth is absolute RUBBISH! Its ant woman to say that and its just pathetic. And not true. Mensrutation is just the release of bloody from a uterus, that was preparing for a fertilised egg to implant. If it was SO POISONOUS the woman would die. That is such bullshit. I cant believe she said that and that is believed. Its blood. Nothing more. Nothing less. With contents of the uterus which has shed away as implantation hasn’t occurred. That woman is talking shit! Drisgraceful and an insult.
Instilling self loathing is never a good idea. Rats dying? Ridiculous!
Ikr? It’s awful how sexist basically all organized religions are. I’d pick Jewish out of all of them … if they didn’t also support and propagate the women are dirty notion
As a Jewish woman, let me assure viewers there are MANY types of Orthodox Jews, with a variety of views. The thing about being a Jew: we debate, we argue, we question everything--as the saying goes, "Two Jews, three opinions!" What this woman said to the bride is just one woman's opinion--I have no idea how she arrived at this conclusion? I have NEVER heard such a poisonously negative view of menstruation from any other Jewish woman. The rat story is, um, how you say? B.S. 😉! Oy! 🙄
I find this interesting as Muslim because it’s not too different from the Islamic rulings when it comes to menstruation. In Islam sexual intercourse is absolutely forbidden during the cycle, but husband and wife can still be intimate with each other. Women also need to do a ritual cleansing when they are done before she can go back to praying the 5 daily prayers (same as the ritual cleansing that both men and women have to do after sexual activity). And it is considered menstruation up to 10 days, after 10 days it’s no longer considered menstruation blood.
There’s a lot of commonality between the two religions.
@@thecoffeewonder3085 Yep, and a lot of commonality between two male invented and dominated religions regarding a natural process of women as defilement and women therefore needing cleansing every month. Hey people, it's 2024, not the Dark Ages!
As a Jewish woman I detest that stone age mentality, about something that is completely natural as menstruation.
I will never take that on board.
The very fact that a woman can menstruate means that she is conversely able to give life, the most beautiful thing there is.
I agree. Its absolute Bullshit and this should be reported and removed. I have reported it. But its a lie. Its dangerous. Its discriminatory to woman of any faith. And if we injected rat blood into ourselves we would most probably die as well. And to say its the most vile of vile things to happen to a woman is just beyond me. How can it be okay one minute and then toxic and poisonous the next. Its absolute rubbish! She doesnt know what she is saying. She needs to be educated about the real reason about abstaining during menstruation. And its nothing to do with it being dirty. Thats comment is moronic.
That is the natural
power given to
women.
Men do not like
to concede power
to women. Most
men want to control
women.
Not even tht. Sum can have periods but cant have kids. I see it as body cleasing out everything and just shedding the inner lining and eggs that are not being used. Cuz nit every woman wants kids n i hate being seen as "oh your bleeding now you can have baby". Im not a baby maker
Agreed! If anything is vile it is men and their sexual disgusting urges to rape and pillage.
I agree with you. I'm sure not all Jewish women or men think exactly alike on this subject.
"A woman's menstruation period is the biggest defilement on Earth.." big yikes.
Yeah 👍... Especially when lots of men do horrific things to animals, children, babies !!!! 🤬 But to have the monthly is diflement.... NO IT IS NOT
It is consideded as a loss of life. The egg that didn't come to be a child. It doesn't make a woman dirty, it makes her unclean, which has to do with death, or handling a dead body.

There are a lot of studies that plasma from menstrual blood has almost perfect healing properties and stem cells can be collected from it....sooo....yeah...
👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 yes. It’s not defilement. It’s sacres
A woman is nidah, because she went down in holiness when the potential for a new life was lost.
It is the only tumah that can be undone nowadays , because the tumah from a dead body is extremely catching.
Tumah does not mean unclean or even impure. It's just that there are certain things that you can only do when you're tahor, if you're not you're in a state of tumah, called tamaih.
By the way in a healthy marriage, it's a honeymoon once a month.
Those in positions of power know it’s a lie, but it’s a calculated one:
They know that a woman is most fertile about 12-15 days after her period starts. So, by telling couples they can’t have sex during her cycle, which is about five days, and then adding on an additional 7 days after to ensure “cleanliness”, it means when the couple do have sex, it’s at her fertile time.
This, obviously, produces more children, which is viewed as a blessing and reinforces the idea that blessings come from keeping the law and traditions.
At at the same time, it increases the group population and strength and makes it more difficult for the couple to leave the community.
But, they can’t or won’t say this because knowledge of reproductive function can lead to family planning, which would then empower the individual at the stake of the greater community.
They CLEARLY think peopledont know the moon cycle....
Not only it is the woman's when ovulation occurs, the timing also slightly increases the chance if conception occurs, it will more liekly be a male, due to the differences between male Y carrying sperm and the female x carrying sperm. And the refraining from intercourse also has a boost for the male fertility as well, so again when the couple resumes intercourse, conception occurs.
That being said, the inital commandment is straight from the Torah and very clear. However, all the explanations and all the rituals dos and don'ts HAVE been taught by rabbis and men from that commandment and long before science knew all of these things.
Why on earth would people inject menstrual blood into a rat in the first place?. This is an insult to women kind.
I would've said it's an insult to the rat. If you inject any random liquid from one species to another, the animal being injected is very likely to die because it'll get crazy inflammation from this cocktail of foreign substances, it's basic immunology. Whoever thought that this experiment would prove anything about menstruation being "unclean" didn't know crap about health.
And the poor rat too
I can agree that it is a strange experiment but why would it be an insult to WOMEN? I am a woman, it doesn't insult me. Makes me think what could be the reason for it but it doesn't insult me. Someone had to inject my stem cells into rat to see if they heal or not.
I can tell the young woman really doesn't fully believe everything the older woman is telling her, but is doing a polite poker face. I sure hope the menstruation lie is one of them.
It is all about the old traditions. Many Jewish traditions are obsolete but are still applied in the orthodox community.
A woman's period is not a horrible thing, it's actually sacred.
It isn't an abomination or sacred. It is just a bodily function. We really need to stop with all this mumbo jumbo nonsense and word salad about basic, biological processes.
Why would it be sacred; it’s just a sign that she hasn’t been impregnated. No human culture in the world or throughout human history has seen menstruation as sacred, but the taboos about menstruation and the belief that a woman at this time is unclean (either physically or spiritually or both) are pretty universal.
Not according to the jew god.
IMO - having a menstrual period is part of humanity. To consider it a "defilement" is a misoginistic holdover from patriarchal cultures.
ieuw no. You gonna drink it? of course not
Absolutely horrified and disgusted that people still think this way about a normal, healthy, human body function.
Just so you know, that is a very old way of thinking. Most Jews today understand that menarche is completely normal and isn’t “unhealthy”. Choosing to separate for a period of time isn’t because a woman is “dirty “, and most have other concerns when keeping these ritual.
It’s not physically unclean it’s spiritually unclean .. you can’t think of it as not touching cause of dirt or germs

What's funny is that adult women in these places are praised for having children but they are disrespected for being able to have them, meaning that they have a period. To say that periods are the greatest defilement on earth, that means that you must not treasure life as every mammal that delivers has a monthly, like humans. We are not birds, we don't lay eggs. What about people who unalive, people who grape, people who touch children? Are none of them the greatest defilement? What's makes this worse is that it is always another woman who says these things. Never trust the female that wrongfully goes against her own gender.
Edit: I'm not saying that humans are literally animals btw.
It only seems like this at first glance. The earth was cursed as well as every living thing on it after Adam and Eve eating from the forbidden fruit. The curse on women was the process of pregnancy, the pain of birthgiving, and menstruation. The ability itself to have children is God’s greatest blessing, God wanted humans to be able to have this before it falling into sin. However the process of pregnancy and menstruation is one of the greatest curses on earth also.
Having all these regulations are painful, but if you see the full picture, the whole cause if you will, becouse the bible gives concrete reasons for them, you start to realize how amazing these are and how amazing God is. Im not jewish, but i have read the bible during the pandemic. I can truely recomend it for everyone.
Wish you the bests!
Someone else explained it in a different comment.
Defilement isn’t a great word for it. Maybe it doesn’t translate well.
Ritually unclean is better. Menstruation is a symbol of a pregnancy that didn’t make it, an egg that never paired up to become a person. It’s a period of mourning for some and a symbol of death, loss of life.
Anyone that comes into contact with death is ritually unclean, including men when they have nocturnal emissions. Men and women have to wait until they are no longer in contact with death, and have to go to a Mikveh, a ritual bath for immersion.
They dunk themselves, say a blessing, and are now ritually clean and aren’t restricted.
@@Noname-wi8xp There's a question there. How is it that it that it is a loss of a pregnancy if it isn't fertilized and at least 5 weeks old? Perhaps the lack of education in this topic would be a greatest answer but it would be funny if there was a thought that the eggs within women were babies that just couldn't get the cycle going without any DNA from the man. I was just being funny there.
@@Noname-wi8xp And I think it is hard to understand something that is so different from what you are used to. Personally I find rules and instructions something that makes your life easier, so you can focus more of your energy into something that matters, such as helping others. I wonder if it's true that there is a jewish saying "If not me, then who?". I have said that so many times when people asked me why I bother or help an injured animal or do something for others. When you can help, do it, don't think "there will be another person to do this/why should I help". I'm not religious, but if I had to choose a religion I feel the closest to it would be jewdaism.
I heartily agree with most of your post, however mammals have incredibly varied Issue is cycles. The human cycle is monthly whereas canine cycle is biannual. Another difference is that the appearance of blood in a canine indicates fertility rather than inferility. Some mammals can only reproduce once a year being fertile only for a few weeks unless hormones are artificially manipulated eg. Foxes, sheep. Others can carry multiple litters to term in a year having a short gestation period as well as frequent ovulation e.g. Mice, Rabbits. Mammals are very varied.
There's a couple of solid pieces of relationship advice in there, once you delete the whole period angst.
Omfg that old woman is so confidently misinformed. Just one of many things I dislike about religion.

Factually speaking, the menstruation period is not the worst, a dead body is.
Additionally, the need for the man and woman to separate is not due to her being impure, (as is clear from the laws of impurity) but rather a completely separate prohibition.

I think the rats would die if they were injected with pure air into their blood vessels as well... does that mean air is bad? 😂
She must have ignored this rat study. "Human menstrual blood-derived stem cells promote functuonal recovery in rat spinal cord hemisection model." Also, she must not know much about the failure of organ transplants. Or why that happens. Guess that's women's fault, too, even if it's a man. Our bodies recognize a foreign body and attack it. Does not make something impure. Life is in the blood. I'd respect her more sticking to biblical reasons, not some bull rat study.
Menstruation is a cleansing process not a defilement. It's just getting rid of the old uterine lining/tissues etc. that were there to support a pregnancy that didn't happen and getting ready for the next possible one. I'm very sure that lady's view of the process is not one held by many women, Jewish or not.
It's disgusting that they teach women (and men) that menstruation is something dirty, defiling! What an ugly thing to do to young people. There's no defilement in menstruating.

It's not dirty or unclean. It's a state when you can't do some things. And the holiness of the marriage bed is purely in the wife's, hand, the husband has to trust his wife.

While I get why ppl are horrified at the way women are thought of, with regard to their menstruation, I also understand that this is the way of their beliefs. If they do not have a problem with it because of their belief in God, then we have to respect that. In my own beliefs as a Christian woman, we are not to remarry after divorce (I divorced my late ex-husband because of abuse), as it is seen as adultery because in the eyes of God, when you married, you became as one with your spouse---what God has joined, let no man put asunder. God dislikes divorce, but it happens, and when it does, you are still bound to that person. I did not remarry until my late husband passed away as a result of a vehicular accident.
Challenging religion is necessary for societal and scientific progress though. "Respecting beliefs" that have no legitimate basis and are just making people miserable because "it's their religion" is exactly the kind of mentality that would have kept people believing that the sun revolves around the Earth, and that mentally ill people are posessed by demons.
Having a belief of something that is categorically NOT true is the point of it all. Why cant you people see that…..and by people i mean woman and the idiotic men who believe this bullshit. Because you see it on RUclips DOESNT MAKE THIS BULLSHIT TRUE. AND because a certain religion says it you just say well, its their religion so we believe it. BULLSHIT BULLSHIT BULLSHIT. THE LIES SHE IS SPEWING DOESNT MAKE IT TRUE. Inject rat blood into your body and see what happens. Let us know, if you survive. And woman being unclean is a male construct. Its bullshit. Absolute rubbish and you all just believe it because of a book and a religion. When its not true at all.
They have no choice about it: they're brainwashed from childhood on to comply with everything their religion teaches them, no matter how outlandish and humiliating it may be.
I feel the same way. 50% of first marriages end in divorce, 65% of 2nd marriages end in divorce and 75% of 3rd marriages end in divorce. One divorce was awful; never want to go through it again!
This practice reinforces the belief that a woman is dirty.

I know this pertains to religious beliefs, and that is totally fine if someone wants to practice the two weeks of separation, but just so you know (if anyone is worried about their period blood), it is not toxic. It’s lining from the uterus which was prepared to protect a baby, so don’t feel like there is anything wrong with your body. It’s perfectly natural! And it’s all about you and your partners level of comfort when it comes to how close you are during this time
The girls start taking mikveh from when they get their first periods? Pre-wedding isn't the first time is it?
Is the "witness cloth" something they start last period right before the marriage?
Did the young lady also discuss with the rebbetzin when her periods might fall in relativity to the wedding date?
they only start going to the mikveh when they are married. They go once right before the wedding
1. The mikveh is for married people. It is used at other times, but not so much in relation to menstruation. (Also, it’s important to note, the “defilement” talk around it is unique to a few, Ill-informed people. You can follow this ritual of avoiding touch without shaming women or men for natural, bodily functions)
2. The cloth is used right bed the wedding, correct.
3. The engagements are typically pretty short, and yes, you would plan it based on your cycle. Some even use birth control to regulate it so they can plan when it will be in relation to the wedding, but a lot of people choose to do that for their weddings.
@@lesleylawson1117 Thank you very much for answering.

There is nothing impure about menstruation. This is toxic misogyny. Jesus came to deliver us from this legalistic misogyny.

I. Can’t. Even.
Period blood is toxic well never heard that but it sure feels like hell I hate having my period
That old lady is really scarey.I would RUN.
😂😂😂 I love the fact that when they say the actual truth people in the comments are HORRIFIED. But when they record videos sugarcoating the truth people ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. 😂😂😂
I was just watching a video about those menstruation baths the women need to take, and the explanation that it’s because they need to recover their holiness, and commenters were amazed at it 😂 oh guys, you really need to get a grip
"Defilement " is an incorrect translation. The closest English word would be "impure" which is due to the lack of progression to a human life. "Impure" is not the perfect word either but the best I can think of.
That’s a great way to put it 👍🏽
Menstrual blood is so pure and full of nutrients. It is the living food for another human being. Sometimes menstruation even smells sweet, especially at the beginning of the cycle.
Well, you can think of it as more the "bed" prepared for the baby. The baby gets it's nutrients through the umbilical cord from the mother.
CHRIST came and that changes everything. U are not in the bond of these things anymore. U are free through HIM and ur mensus is not a defilment
"Biggest defilement..."
Shocked
Haha where did she find this study with rats, in her kitchen? What a load of rubbish!
Uneducated misogynists.
It was a real study. It was infectious if not taken under sterile conditions (as would be expected). If from American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology
Volume 65, Issue 5, May 1953, Pages 1065-1068.
@@judylapointe3507 So....under sterile conditions it won't kill rats? I'd say inject quite a few things of a non-sterile nature into a living thing and they will either die or become very sick. I'm sorry, I can't accept the spiel about menstrual blood being a defilement.
More like BS what do you expect from them ignorant people
So, does the wedding get planned around her cycle???
yes
The rat experiment was from 1940
This bs is blowing my mind. These males are pulled out of school at around 12 yrs old. What a surprise.
It’s funny how people are condemning Jewish Faith but there’s a good portion of religions and cultures that believe menstrual blood is evil.
Experiment with rats my aching a$$! Where did this occur? This is the kinda nonsense that keeps them from reading a book.
To each their own
As amuslim girl , i actually beleive while in menstruation is forbidden to have sex but that not mean we are seperated in our mentality and our regular life so , its right when woman said its toxic blood means is not clean blood we all know that , so that makes sense in our different faith😊
Or just decomposing blood that is injected into the tissue of another living thing is wrong and torture. What an uneducated comparison.
I mean no disrespect at all towards Jewish tradition. But, menstruation is a very normal and natural process. And yes, if you inject rats with ANY type of blood they will die since human and animal blood do not mix. But I'm sure that not all Ultra Orthodox Jews think exactly alike, just like many Christians don't always think alike. But, it's interesting to see what the different views are and why they are the way they are.
what has in common a rat with humans ?
ההבדל הוא במי יכול או לא יכול לצאת מהעבדות שאנחנו היהודים הצלחנו לשחרר את עצמנו ממנה במצרים, בזמן שאנשיך אלוורז נשארים משועבדים,... השאלה כאן לגבי שאלתך היא... או שמא היא תהיה גבר או תהיה עכבר, אנחנו לא מושבתים וכן, אנו מאמינים שיש לשמור על הכללים שהשם נתן לנו כדי לרומם את נשמת האדם במקום להיות החיה שאינה מסוגלת. מהבנת ההנאה היצרית ועד ההנאות ששלום בית בעקבות החוקים יכול להביא
I can tell you what humans and rats have in common😂
Where is this?
Israel 🇮🇱
It's a new thing for me.because I belong from a hindu culture.in a Hinduism their is no such a tough restrictions.but I am appreciate to a Jewish culture.i have learnt a new thing.i had seen some few video on Jewish culture.it is a nice culture.it is a mixture of toughness and kindness.i like this culture.
But don't they put women in forest houses in some parts of India when they are on their period and not allowed to visit the temple
@@ashleyenvy6320 this is normal thing during a period women has not allowed to enter the temple.
Its bullshit. Do you really believe what she is saying about woman’s blood being filthy and dirty. BULLSHIT. Shes relaying absolutely FALSE information….thats what you should be focusing on as a HINDU. Men saying that woman are unclean. BULLSHIT.
@@tuktuk3142 thats because men have said it ALL OVER THE WORLD. MEN. NOT WOMAN. MEN. AND WOMAN BELIEVE IT BECAUSE MEN HAVE BEEN SAYING IT SINCE THE BEGINNING OF RELIGION. It doesnt make it true. And what will happen if you go into temple while menstrauting? WILL the sky fall in? Will you get struck by lightening? Will you die? What? What bullshit is that that happens. Jews are told that if you eat bacon you will get violently ill and most probably die and many people who leave the faith, will eat a bacon sandwich and run to toilet, in preparation for them to start vomiting. It doesnt happen because its not true. A woman is not unclean if she menstruates. I dont believe that. Because its a male construct. Why are you unclean, when all your body is doing is expelling blood from a uterus which wa preparing for an in plantation for a fertilised egg. Why does it suddenly become unclean? Its the same atttitude they have against females in India and aborting female fetus’s and if you cant see the similarity in what MEN say about woman’s and do to them, just because they are woman. That is your focus. Not on stupid dirty unclean blood which is BULLSHIT.
@@elia7011 support gods chosen people by calling out this absolute bullshit that this woman is saying. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU????????????????????? TELLING A WOMAN THAT SHE IS FILTHY AND MENSTRUATION IS THE BIGGEST DEFILEMENT ON THIS EARTH IS NOT RESPECTING WOMAN. SHAME ON YOU! Inject resat blood into you and see what happens. woman are not unclean when menstruation. Wake up and think about what you are focusing on and saying. Honestly…WTF?
I don’t know about “biggest defilement on earth” but definitely it isn’t clean. My husband doesn’t care about that but because he doesn’t care, we had more than one uti at the same time. Wives tales are there for a reason, it might have evolved over time but there is a reason our bodies gets rid of things. I’m sure they can and should phrase things differently. They don’t need to put anybody down to talk about hygiene. And unfortunately the he 7 day wait isn’t to yearn each other more, but for procreation. Anyways. I’m glad the guy cares enough to even ask. I wonder how they doing now.
YOU ARE VERY WRONG as well and ignorant about how bodies work. Its not unclean. That is a MALE invention. Have you been to Medical school? Are you a DR? Unless you are, go back and get an education. Do you consider a cut bleeding finger to be unclean? why is any different. The only thing is that its blood being expelled from the body because the uterus was made ready for an implantation of a fertilised egg. If that doesnt happen, why is it unclean. Its blood clots. Its natural and normal. And definately not unclean. Its make be gross to some, but how can something that was clean and ready for an implantation for your baby, then become unclean? It says more about woman who believe this absolute make invention than it does about the men who invented it. In Japan a man was dying from a heart attack at a SUMO WRESTLING MATCH. 2 female drs came to resuscitate him on the mat. The mat was considered holy and woman werent allowed on it because they MENSTRUATE AND MAKE THEM DIRTY AND UNHOLY! SO TGHEY COULDNT ATTEND TO THE MAN. TOUGH LUCK FOR HIM FOR BEING SO STUPID! Its old fashioned and not true. So get a grip and re-educate yourself.
It's in the old testament/Torah what she is saying to her . G-D does not change he is the same forever. Do you not think you no longer keep the ten commandments if your truly saved I believe you should. Not everyone who says Lord Lord shall enter therein/ Heaven. Shalom
I love the sanctity of the menstrual period, christians also observe but not other cultures, but everthing God made is good. He says so. Similarly the 6 weeks period of grace after childbirth is scriptural and medically totally correct, God designed us, He knows what is best, BARUCH HA SHEM AND, AND THE WEDDING BREAKFAST IS BECAUSE THE GROOM IDEALLY SPENDS THE EVENING BEFORE PRAYING THAT HE WILL BE A GODLY HUSBAND, SEE EPHESIANS 5 AND 1 PETER 3 AND 1 CORINTHIANS 13. THE ABHORRENT STAG OR HEN PARTIES WITH THE GROOM INSULTING HIS BRIDE BY COMING TO THE CEREMONY WITH A HANGOVER IS ABSOLUTELY TRAGIC, AND IT IS A SOLEMN THING GIVEN BY GOD, INTRODUCED BY MOSES AND RESTORED BY YESHUA AT CANAAN
Pity. Interesting subject but wrong choice of subtitles. Almost impossible to read
I've never heard such insane and ignorant nonsense in all my life. I pity these people.
all these comments is not of people who studied tora clearly
Absurd😡🤬
I specifically think that it's a time to devote more learning of Our HEAVENLY FATHER, a time apart from our earthly duties. A time that we are clearly cleaner because we are probably not touched by the man and his lust.
Ridiculous. My wife and I have been married 51 years, three daughters, plus grandkids. We never even came remotely close to following this drivel.
Shalom
Lol the rats dying from blood got me
Actually hindu culture has a all freedom to do anything.nothing as much hard on a hinduism.what ever person wants they can do it easily.that is why it is new for me.but I like this culture.nice culture.
But I had a brahmin friend in high school who was treated like an untouchable when she was on her cycle . She wasnt allowed to sit on sofa or sleep on bed . If she touched her mom the mother had to take a bath and I passed my high school in 2019 so it isn't long back at all .
@@sabahatchouhan9685 Yes it's true high class Brahmins have a restriction due to their culture.they follow their custom at any cost.
@@sabahatchouhan9685 Hindu culture too have these restrictions. In fact, every religion has. In hindu culture we have these to follow for menstruating women: no going near the water Wells, no plucking fruits and leaves from plants, no making pickles, no sleeping on bed, bath and wash cloths as soon as you wake up, never wear to temple what you wear while you menstruate, no ding dong with spouse for married couples and no going to temple or praying unless you have cleared for 12 days if you have 7 day long periods. If you have 4 day cycles, then 7 day clearance is enough.
@@tuktuk3142 -what era are you living in- might have happened in your generation, however, not so much now- I go to temple during that period and perform all the rituals daily/on festivals- nobody asks me to provide a certificate of being clear/kosher/halal to enter into the temple. Please do not use random examples to misrepresent the community 🙏
@@teacup9596 ok which religion do you belong?and where are you from?
What Crap.!.. I feel so sorry for the women when they have their periods. Fancy to think & believe that a woman is dirty & toxic in her Monthly.
Can a women marry while she has her period? Probably not since the whole town will know when she is menstruating.
Ha! No such study on lab mice and blood was ever conducted. This old yenta is a good BS artist.
Religious people think they know everything 😂😂😂😂

😂oh my. if you inject rats with beer or anything else they will die. of course they have to die, the proteins are different for every species.
Women? they make too big a materrial demand on a wedding/ maybe 5 or so hours. and so little invested for the days and years after. All these retailers and caterers shelling for the event, even the cards the video the photos etc. Weddings over $50,000 are often found. Just a matter of wealth And desire to spend what they have. Immature and naive but made to understand the commitment must be made. Duty and intimidation. Like the old days, you had few choices, you did it, but it was not a pretentios Hollywood extravaganza; it was an important family festival.
It seems weddings, no matter what faith is really getting out of control on the money spent!
When it’s the one day of your life that you are celebrated, then of course it’s a big thing. When the world wants you to be married and produce babies, when one doesn’t gets treated as an entity in one’s own right; then this is your day. Your only day.
I wouldn't wear white if I were divorced.
All of u out there ranting and raving u live ur lives and we will live ours! Make sure u don't have a heart attack.
Having a strong opinion ( different than someone else's) is not insulting. Depends upon how that opinion is expressed.
Ignorance is bliss for some, dangerous for others. Let's hope this girl ignored this poisonous old lady and the young man trusted his own instincts rather than those of the old bearded goat.
No thanks
Science is hard.
Biggest defilement but can create a human. Are you serious?
The rats thing? Utter lies.
