I love how she goes “ you are loved and you are enough just the way you are “ I felt that love. 💖
I am not Jewish, but I am so fascinated by other peoples perspectives and religions!! I love how accessible you make learning about your people and their culture!!! This was amazing and thank you for sharing a beautiful piece of your life with us!!
I’m feeling the exact same way. Thank you for putting it into words💖
Thank you so so much : I’m so happy you liked it❤️
@frum it up I have a question. Do you meet with a mikveh assistant that's of the same sex? So a man for a man and woman for a woman?
@@bornnbred7139 yes
Yes, I am Christian, but I love the concept of spiritual and physical cleansing as well. Sounds very relaxing and rejuvenating and I definitely would use the experience to meditate on Scripture.
I am not Jewish but I love learning about Judaism. As a Christian, I feel like watching your videos, and videos of other Orthodox Jewish women on RUclips make my faith stronger and my actions more intentional. I love new beginnings. ❤
Our Messiah was jewish. That is why you feel the connection. Return to the old paths, the law wasn't done away with (Matthew 5:17) but never forget your Savior.
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).
So thank you for sharing this private part of Jewish woman culture with us ! You're a great ambassador of your religious culture.
merci beaucoup Alain :)
I am Catholic and I find the ritual of the Jewish Mikveh so beautiful and holy. I am blessed to have see this, I am blessed that you shared it with us, and you are also loved. Shalom.
I am Protestant and I find everything she shows us is beautiful, peaceful amd respectful. It’s harmony. I too feel blessed to see her videos. She has a new voice, soothing and understanding. Many blessings to her and her family. 🥰
The think I like the most is how many steps there are and how it must remind you of God all the way. I imagine anyone who does this has a beautiful relationship with God
@@mjs22 amen 🙏
I love new beginnings. 🙂 excellent video and explanation. Thank you for making it. Be Well.
Aww thank you thank you ❤️❤️
I'm an atheist and I love the peace and joy you have in your life because of the guidance of your faith. Sending love to you and yours.
@@narlywaves2371 It is the belief of this adult woman and I respect her right to have her belief whether I agree with it or not. Shame on you for not respecting others.
It is so sad you can propagate such ignorant and quite frankly ridiculous concepts around the Mikveh! The Mikveh propagating germs 🦠 is an old folktale as blatantly ridiculous as all orthodox women have their hair shaved off!! 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
You obviously know nothing about what is the Mikveh and it’s true meaning and only base yourself on more uninformed and biased sources!
So sad …
Thank you! It’s so sad to have so many misinformed people trying to peddle their nonsense 😔😔😔
@@narlywaves2371 I’m coming back to this video and I’m so sad to see this comment. I’m shocked. Have you done research on this topic? There is no “shame” involved in this.
I love new beginnings. This was a very informative video. I had basic knowledge of Mikvah, how & when it is used but found this video very well put together and interesting. Peace and love. I sense that you are from Montreal. That is my home town tho I no longer reside there.
I am not Jewish, but I can see how essential taking this time for mikvah is for your spiritual and mental well-being. This quite private time would be so great to have each month in my life. You are so blessed❤.
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.
As a believer of Yeshua, it saddens me, that we did not keep these traditions. Thank you for sharing… I would love to be able to do this!
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.
Thank you Carolyn: what a beautiful story❤️❤️
carolyn...AND THE Creator IS Jewish....so it all makes sense.
. 💯💜
I am Jewish and grew up in the Conservative movement transitioning to Reform into my high school years and remain Reform now at 68. I must admit I've never done a Mikvah but found this absolutely fascinating. Just watching and listening to your video brought me a sense of peace. You could feel your spiritual connection to the entire process.
Aww thank you Barbara ❤️
Dear Sara, thank you so much for your open and honest sharing of your life. I grew up in Brooklyn, NY as an Orthodox Muslim women living in adjacent to an Orthodox Jewish Community. It was so wonderful to have people so close to my beliefs in my surroundings, especially the women and marketplaces. I miss the YWHA, our conversions about life and so much more. I now live in the Southwest, things here are quite different our communities are disconnected even within my religion. However, you make me feel the connection ever so much. Thank you, my dear Sister. May G-d bless you and your family for many generations to come. Ahmeen.
So beautiful! Usually on those 4-5 days, on top of having crabby mood, i feel so much guilt for separating myself from my Husband and denying him of physical affection. After hearing you, i realize this is an unselfish act to ourselves which we ladies abosolutely deserve! A day to live for our own!
amino acids ,B complex and niacin helped e so much with mood.
A few days to miss, a few days to long for, absence makes the heart grow fonder, more time to relate without a physical agenda a shoring up or strengthening of the relationship,...the way you look at things I believe affects the end result.
Unclean or not.. those femenine days are painful.. 5 days free from work or having less work, sleeping alone, having a bath like in a spa.. I wish I had this.
Wow this sounds heavenly! Not only the holiness of it all but the peace and quiet and time to simply reflect and relax once a month. I kinda wish we had this in Christianity. ❤
Same, I'm a Christian but the more I learn about Judaism the more I wish I had more beautiful traditions in my faith
@@thatgh0stvariety814 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 RUclips.
@@thatgh0stvariety814 Look into traditional Catholicism or the Eastern Rites. There, you will find a wealth of beautiful and ancient traditions. Protestantism is bare, utilitarianism, especially as practiced in the USA. Read sources by Catholics, not by Protestants.
I agree!!! Imagine having this time away from the house and kids to just be with God and have this time of peace and renewal.
Couldn’t have said it better💗
I’m a Christian so I don’t have a great understanding of so many Jewish customs, but I love this. Thank you for explaining it in such detail. As a mama of four young kiddos, I LOVE the idea of a monthly “spa day”. ❤
This was so lovely! I’m not Jewish but I would love to incorporate this self-care and prayer into my life. This care of the body and soul is so moving to me, too! Thank you for sharing. I love new beginnings. ❤️
I thank God above I found this channel, when my days are bad I just come and watch your videos , and I am filled with God grace and love . Thank you for helping me to remember that God’s light is always around us ! 🎉 many blessings to you and your family ❤
sweet Alllie, May G.od give you only good days:) xoxo thank you for being here!
I am not Jewish, but I truly love and respect the beautiful traditions of your faith. This video was sweet and uplifting as a woman. The affirmations at the end was lovely. Thank you.
I not Jewish, but I truly wish I had a place like this to just focus on myself physically and spiritually.
I am a Protestant from the Philippines, but I find these beautiful practices by the Jewish faith so compelling and sacred. May you be blessed. Thank you for sharing your practice of new beginnings with us. I love new beginnings!
I love new beginnings! Thank you for sharing such a personal and meaningful ritual with those of us who did not understand it completely. The way you invite us into your Orthodox Jewish life, with patience, kindness, and a gentle voice, helps me to feel included, not excluded. I wish everyone could know that our differences are not to be feared, but respected. Have a wonderful week as you minister to your family and patients!
You said it perfectly Lea Kim:) removing misconceptions is the way I think we will bring understanding, respect and love between all of us❤️❤️❤️
I’ve always brushed my teeth 🦷 first then flossed, but I will take you and your friend’s advice. Also, can you please post a link on where I may fins those lovely ❤ pomus stone gloves 🧤?
I have to agree. As I have been watching Sarah’s channel, I enjoy increasing my understanding. Also as we all continue yo understand one another, we decrease judging one another 😊
I love new beginnings! May you have so many more new beginnings (and to anyone reading 📖 this! 🌞😊
I love new beginnings. Thank you for explaining such an important aspect of Judaism with grace and delicacy. I love your beautiful voice. Your saying at the end "you are loved and you are enough just the way you are" is a highlight of my day.
hello my sweet Auntie: I so so appreciate how you felt i was very careful in my explanations : your comment is like a hug from G.od, thank you :) xoxoxo
Yes, doesn't she have the most pleasant and soothing voice, at the same time it has such joy and positivity.
I love new beginnings! I grew up Lutheran with quite a large part of my extended family raised Jewish. I’ve always loved learned about the customs and traitions of other cultures and faiths. I think it’s beautiful and fascinating.
And you know, I think a 30 minutes quiet time bath is something perhaps we ALL should adopt after that cranky time of the month. 😂
I am Catholic and I think this is beautiful and meaningful. As a Christian, this ritual is part of my heritage from the Jewish people before us. I love new beginnings.
As a non Jew, this explanation of the Mikveh was beautiful and very informing. What a wonderful ritual and now I really understand why it's done. Thank you
I am so happy you can now see the Mikveh in a different light ❤️❤️❤️
I love new beginnings! Would you maybe make a video about all the Jewish rituals surrounding a woman's period/menstrual cycle? The guys might want to skip that video but I think some women, especially non-Jewish women, would be interested!
what a great great idea!
@@frumitup I will also love that
Me too!!!
oh i think thats an amazing idea, i also dnt knw much about that time apart from the separate beds 🤷🏽♀️
I've always wondered what women with irregular periods would do? Particularly spotting? Some women can't constantly be on birth control so how do they adapt to these lovely rituals/requirements :)
Wow. I am Zera Yisrael and so thankful for you sharing your journey. It is very beautiful to see your ancient customs. I love how welcoming you are.
I love how so many of the things most of us take for granted are blessed with spiritual meaning and holiness in Judaism. You seem to have such a beautiful life that continually honors G_d.
Like others, I am not Jewish but a Christian Catholic. Your explanations and visual guide were beautifully understood and moved my heart to a deeper and holy understanding of Mikveh. Thank you for sharing such a holy and intimate tradition. May God bless your work abundantly!
I love new beginnings. Sara, I am a Roman Catholic but love to learn about other religions. It helps when taking care of my patients who have different needs. Not only do I learn so much from you, but you do it in an indescribable way. Thank you for taking the time to educate and inspire me. This particular ritual must be such a beautiful experience. Many blessings to you and your beautiful family.❤
Thank you Carol you are so kind 💕💕❤️
I love new beginnings. Many blessings be upon you and your family. Thank you for sharing such wonderous beauty.
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 RUclips.
As a Catholic married to a reformed Jewish man I find your videos so educational and very inspiring. You are such a loving mom, doctor and I have learned so many positive life lessons and habits from you! I thank you so much for the positive motivation. I like that you use this opportunity as a new beginning. At first I really thought this is a view of women being dirty but you explained the status of holiness very well. I also like that you use the Mikva as almost a spa like relaxing experience.
Aww I am so happy the video helped you reconcile with the beauty of the Mikveh and its goal in our spiritual journey as women ❤️
Stay safe and blessed
I love new beginnings….
This was an awesome video! As a Christian, I’ve always loved the Jewish rituals and festivals and I’ve wanted to see the mikvah process for as long as I can remember 😊
Thank you so much for sharing this with us❤️❤️💕💕
We're so glad that this was meaningful for you Sherine! Thank you for being here! 💖
Thank you Sherine for your kind words ❤️
It's really good. Ive grown up aware of the Hasdim and the variety of compliance with Judaic law, but the Mikvah is never talked about, since men mostly do the talking. I had the impression that it was more like a Japanese Bath, thank you for teaching me that Hebraic women do this ritual as a solo.
I'm an Orthodox Christian. This is so wonderful.
I am not Jewish. I’m actually Muslim but I think this is such a beautiful ritual you guys have.
Aww I am so happy you connected with me today! And I am delighted you saw something nice about the Mikveh ❤️ stay safe and blessed 💕
Salam! I'm Muslim too and it reminded me a lot of the ghusl (ritual bath) we take after our cycle and intimacy. Reminds me also so much of a Moroccan Hammam :). Thank you to Sara for a beautiful and educational video!
@@KitchenTornado1 So glad you are here with us! Blessings! 🌺💕🌺
The reverence, love, and happiness in your voice as you describe your beloved rituals 🌊 is palpable. This RUclips subscriber is tremendously happy for you, and touched at your willingness to share something of these very personal elements of your life with us. I hope I may say - without sounding presumptuous - that the benefits of the Mikvah (and indeed your relationship with the Master of the Universe) emanate from you, such that I experience a great sense of peace and calm with each of your videos. How very blessed your husband is to have such a personable, loving and devoted wife - and I join you in praying that your lives are bestowed with every good fortune. 🌷
I love your whole explanation of the ritual mikvah bath. It is such a beautiful part of Judaism. We have a a very similar act in Islam which is a ritual bath after our menstruation is finished but we are able to do it in our own bathrooms. It allows us to be ready to have relations with our husbands again and to pray 🙏
I love new beginnings. Thank you for your channel, Sara! I am not Jewish nor am I particularly religious, but as a healthcare worker I am much better at catering to my Jewish patients’ needs because of the information I learn from your channel. Thank you for all you do! ❤️
I like how much you enjoy being a woman and doing the rituals.
Most of us complain even just to wear a dress.🌺🌺🌺
Thank you 💕
Baruch Hashem! Beautifully presented !
Makes me yearn for those days again! I’m past menopause so don’t need the Mikvah anymore. Your channel is so inspiring! Todah Rabbah! ❤❤❤
A monthly time just for women to decompress and connect to their faith in a visceral way is a beautiful thing. Thank you for this video. Very interesting.
Your voice is so soothing
And so cheery
My husband has a Jewish background and we have learned so much about his heritage together. I’m Catholic but have so much love and respect for our Jewish brothers and sisters. I’m glad I can learn more from you here!
As a Catholic ,all my life , my parents taught me , there would be no Catholics if there was no Jesus. Christians were adopted into the family of God . I respect this fact
Always.
This actually sounds so nice! Almost like a spiritual spa time to yourself to relax and feel like new! Im actually amazed by the jewish way of life, thanks for sharing!
I love new beginnings. I am no longer able to complete this mitzvah due to illness. Having lost the love of my life a few months ago, I remember G-d’s infinite wisdom and the joyous ways He has provided us with ways to share our love with Him.
I am so sorry to hear that Susan. May G.od console you with the mourners of k’lal Israel
Sending you a ginormous hug ❤️
I’m Jewish but haven’t done this. I’m mostly secular although I go to temple sometimes. I had a friend convert and tell me about her experience. It was nice to see your video. I admire Jews who are traditional and more observant. In my thirties, I observed all Shabbats, went to shul ,and was fully observant in a Conservative shul. I was Shomer shabbos but it was hard for me to continue do it without a family. I see the joy it brings in my relatives’ families. Thank you for your videos and sharing the sweetness of another one of our life cycle traditions.
Sorry you're missing out on such a beautiful inheritance you're rightfully entitled to. It's never too late to start again.
Unfortunately and shamefully, knowledge of many Torah-based mitzvot and practices were (illegally) discarded or hidden from NON-Orthodox/Torah-observant/traditional Jews, particularly with the rise of the Reform, Conservative, and Modern Orthodox movements.
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.
Oh, go. I wasn't raised Orthodox, but have gone as an adult before the high holy days. You will LOVE it. It's truly unlike anything else. ❤
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
hello my lovely Devorah, i agree, the Mikveh time is so precious
I absolutely love the ritual from south Africa: beautiful and safe BH :)
shavua tov xoxoxo
@@frumitup tx! Have a wonderful week ahead sending love and prayers from Israel
Thank you for sharing with all of us something so special and intimate. I am Catholic. I truly enjoy watching your videos. You are so open to sharing your world with us you explain everything is such great detail. I love it. I have learned so much of your religion I think it’s beautiful. You are a true inspiration. Thank your for your prayers in every video. May god bless you and your family. ❤️
I love new beginnings! Looking forward for a new member to our family of two! I’m a Christian Orthodox, greetings from Romania!
I'm a "new" Jew .. I just discovered this while researching my family tree. I grew up as a Christian, but I have always felt drawn to Judaism. I am learning so much from watching your channel ☺️
My friend Christina is Jewish. She was very surprised when she learned that. I hope you have a happy path to destiny.
Same here. I have always been drawn to Jewish traditions. My father's family came from Prussia and all the records were destroyed. But it looks like a lot of people with his surname were Jews. My sister also thinks that we have Jewish ancestors, even though we came to this conclusion differently. We now keep the Jewish Sabbath (Shabbat) and are learning how to eat kosher.
Baruch Hashem, me too! My mother told me when I had my girl and I'm already in Israel so now I understand and appreciate why she was so different 🥲
Glad to see I'm not the only raised Christian that feels that Judaism is more fitting.
I grew up with several Jewish friends and even to this day feel that Jewish people are more friendly than Christians.
I know everyone's experiences are different, just how I see it.
@@dianaludwig6861 Hey maybe you may consider taking a dna genealogy test, that way you’ll have certain answer for your ancestry and lineage
You described the beauty of mikveh so well! My first mikveh was 4 years ago and it was the most beautiful experience. That was a new beginning on my journey and I loved it. Thank you for this lovely video.
Awww thank you so much Sara❤️❤️
I floss before brushing. To me it feels better than doing it afterwards. And I'm glad to hear that it's recommended to do it this way.
Wow! So beautiful. As a Catholic woman I wish we we had such a sacred ceremony.
I am a Christian and enjoy learning new Jewish traditions. This seems very special and immersed with Love and holiness.
Thank you for sharing
God bless you
Thank you. The Mikveh is not new idea its from biblical times. Those days women went to rivers and the sea as my grandmother did in her home land. They did not have modern facilities like this. Thanks again and god bless you.
I love new beginnings. I'm not Jewish but this is a beautiful practice. I can see how refreshing it would make one feel.
These videos are so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes. The connection of Jews to God is one of a kind!
I love new beginnings!
As a Catholic, I do not understand why we do not continue to share many of the beautiful Jewish rituals and traditions as our faith stemmed from Judaism. Thank you so much for sharing this ritual and the purpose behind them.
I have never known anyone who feels such peace and joy in their religion. Thank you so much for sharing these beautiful moments with us.
I am a Jewish girl who has not begun going to mikvah yet and needed some clarity. Thank you for making this video
So happy it could help 🥰 Shavua Tov my friend ❤️❤️❤️
I'd love this!! But I'm in my 60 s now and I wouldn't no where to go
This was so lovely and peaceful. Thank you. You’re loved right back. I’m struggling terribly with grief and find your videos calming and informative. I’m not Jewish, but my love of learning drew me to you. Shalom.
I'm Protestant and this ritual was so beautiful to learn about. Just stunning. Thank you.
I have been a wanderer through faith for all my life. I was raised Catholic, but left that faith decades ago, and haven't found a home that fits me yet. Thank you for helping me learn about your world! It is very new to me.
You will never be homeless, for God has you in their hands❤️ you are loved from above, and from here, along your fellow humans hun. Never forget your soul is valued, no matter where you choose to land❤️

I loved the mikvah part of my conversion to Judaism💚It was a powerful experience!
I am so happy you felt the Mikveh as powerful :) May you continue to experience it wth Joy and in health :)
Thank you so much for sharing this intimate glimpse into your Jewish life. Here in south Florida, USA, we have a large Jewish population, and it's nice to have this opportunity to get to know a little about my Jewish neighbors, near and far. Blessings to you and your family.
I wish all women had a peaceful, holy place like this to cleanse, pray and relax. This is beautiful.
Wow this beautiful! I’m not Jewish but I love this custom. It truly seems like self-care with a deeper, religious meaning. Thank you for sharing!
I really do am in awe seeing how careful the Jewish faith is so careful in preserving their bodies in holiness. This is absolutely beautiful.
I love new beginnings! Thanks for shedding light on the ritual of the Mikveh.
I love new beginnings, thank you all for making and sharing this beautiful video!
Hi Sarah Malka, thank you so much for this video! As a sufferer of endometriosis and a scholar of/traveller to many countries where menstruation is considered 'dirty' or 'shameful', I really appreciate your wording - I like how you focus on the spiritual but also mention the practical and medical side of the issue. Language matters! This is an important video for non-Jews (like me) to further our understanding of your practises, I think. Blessings from Australia ❤
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 RUclips.
@@PhilomenaSK thank you for the recommendation of Mr. Schoeman, I will definitely check him out now!
I love new beginnings! Thank you for sharing such a special, holy time with us. It’s my first time on your channel and it’s very nice to meet you, and I’m very happy to learn more of your life and your faith. ❤
I just realized that God gave us these rituals for our own mental health- I’m not Jewish but these customs are so beautiful and I can only imagine the closeness you feel to God in those moments
i’m jewish but unfortunately very far removed from my heritage. watching your videos has not only been extremely enlightening and educational but also comforting and relaxing
Never too late to return😊
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! ❤
I do love new beginnings - very insightful, thank you! 🧡 may you be abundantly blessed!
I love new beginnings!
Thank you so much for sharing such a sacred and special time.
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 ❤
@Dee Bee - What is that?
@@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.
@@deebee9151 - Hmmm… 🤔
Interesting.
Thanks for sharing your traditions with us. Always interesting to see how other people believe. 😊
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!
@@sisterspooky, it is the sacrament we used to call Confession.
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.✌️✌️✌️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
I love new beginnings!!! Thank you So much for sharing this sacred ritual with us!! ❤
I love new beginnings
I love new beginnings. I am a prospective convert to Judaism and I absolutely adore learning all I can about the culture. I currently attend a Reform synagogue but I plan to reach out to the local Chabad this week. Shalom aleichem, thanks so much for this informative video!
DEFINITELY contact Chabad. They'll gently steer you in the right direction. Don't settle for a Reform "conversion!"
@@lubasamoluk8024 Please take your New Testament evangelical bullying and go somewhere else. "Clean out your own house before you tell others to clean their house". You Christians need to clean out your own messy religion and its racist leaders.
@Luba Samoluk Proselytising for Christianity on a channel dedicated to Jewish culture is arrogant, misplaced and unwelcome. Begone.
@@lubasamoluk8024 Stop pushing your religion on other people. Have some respect or GO AWAY
@@yo-yo9663 and no suffering at the hands of Jews right? 😂 I hear they’re having a ball in Palestine. All religion is so toxic for society.
I love new beginnings! I absolutely loved this video and learned so much. What a blessed experience this must be for you and all Jewish women. As a Christian, we do not have anything that compares to this experience. I did, however; feel renewed and ready for the week after taking part in one of our faith’s sacraments this morning at our church service. We also honored those who have went on before us with a remembrance ceremony as part of our service. .I want to thank you so much for sharing your Mikvah visit with us. I found it very meaningful and as I have said before-the more we learn about one another and our beliefs the more we can respect and love one another. And isn’t that what God asks of us? I believe it is. Blessings until next week. I pray you had a blessed Shabbat.
I absolutely agree with you: the more we understand each other the more the door is open for peace and harmony
@@frumitup absolutely! I want you to know that you are loved by me and I pray for you and your family often. Finding your channel has been such a blessing in my life.
Awww thank you so so much ❤️❤️❤️
Baptism by immersion; the concept of being spiritually cleansed and renewed by submerging yourself in the water (either a ceremonial pool or a natural body of water) came from the tradition of the mikveh 😊
@@MoriKitsune true. I guess I should have said I have not experienced anything similar. I was baptized as an infant, as were my children. My husband was baptized by pouring as he has a great fear of water. Sprinkling, pouring and immersion are all acceptable forms of baptism in our denomination.
Fascinating! I love new beginnings! Well done!
Am not a Jew . But I loved the way you explain a religious ritual, making it quite meaningful for all faithful ladies. Would be looking for more of such kind
I love new beginnings. This episode touched me more deeply than I expected. The sense of peace and renewal you described brought tears to my eyes. ❤
Awwww I am happy it touched you ❤️❤️❤️
Wow another beautiful video! I am a frum Jewish women and this video was so insightful and added so much to the mikveh. Thank you!
Awww thank you so so much for your kind words❤️ I’m so happy you are here!
Stay safe and blessed
Shabbat shalom 💕💕💕
I love learning about different religions, cultures and traditions. Loving this channel! Thank you for it
I love new beginnings! This was wonderful. Thank you for the explanation.
I love new beginnings. This was a fascinating and intimate look at an ancient practice, and I was riveted! Religiously, I am pagan, and there is so much more shared between religions than seems to separate them. Sending love and respect from Connecticut.
Thank you Sara for being here! Blessings! 🥰❣🥰
I love new beginnings. I have been watching your channel off and on for several months. Some of the darkest months of my life where I have felt the least loved.
And every time you close with your words of love for each of us, I have felt them and I have cried.
Thank you. Don't ever stop reminding us.
I am at a new beginning. Thank you for this reminder to embrace and enjoy it, even if it wasn't my choice.
Wonderful!
I know you are strong enough to face and succeed in front of these challenges❤️❤️❤️
May G.od bless you
