A mikveh is a ritual bath in Judaism used for spiritual purification. It is typically filled with natural water, such as rainwater or spring water, and is an essential part of various religious practices. The mikveh is often used by women after menstruation or childbirth, as well as by individuals converting to Judaism. In addition to its use for personal purification, a mikveh can also be used for other rituals, such as the immersion of utensils before their first use. The practice emphasizes the importance of cleanliness and spiritual readiness in the Jewish faith, connecting individuals to their community and traditions.
