Description

• Explore the most important debates that shape how mikvahs are
built today:
• The most futuristic debates Can a mikvah be built on
the International Space Station? May metals from Mars
be used to build a mikvah?
• The oldest debate on record, between Yitzchak Avinu and
the shepherds of Gerar - 3,600 years ago, the question
was: how can you tell if a mikvah's water comes from a
nearby river or from some other source?
• The most controversial debate - 400 years ago, in Rovigo,
Italy, the brothers Consiglio argued how to fill the mikvah in
their yard; and before the debate was over, rabbis from
across the world, from Eretz Yisrael to Prague, had
authored hundreds of pages in defense of each side!
This sefer explores how these debates (and others) shape our
understanding of the nine basic rules for building a mikvah; how
they inspire and enlighten us about the importance of purity and
immersion; and how they enhance our relationship with Hashem.
