Jewish Family Life

Taharat Hamishpacha

Taharat hamishpacha, the laws of family purity, are the heart of why Mikvah Be'er Yeshaya is being built. Every donation supports the families who depend on these laws for their Jewish home life.

What Is Taharat Hamishpacha?

Taharat hamishpacha, or family purity, is a body of Jewish law that governs the physical relationship between husband and wife. It involves a monthly cycle of separation and reunion, with the wife immersing in a mikvah before resuming physical relations. These laws are observed by Orthodox and traditional Jewish families, and many couples describe the practice as one of the most meaningful and renewing aspects of their marriage.

Why Access Matters

Taharah observance is directly tied to access. DeLand families currently travel 35+ minutes to the nearest mikvah, and availability is limited. When a beautiful, welcoming, local mikvah exists, more families observe with confidence and consistency. This is why building a mikvah is one of the highest-priority tzedakah projects a Jewish community can undertake.
