Must a women go to the Mikveh after her period?
by Conservative Rabbi Daniel Kohn. [7]http://www.jewish.com/askarabbi/askarabbi/askr875.htm In recent years, there has been some increase in interest among younger Reform and Reconstructionist Jews in the area of toharat ha’mishpacha, family purity. While until recently the Reform movement had been fairly hostile to both the rituals of and philosophy behind toharat ha’mishpacha, the last couple of decades have seen a slow but steady turn towards traditional practices, often with new interpretations. Some of the younger American Reform rabbis are in fact moving for the Reform movement to officially reclaim this practice in an official manner.
