Full episode00:41:16

About this shiur & source links
This week offers a thoughtful exploration of the laws and traditions surrounding mikvah immersion for men. We delve into a range of source texts—from the enactments of Takanas Ezra through the Rishonim's responsa and into the great Chassidic (and Misnagdic!) masters. We explore the concept of immersion, the benefits of Mikvah, when and how to immerse, and the practical kavanos to accompany the experience. Preparing these shiurim was truly eye-opening for me so I hope you enjoy at least as much as I did!
This series, "A Day in the Life of a Yid", explores the Practical Laws and Deeper Dimensions of daily Avodas Hashem.
