Dear Mikvah User,
Do you wish your mikvah experience felt calmer and less stressful or overwhelming?
Do anxiety or OCD tendencies make mikvah preparations especially challenging or cause them to take much longer than expected?
You’ve come to the right place. On this page, you will find support, guidance, and practical tips to help ease mikvah preparations and the chafifa process.
Hashem does not want us to suffer while fulfilling His mitzvos. Halacha takes the individual into account and is sensitive to personal challenges and circumstances, enabling mitzvos to be fulfilled with greater simcha and menuchas hanefesh.
We hope these resources will do just that for you—helping to make your mikvah experience more positive, calm, and enjoyable, the way it is meant to be.
