This episode is sponsored by Marisa Lewitan in memory of Penina Yalta bas Yosef Yitzchak. May her neshama have an aliya!

In this foundational episode, Mrs. Rivky Kaplan gives us a glimpse into an era thousands of years ago, when the laws of tumah and tahara took center stage of Jewish life. 

We look at the Torah's definition for the tumah of niddah and zavah and what the purification process looked like for each. Understanding the complexities inherent in these categories of tumah and the practical implications they had on women's lives will lay the groundwork for appreciating the development of these halachos as they are practiced today.
