Mikva Before Yom Kippur - Reasons and Ramifications

this torah class is brought to you by torahanytime.com okay good morning um as yom kippur is coming so i want to speak about an indian nagya yom kippur and that is the menagerie to be toi val before yamakipuram in the shogunate foreign it's brought down that a person could be taiva and get malcus whenever they want the minute used to be that erbium kipper people were not only immersed in the mikvah they'd also receive malchus provided that it's before night and says you do not make a bracha on the tv let's see why would you think you do make abraham rama says you only have to be terrible one time he says rama you do not say vedoi and the reason for the triva says rama is because of tomas kerry that means if a person emitted kerry whether relation or that caused the person to have a certain tumor which you want to be metah before the makkah therefore even a person doesn't go doesn't go to the mikvah but pouring nine cab of water also is effective okay so we're we're getting a picture over here according to rama darma learns the reason for this minhag which is codified as halacha is to be metahera person therefore if it's to be metahere three times you're tara after the first time only one time video what are you saying for has nothing to do with the trilla you're doing it for tara and there are four nine cab we know if somebody has nine cab of water poured on them it also works i have a friend of mine sent me uh an email janka blade freund sent me an email that nine cops today would be a shower for three minutes would be nine cups again that's not but okay then the rama says someone who became an avel between rosh hashanah and yom kippur they're allowed to go to the mikvah aerobium kipper that's how important it is why because yum kippur's mavato shiva is shiva my father became an oval between um even though the minogue is not to be roy hates for 30 days to be last mitzvah let's see the mission of and then we're going to speak out something very interesting um you could be taiva says meshabura the mahabharat over here was very concise because before he says you could be title at any time he should first say the minogue is to be taebel says in the shambhura who is tybel even young boys even girls once their bane mitzvah they're taiwan so the mishaburu says not only are mentaiville erym kippur women are also taigo we'll have to we'll have to see about that before the night says the mischievous you should be taught about before men because during minha you're misvada and that's the minogue so that should be closer to yom kippur you don't make a bracha why not because it's filo is only a minhag without vidoy as opposed to sesameshaburo those who are caused customarily say vida at the time of the twila because of kerry the rama said the reason for the trill is because of kerry points out the mishna brewer therefore it's good enough just to have the water poured on you want to be toggled one time and therefore you don't need redoi and therefore a woman who had relations within three days needs to clean herself out in her internals with hot water before the tv because otherwise she might expel the kerry and she'll become tami again but unless says the shibura she's anticipating becoming pregnant and there's a shash of zara but again this is all assuming the reason for the tv is for kerry if that's the case you only need to do it once you only need vidoy and if that's the case even a woman who had relations would also have to go to the mikvah however the mission pro says some say this is not the reason some season some say the reason for the tv is because of chuva it's not to become tahar it's for chuva if it's for truva you should immerse three times dunk three times and the right cache also says so it says even according to the opinion that the reason for the tv is for kerry what if a person knows they're not tami says in this shabura they should still be taiba even if they were rosh hashanah and they did not see kerry why apparently there's another reason to be terrible aside from taharah it's for tsuba now the the rama said pouring nine kabal water also helps but it helps if let's say that's causes utsar for example somebody has a ear infection or for whatever reason a person is is a highlight they can't go to the mikvah nine cave would work with the avid okay now sone who's another betenrashanyam kippur even on airbnb kipper as allowed to go to the mikvah even in hot shouldn't water person take the advantage of the nine cobb since he's been a novel it's so apparently it's such a mitzvah that it's okay now regarding otsugawa video for a minute that the the mashable brought opinion that some say it's because of now if it's because of chuba maybe then you should say vidoi says that the that the ta's writes so look in the prema goddamn that be careful if you're going to say vidoy don't say hashem's name the giloi raj because the person's head is not covered they can't say the shame hashem also if the water is clear and there's no separation between the heart and the irva it's also us hashem's name or if you're going to be seeing someone else's arva so rather what you should do is if you want to be i'd say in a video you just say asham without saying hashem's name is that is it no the video in the mikvah you just say is those who say we are not careful and they just say whatever is printed and therefore better not to say anything than get into a doubt better to say the veto at the time of minha so this gave us a little of a flavor that there is a very large discussion what is the reason for the tavilan erbium kipper is it to be meta or someone from their tomah or just like we find there's a concept the gemara says maybe there's a indian to matter oneself before yamakipuram special feeling that you're supposed to do on your airbnb to be matari well there's that guy no i'm not i'm talking about villa trilla so the question is what's the reason for the tavila is it to purify yourself or is it for chuvas you say what's in afghanistan there are many in afghanistan number one and there's a a new safer relatively new safer such as takana written by rabbi daniel travis who's a rush carla in eretz israel he's a friend of mine and he says one after meena would be about chuva in general let's say somebody grew up not observant maybe they even ate non-kosher food and now they became about shiva is there a reason for them to go to the mikvah so he says like this if the reason to go to the mikvah arabium keepers for tahara then there's no reason for a baal tuba to go to the mikvah but if the reason to go to the mikvah erbium kippur is part of the chuva process is going to the mikvah maybe a baalshuva should go to the mikvah why and the guy is in the cabin on himself the all-terrain slice so if there's if we go around yom kippur for suva so maybe the batshuba should go to the mikvah when he becomes as we're going to see many posts come hold they should it's brought in the rama however if the reason to go to the mikveh is for purity then the no there would be no reason for the batshuba to go to make fun now i'm not right yeah of course everybody's jewish everyone go to mexico what we have many manchester different aspects in the stages spain that we discussed that in order to i of fulfill the i mean the cayenne chuva that we talked about spillwater no nobody it's not one of the biblical requirements of of chuva but nevertheless it's a minogue the question is where did the minute come from does it is it rooted in purifying yourself from a impurity or is it rooted in repentance in other words there's a concept that about shiva becomes like a new creation a bariakhada and there's an idea that when a person is in the water a human being cannot survive in water human being can only survive where there's oxygen when you go under the water and then you come out you were basically in a in a realm which cut off life and now you're coming out into the world where you're able to live again it's part of the recreation of one's self in other words again it's not a fear of direisa but it's it's and those who are taught three times it's minor those who say vidoy it's a menage to us and if you can't go to the mikvah you should pour a nine calf you want to hear something amazing why nine kav so there's a there's a rule from the gemara nine cab could remove tomas kerry but let's think for a moment there what's what measurement is nine calves how many eggs in a log there's six eggs in a lug how many look in a cave they're four lug in a cup so how many eggs in a calve 24. okay that's not a lot i mean three minutes in nine caves in nine calf how many eggs are there 216. by the way 216 is is the big number it's this 372's we once had a shirt on the number 216. they're in precious bashallah you have letter pasta 72 letter pasta 72 live presents from which is created the 72 letter name of hashem the concept of 216 is the full combination of the three large shameless of hashem 2 16. so nine cave is 216 egg the rem is is arya shag milo yiro and the lion roars who's not afraid arya is ganache 216. so i was thinking incredibly this year we have an tremendous um condensed form of purity that hashem is offering us why is that because we have three 72-hour holy periods this month we have three days rosh hashanah three days first day of sukis three days last day of sukkah 72 72 72 216. that's right that's what the time cypher says when comes everyone's going to keep it to the young tif even in artistra so roughly how many ounces have we converted 216 eggs in volume ounces i don't know i have no ramosama on the ounces uh over here right now you know i saw in one safe it's three minutes i've heard a little bit longer but uh most people take longer than a three minute shower there is a idea that if you're gonna use the shower what the water has to pour on you for three minutes the water has to put on you i mean you can't just stick your hand in your head your entire body should be under the the stream you know and there's a concept you put your arms like this but again if the if the ritual bath is available one should try to take advantage of it that's the the minute that's codified fine but anyway according to the marie vail he learns the reason to be taught an erbium kipper is for tahara it has no shaikhas to chuva three times is not necessary and therefore you should not do so according to the revival because it's all for a tara now interestingly the rush in the 8th parac in the yuma brings the medicine that women should be together young kipper now the question is according to the rush is it for tahara or is it for chuva or i would say it's for neither because similar to malachi ashares you wouldn't say go to the mikvah to be like malacca sharks who don't have tomas kerry i mean obviously not it seems then you know there's a third aspect of mikvah there's a concept of mikla that mikvah brings elevation not only to purify you from a state of impurity but it brings you up a level for example when aguero becomes yes when when again becomes a yidd he's not going to the mikveh because he's tame he's going to the mikvah because you're elevating his status or when you're toba you buy you buy a pot that was owned by a gentile the pot is in tame it's it's you're elevating the status so it could be there's a third aspect of mikvah that mikvah doesn't only purify it brings something into a higher status that's probably what the rush means you want to be similar to malachi as you're being elevated from the level of adam right again if a person just goes to the mikvah it's only a trapping it's only an externality the yeah it's a minha it's a minute that's based on the idea of tara but according to marie vial certainly the reason for mikvah is tahara and not shiva if you look in other story of nasa now in paraklas he brings a story about a woman that was captured by gayam and they redeemed her and they were and then she was toe bell why why did they tell her to be tobal because all those days that she was among the she was eating their food and drinking their food and therefore she has to go to the mikvah to become tahar yeah well just because he what is the fact that she ate and drank their food and drink after going to the mikvah apparently somehow when a person eats or consumes a non-kosher beverage it requires a trilla and therefore it seems like there's a specific indian of tv if someone was and he brings here from abstrambuk that somebody who ate mahala is asuras even by accident should be toggled on the mikvah says to say for tanya rabbasi tanya abbas was written by one of the italian um cadmium he quotes obviously and from here he derives this the same way a person is high of literature certainly rashan and yam kippur which are you may mish but and a person should be meta themselves um so from here we see the reasoning for mikvah is it's part of the shuba process the rikanti writes but feel is not the truth is he says as soon as a person has thoughts of chuba in their mind they become inside the gummer they don't have to go to the mikvah but it's a nice idea to distress yourself meaning the way the reconti understands it is that going to the mikvah is not comfortable some people are like a fish in water i am very discomforted when water gets in my ears and knows it's extremely i'm claustrophobic i'm very uncomfortable and that's the point says ricanti part of the tuba process is you did something wrong you know suffer a little bit at least you know you're better off suffering with water going going in your ears then uh then something else now the mario brings the proof that the purpose of the tv is for suva because he says the minute is men women young men young women bar mitzvah mitzvah they all go to the mikveh so obviously it has nothing to do with kerry it's because of chuva the so here it's um over here even though the safer is trying to bring out that that for the chuva process there is a concept of going to the mikvah but the actual terminology that the ritual uses is it's means when you want to elevate your status when you when you have a cli and you bring it from the ownership of a non-jew to a jew agar so too the baal shubha is now emerging from the category of poe recoil to saunas macabre so you go to the mikvah by uh you go to mikvah and that elevates your status by the way when a woman a woman who goes to the mikvah on a monthly basis she's not going to the mikveh for tahara the reason why um they're going when a woman is a nida it's not because of tama not because of tama it's because of isr and you go the woman goes to the mikvah not to be metallic herself to matter herself to elevate her status and therefore the tour writes a moomer is not taivo but the priesthood brings to the marshall the menu giza muma shaves off their hair and his toygul and there are ma paskins that a mumma who comes back to the fold needs tavilah and the tazo surpassing that's why that someone who's about tuva should go to the mikvah the radwa is he talks about the muranos but i need his tummy right anita is also tummy but it has no effect on us because we're not she two answers it's not because we she can't bring a carbon um anita this man has that and there was uh there was a greater process uh there's monetization with this it's true she's tame but but um but that tommy doesn't make her awesome right she's not also because of tommy neither is the being the tuma is not uh it's not my cave so to speak let's say the clothing of anita that she's not currently wearing rolando touch it what do you mean but she's tummy so what's the number in here in her clothing no the hakkas are not because of tomato they're because of issa there are vase rights the muranos they don't go to the mikvah um because it's a mitzvah it's part of um the chuva process the lord garami bali shikha did not need fila but we see from many of these mufashim that the tv on air of yom kippur is not for tara but rather it's for chuva so based on this it would come out that someone who becomes about should immerse themselves so that's another nafkamina if it's because of tomah bao shiva will not have to go to mekkah if it's because of if it's because excuse me of tomorrow about you when i have to go to mikvah if it's because of shiva the baal shiva should go to the mikvah here's another one after meena women and children should they go to the mikvah if the tree was because of tara then a woman on isha basula or a young girl no reason to go to mikvah if the two is because of chuva what's the difference between a man and a woman now la maisa the minogue that women of especially of lithuanian descent do not go to the mecca of arabium kippur there are many places that women do go to the makvavyam kippur the i am women go to the mikvah arabian kipper however only married women and not single women um they're various men hug him there are many different menhagen many different minhagem it's daft sing all that that's young single that that don't but apparently there is a concept you know in other words at first glance someone said well after women go to no if it's because of chuva there is a there is a basis everyone should have their personal menu i'll tell you another and after me now and this is clear this we already mentioned how many times do you immerse if it's because of tahara the marival said one time three times ishtas however according to the mariel that the reason for the trilla is because of chuba then you take a dunk three times three times in tanakh it says that hashem is the mikveh israel also the rikanti said it's because of tsar so the more the more you dunk the more water the more water in your ear canals you know fine you can't put plugs in there but if a person has uh problems with their ears they should they should ask their local orthodox fine the marijuana fight the maxis ashako says also the reason to dunk three times is futsar and therefore one side here's another nafkamina can the water be warm and comfortable or should it be because it should be or should be cold so if it's for tahara why can't it be warm if it's for chuva maybe it's better if they go to a cold mikvah go to the po what the polar bear club yeah fine here's another knife kamina should you say vidoy again according to marie val that is for tara no reason to say vido according to the mario that's for chuba yes there is a reason to say vidoy another nascumina could you use nine cabin if it's because of tahara nine cabin would work if it's for chuva nine calvin don't work nine calvin is only specific for tomas carrie another nafkamina let's say i already went to the mikvah or rosh hashanah should i go again every m kipper if it's for tahara well if i know i'm still tara then i'm tall i would have to go when you know you know yeah if you don't know you don't know this day and age you never know what you're in touch with yeah um but if it's for chuva you gotta go again okay so there are various navigation basically we have in mind both reasons and uh again the both reasons are for tara somebody wants a person to try to go into the the yum tif there and there is a reason of chuva and if it's for chuba maybe there are other requirements maybe there's a veto requirement three times and if it's for chuba then there is a concept of some level of discomfort but be it as it may the icker mikvah is mikveh israel hashem god is the mikvah of claudius israel now we know that a mikvah has as we mentioned 40 saw so so let's think for a minute if there's six eggs in a lug and four lug in a cav and six kavanasa so six cabinets times 40. so how many eggs are in a mikvah a mikveh's [Applause] is 144 right so again they're four they're six eggs in a lug four lug in a cup six cabinet sauce so how many eggs 144 carbon a saw again there's six bayer in a lug four log and a cab six cab in a saw that's 144 1284 right 144 eggs in a saw six times of course right 144 eggs in a sauce so 40 times 144 is the mixture 776 5760 right pen paper let's do it this way okay let's get out the uh so good 100 is basically 144 times 24 right 24 or 40 times 40 times 40. thank you so 18 which is 5 years ago so if they're 40 saw in a mikvah and they're 144 maya 144 times 40 is 57. 557.60 but how many look in the saw so let's think for a moment therefore lug in a cave six kavanasa so it's 24 24 look in a cell what's 24 times 40 right 960. 960. that's 936 in your pomegranate no 9 9 60. they're 960 look they're 960 lug in a mikvah so we say there how many days in between reshades 40 days how many hours in the day 24. the 960 hours of from to yom kippur is the mikvah is the the 960 look in the mikvah of the yamana that from here we see as a jew passes through these 40 days it's impossible that they don't receive even if they're not with the program against their will they will receive a certain level of taharah just as the mikvah has 960 look the ame tara the 40 days that much of anyone up to they're 960 hours so you'll say well wait a second but i'm a barrier and a barrier is not even bot doll but elf that's the beverly says you shall me [Applause] 960. so two things realize you're in the mikvah realize you're in the purification process and this is a min hug that is codified in shokanak and cement sif dalid and we discussed a number of the nafcaminos are the two reasons of going to the mikvah erbium kipper no it just means if a barrier fell into a mixture taruba is 960 times that amount it would become tahan okay rabbi sai have a great day you've just experienced
