Demystifying Hilchos Niddah: Hefsek Tahara & Shivah Nikiyim

This episode is sponsored by Chavi Russ in honor of a refuah shelaima for Moshe Aryeh Leib ben Bracha



This episode explores the original sources for the hefsek tahara and the bedikos that are performed during the seven clean days leading up to immersion in the mikvah. We look at the roots of these halachos in the purification processes performed by both the niddah and the zavah during the temple era and how they both impact halacha as we practice it today.
