MELVILLE, New York — We recently wrote a trivia question about a mikveh strike, wherein some women are refusing to go to the mikveh at the end of their monthly period in protest of an Orthodox man who refuses to grant his wife a divorce. Because a man cannot engage in marital relations with his wife until she has participated in this purification ritual, the strikers hope to encourage men to bring pressure on the divorce-refusing husband. The use of the mikveh has been a part of Jewish tradition at least since the first century BCE. The mikveh bath must be filled with “living waters,” such as rainwater or water from a flowing spring. Tap water is not acceptable on its own, but some allow the use of tap water in addition to living water if there is an insufficient quantity of living water. Recently, a Rabbi facing a shortage of living water devised what plan to assure sufficient water for the local mikveh?
