Abstract

From the ritual of immersion in the mikvah to the rigorous process of cleaning for Pesach, cleaning and cleansing are an integral part of observant Jewish women's life. Writer and artist Rachel Lichtenstein discusses how women have responded to their obligations of faith—and how these rituals are adapting to modern life.
