Waters of Purity and Unity – Mikveh Before Dawn on Shavuos

Iyar – Waters of Purity and Unity. Immersing in a Mikveh before dawn on Shavuos is a treasured Minhag (custom). Rabbi Nachman explains that through counting the Omer, our yearnings become redirected and clarified, culminating with the powerful effect of Mikveh. This not only brings us closer to Hashem, it brings us closer to one another as well. Text: Likutey Halakhos, Yoreh Deah 1 – Hilkhos Dam 1:11. Speaker: Rabbi Nasan Maimon.
