Mikvah
Standing at the door of the mikvah can feel like standing at the edge of a vast, painful silence.
It is incredibly heavy to bring a heart full of disappointment to a space that is often associated with new beginnings and hope.
When your body feels like it has let you down, stepping into those waters can feel less like a spiritual reset and more like a confrontation with what is missing.
If you are struggling to find your way back to that space tonight, or any night, please know:
• Your anger and your hurt are allowed to exist, even in holy spaces.
• You do not have to "fix" your feelings before you immerse.
• It is okay if the only prayer you have right now is a question.
