Let me describe what a men's mikvah looks like for those who never saw one ..(unless you are a pedifile or a serious sexual predator, you are not missing a thing)
Most Men mikvas have a very large room that accommodates approximately 30 men more or less ....
this room has wooden benches with no back against a wall ... the wall has hooks that one places clothing after getting undressed...
On the floor over the tiles there are slimy wooden slats ...they are slimy because of all the previous dippers that came out of the mikvah ...
The room also has approx 6 -10 open showers depending on the mikvah ...
Before one enters the water of the single mikva, one is supposed to shower ... there is no privacy .. not in the room, not in the showers and not in the mikvah ...
The body of water called the mikva can accommodate approx 6 naked men ...
After the shower and after one dips into the mikvah....
you go back to the wooden bench and sit with your wet tushi to start the process of getting dressed ... which depending how old you are ..can take up to 5 minutes ...enough time to contract "hoof and mouth" disease or possibly the Corona ..
While the bench is still wet another naked man will sit with his wet tushi on the seat that you just vacated ...
Now that you get the picture, .... believe me....
I haven't even begun to describe the scene well ... we can now discuss the tweet from @mikvapolitics ..
They are reporting that Kiryas Yoel yes the town where their leader just had the virus and whose wife barely survived ... and is still just recovering ... gave a "fatwa" that the Mikvas can now be opened again ....
Any questions?
Enough said!

DeleteDear sir please post the comment
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing wrong with that kind of mikvah as long as health regulations are followed that means testing by the ministry of health of the water everyone showering before entering the mikvah and only 3 at a time . here in ofakim we are makpid on these things. But most mikvahs in the US do not follow these regulations
ReplyDeleteThe Rebbeh has his own private Mikvah. That should answer some of your questions.
ReplyDeleteYou didn't describe what the water looks like, briny brown or briny grey with unidentified creatures living inside plus breeding the matjas herring inside as in house supply for kiddush.
