You have deftly encapsulated here an organic truth of being embodied. Just like Qohelet/Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 tells us, to every thing there is a season, & a time to every purpose under the Heaven, & you have beautifully illustrated that here, both with your scholarship & with your experience. Miqveh is an integral part of my work. Next time someone tells me that I should write Sifrei whilst b'niddah, I'll have a more eloquent way of putting the issue (pun intended) to them :) BS”D

Thank you; I will really take this to heart! Your ability to plunge into some of the most often-cited anti-feminist laws of Torah and bring back out common sense and wisdom is, well, it's a gift for you and a pleasure for your reader.
