The Eden Center’s blog brings women’s voices to the fore discussing mikveh, women’s health, intimacy and more.
We love to raise awareness and present various voices on topics related to The Eden Center mission. Below are an array of blogs on mikveh, sexuality, marriage, women’s health, body image, parenting, and Taharat Hamishpacha.
This blog invites readers to submit their experience with mikveh and the laws of niddah in order to raise awareness to the range of feelings and experiences in the community. The Eden Center does not endorse positions stated in blogs, but allows authors’ voices to be heard on this platform. For blogs dealing with halakhic topics, we encourage each person to consult their own halakhic authority for clarification.
We value your feedback and submissions.
