Will this be rest by way of water? Is humanity washed of its sin? Or is this a prototype for what will be the tradition of purification by "mikvah?" The well of Miriam. The priestly cleansing of Aaron; the cleansing of the priest on Yom Kippur. The rabbinic practices of women's menstrual cleansing, or men and women's cleansing after any issue -- or before Shabbat?... Or will these be like the waters of the Torah(Ps. 104, "the wide sea," which for the Midrash on Psalms 104 is the sea of Torah)? Mon, 26 Sep 2016 16:48:00 -0400
