A ritual belongs here when its cited article describes a Jewish rite of cleansing. It excludes other traditions' ablutions. Examples in the atlas include The Scapegoat Rite of Yom Kippur, Parah Adumah (The Red Heifer) and Mikveh Immersion. Each of these rites is regulated in the Torah or the Talmud and each has a role in the Temple or the community.Browse BySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)Browse ByAll Jewish Purification RitesJewish Purification Rites3 entriesJewish Purification RitesFilter Results3 entriesAttested InAllMishnah (2)FrequencyAllAnnual (1)As the occasion requires (2)ObligationAllObligatory on those who meet its conditions (1)Scholarly StandingAllA standard analytic category in the study of religion (3)Social FormAllPerformed alone (1)PractitionerAllAll adherents of the tradition (1)Clergy or ordained officiants (2)Native To RegionAllAncient Israel (3)TraditionAllBeta Israel (1)Breslov Hasidism (1)Chabad-Lubavitch (1)Conservative Judaism (1)Haredi Judaism (1)Hasidic Judaism (1)Modern Orthodox Judaism (1)Orthodox Judaism (1)Originated InAllAncient Israel (1)The Levant (2)Kind of ritualAllJewish Purification Rites (3)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 3Mikveh ImmersionPurification Rituals13 linksParah Adumah (The Red Heifer)Purification Rituals9 linksThe Scapegoat Rite of Yom KippurPurification Rituals15 linksSourcesMikveh (Wikipedia)Has Member: Mikveh Immersion, Introduction, sentences 1-2Quote, Has Member: Mikveh Immersion, Introduction, sentences 1-2A mikveh (pronounced [/ˈmik.ve/]; Hebrew: מִקְוֶא, romanized: miqveʾ, lit.
