pesuja

Pesuja is a traditional Jewish ritual bath, also known as a mikveh, that is performed before certain life events, such as the birth of a child, the onset of menstruation, or the end of a period of impurity. The purpose of the pesuja is to purify the body and soul, and to prepare the individual for the upcoming event. The ritual involves immersing the body in a mikveh, which is a body of water that is at least 40 se'ah in volume, and reciting specific prayers and blessings. The mikveh is typically filled with water that has been blessed and sanctified, and it is often located in a synagogue or other Jewish community center. The pesuja is an important part of Jewish religious practice, and it is observed by both men and women. The ritual is typically performed by a rabbi or other qualified individual, and it is often accompanied by a meal or other celebration. The pesuja is a significant and meaningful event in the Jewish calendar, and it is an opportunity for individuals to reflect on their faith and their connection to the Jewish community.
