A Woman's Mitzvah [Hardcover]

An education in Jewish law and philosophy has always been both an obligation and a pleasure for Jewish women.

A Woman's Mitzvah was written with both beginning and advanced "students" of the Laws of Family Purity in mind. In addition, A Woman's Mitzvah was written to provide teachers of this subject with a well-sourced, readable guidebook.

Based on the lectures of Rav Yitzchak Berkovits, A Woman's Mitzvah provides a clear and pleasingly written explanation of the principles, details and practical application of the Laws of Family Purity. The reader will also find in the footnotes sources for each halachah (Jewish law) as well as much interesting background and historical information. Special attention has been given to distinguish between what is halachah, what is a minhag(custom), and what is a chumrah(a stringency beyond the halachic requirement).
