A Woman's Mitzvah

A very clear and important book... that covers all aspects of these laws from beginning to end. Both the unfamiliar and the teacher of these laws will benefit greatly from learning and teaching from this book. The fact that is has been written by a woman for women makes it into an even more useful book that will penetrate both the mind and heart of those who delve into it. I heartfully recommend this book. --Rav Noah Weinberg, Rosh HaYeshivah. Aish HaTorah

This book is based on classes I gave many years ago under the auspices of The Aish HaTorah Semicha Program [and] written by a woman with years of experience both in teaching brides as well as training other instructors... May this work help to encourage and assist women in the observance of Taharas HaMishpachah. --Rav Yitzchak Berkovits, Founder and head of The Jerusalem Kollel, former Menahel Ruchani of Aish HaTorah Yeshivah
