Baruch Hashem, this past week we commemorated the Yahrzeit of Rebbetzin Chayah Mushkah (pictured above). She was a spiritual giant & indomitable advocate of Torah values who stood up against hate & bigotry and shepherded the evolution and revolution of Chabad-Lubavitch across Europe and then the United States.
And the best part? She did it all while remaining completely behind the scenes.
My own daughter carries her first name, “Chayah”, which means “life” and she is exactly the type of heroine we so desperately need now.
The difference between terrorists and heroes is that terrorists glorify death and heroes pursue life. Look around on social media and you’ll see this manifested daily. Which is why we need to do whatever we can to be like the Rebbetzin, to fight darkness with light and hate with goodness, even if that’s done behind the scenes. Actually, ESPECIALLY if it’s done behind the scenes. For it is the daily battles and victories we achieve in our private lives and our private minds that make us heroes.
In this spirit, I’d like to promote the Mitzvah of going to the Mikvah.
This is a Mitzvah that celebrates life. This is a Mitzvah that is done in privacy. And this is a Mitzvah cherished by those in whose merit we have always been worthy of redemption — the righteous women.
If you’re married and haven’t experienced this Spa for the Soul, do it now.If you’re older and never had the chance to go to Mikvah, do it now. And if you’re curious to explore how Mikvah can supercharge your marriage, bring blessings into your home, and ensure your children are born and live the best life they can, email me now. I can host an online class catered just for you and people like you.
My Number One, Favorite story of the Rebbetzin’s husband has to do with this special Mitzvah. So, please, help me promote this for her sake and for the sake of the brave women (and men) around the world who need salvation, protection, and redemption.

Rabbi Welton
