Tziva's profile
I am Tziva, Torah Tziva Lanu.
I am not a writer.
I am a right wing orthodox womyn. A staunch feminist and an observant Jewish person of faith. You can't hide the fact that women are better than men from me. Even if I didn't have my own eyes and ears, halacha says so.
I have suffered infertility and miscarriages but also know the joy of childbirth and raising babies.
I belong nowhere. I fit in no nitch and I don't try to either. Sometimes nowhere is lonely but it is always my own.
Tziva - my introduction

Hello, my name is Tziva. I have to admit that the whole mikvah process is a mixed bag for me. I enjoy the results. The actual dunking I find a spiritual experience. The prep I dread, it is stressful and tiring. It brings out OCD tendancies in me. I could spend a whole day sloughing off dead skin, cleaning my belly button and ear ring holes and recutting fingernails until they hurt. By the time I leave for the mikvah I am exausted. I need to find a way to put some perspective into my preperations and maybe even a touch of spirituality.
