A mikvah is traditionally used in Judaism for ritual purification. Individuals typically go into a mikvah after certain events, such as menstruation for women, following childbirth, or before significant life events like marriage. It can also be used for spiritual renewal or conversion to Judaism. The process and timing can vary based on personal, communal, and religious customs.
