Living Niddah presents a new approach in the genre of taharat ha-mishpachah by considering niddah in the context of broader Jewish learning, history, and communal life. While niddah is central to a Jewish woman's life, too often we teach it as an isolated mitzvah, missing the broader context, leaving women with an understanding of how to observe the mitzvah but with very limited knowledge of its deeper meaning.

In this volume, Ariella Zirkind – experienced kallah teacher and rebbetzin – shows how niddah is woven into the fabric of Jewish life and other mitzvot. Gently following the familiar structure of kallah classes, she combines a passion for halachic integrity with an equal commitment to women’s health and inspired Jewish observance. It addresses the emotions, philosophy, and psychology surrounding the practice of niddah, and it includes extensive primary sources in Hebrew and English so it can be used for casual reading or in-depth study. 

This book is for every Jewish woman, kallah teacher, Rebbetzin, and mother. Wherever you are in life: single, married, pre- or post-menopausal, observant or just curious, everyone has a place in this learning.
