Missed mikveh during Iran-Israel war

July 1, 2025

Question

I was supposed to go to the mikve over a week ago but due to the ongoing sirens and bombing attacks I postponed going and then forgot to go. Do I still go to the mikve as my period is due in 5 days?

Thank you for your help.

Answer

Thank you for reaching out.

We encourage you to go to mikvah so that you can resume intimacy with your husband, even if just for a few days before your next period.

Please feel free to get back to us with any further questions.

B'Hatzlacha!
