Jewish community officials in the former Soviet Union hailed the publication of a book about mikvah use written entirely in Russian.
Entitled Mayim Chayim, or “Living Waters,” and written by Rabbi Michael and Sima Koritz, the book presents the laws of family purity in an easy to understand manner, said Chabad-Lubavitch Rabbi Boruch Gorin, editor of Moscow’s Lechaim Publishing House.
Gorin’s organization, a unit of the Federation of Jewish Community of the Former Soviet Union, joined with New York’s F.R.E.E. Publishing House to release the volume.
The advantage is that “this is a halachic book written in Russia,” said Gorin. Typically, “books of this nature are written in Yiddish or Hebrew first, and then translated into Russian.”
