  • Question

What is the difference between ‘The Husks of Nogah’ and the other impure ‘Husks’ (shells, or external layers)?
The Alter Rebbe in his book of Tanya, explains that everything in this world which is not kedushah—holiness (as explained in the concept of ‘influence of holiness’), is actually ‘kelipah’ – impure husk of shell.

  • Answer
There are two aspects to going to the Mikveh: 1. Immersion in accordance with the ruling of Ezra HaSofer, which is done in case there was nocturnal emission, and is therefore very important. 2. Immersion for the sake of additional purity, and for this purpose if you have difficulty in going, you can say Mishnayot from Seder Taharot.
