#niddah

I’ve addressed this previously so I’m gonna link you to a couple of posts, but I did want to make a few notes about some of your underlying assumptions here as well.

First: This is NOT TMI! It's Torah. It's holy. It's not even a personal question.

Second: A woman is neither less holy nor impure nor dirty during niddah. It also has nothing to do with her mental stability (and a person who is less mentally stable is not a less holy person by virtue of their mental state).

This is the teaching of the leper the teaching of afflicted skin this is the teaching of illness.

This is the teaching of the impure man the ill man the bleeding woman.

Mod here. More “liberal” is pretty vague. I’ll open this post anyone else who thinks they might fit within the term “liberal,” but would ask that respondents specify within. Explaining you or your community’s relationship with Torah law and halacha may also help anon understand how communities come to a variety of practices.

I’m expecting responses from this post to respondents from Reform/Liberal, Conservative/Masorti Olami, and Reconstructionist/Reconstructing communities, but expect that the term may also encompass some Open Orthodox and Left-Wing Modern Orthodox community members, as well as some members of Sephardic, Bukharian, and other extra-denominational communities who personally identify as having liberal practices.

Mod here. I’m restricting this question to FORs for which niddah is relevant. Respondents may consider discussing whether and how niddah is relevant for someone who is not married, and/or directing anon to more detailed resources. It may also be helpful to include a FOR with your information and advice.
