A [[mikveh]] ([[Hebrew]]: מִקְוָה "gathering" [of water]) or '''mikvah''' is a bathing pool in which a person immerses themself as part of the cleansing process (''tevilah'' "immersion") to ritual purity in [[Judaism]] and [[Messianic Judaism]]. Natural bodies of ''moving'' water such as oceans and rivers, rainwater-replenished wells and spring-fed lakes are also considered to be mikvehs. However, problems of accessibility, weather and lack of privacy have led to the construction of man-made pools.<ref>Slonim, Rivkah.
