Why this project? 

I always wanted to take on more mitzvahs. When I learned there were three mitzvahs unique to women—candle lighting, taking challah (the portion of bread given to the priests in the time of the Temple) and the traditional laws of family purity—I was excited to have my place, doing these mitzvahs; mikvah has become a central part of my life and marriage.
