i spent some time searching in the sefer טהרת מים that u mentioned. the author was obviously brilliant. he discusses it in  מהדורא תניינא pages קפ-קפג.  he is referring to a rubber cloth. which he brings opinions that it may be mekabel tumah like a בגד. he is not referring to a piece of rubber which cant be used as a cloth. there is no way that would be considered דבר המקבל טומאה.

Not sure what lenses you were using to read the טהרת מים. Here is a screenshot of page קפב with highlights added.



I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

thats exactly what i was reading
nothing that u highlighted says anything different,
if u are referring to his mention of shoes, he is trying to say that a beged of rubber would be mekabel tumah because it is a material used in shoes
i attached an image of the same page highlighting all the terminology he uses, which is only terminology related to begadim

ETA: Here are some links to מראי מקומות he references there: https://chabadlibrary.org/books/maharshab/shut/3/35.htm

Why not use an intro inflatable pool? $30-40. Over 250 gallons. Has a drain hole in the bottom with a removable plug. Dig a depression and let the pool sag into it. Fill both with water. Similar to the divrei Yechezkel with the hole in the barrel.

If I'd have time I'd write it and use a pseudonym (or is it nom de plume?) that I used back in the 1980s when I wrote הערות - but back in those days it was Morristown's הערות התמימים ואנ"ש.

Back in the day it was a weekly publication published by the bochurim of the yeshiva in Morristown with short comments and questions (sometimes with a back and forth from different authors spanning several weeks) on the Rebbe's שיחות and מאמרים. With occasional entries on other שיחות and מאמרים as well as הלכה ומנהג. No lengthy pilpulim were allowed, there was an annual publication of the Yeshiva for those.

The eBay link I posted above was for $25 (in Detroit). I've found something in NJ on eBay for around $60.

Or one can search here.

Can doesn’t mean should. Mikvaos are not the most sanitary place in ordinary times ;)

Or for a more advanced solution: http://www.mikveh-malchut.co.il/


I've been talking to them (boy is there a mentality gap). Apparently their prices start at around ILS 38,000 for a small mikvah, ILS 77,000 for a בור ע"ג בור mikva (200cm x 190cm). In addition, need to pay airfare and accommodations for 3 people to come from EY to install, as well as ILS 2500 per workday.

Can be installed above ground or in-ground. Need a smooth concrete surface that can carry the weight, located in a place where מי גשמים can properly get to the mikvah, and water, sewer and electric lines.

What's this better than the one for 14900 nis? And the 14900 nis you don't have to pay accommodation and shipping they do everything here. What a joke.

I had my mikva today after 53 days.

A real mikvah with social distance and maximum sanitary measures approved by the health department
