In this powerful and enlightening episode of Mom’s Talk Sex, Mor Yelvington is joined by Aliza Krivisky, co-director of a Chabad house in Jericho, NY, for an open-hearted conversation about family purity, intimacy in marriage, and how ancient Jewish practices can reignite connection in modern relationships.
Family Purity and the Path to Deeper Intimacy
Aliza shares her personal journey from not growing up with these traditions to becoming an advocate for them, highlighting how the rhythmic approach of family purity—known in Hebrew as taharat hamishpacha—transforms her marriage. They discuss what happens during periods of abstinence, how couples can foster intimacy without touch, and why this practice has been life-changing for many.
Whether you're married, curious about Jewish mysticism, or just looking to reignite your connection, this episode offers a beautiful, grounded, and deeply spiritual perspective on sex, love, and commitment.

The article explores how the Jewish practice of family purity, called taharat ha-mishpacha, is seen as a way to build emotional closeness and respect in relationships by creating cycles of connection and separation. It reminded me of a psychology class discussion about boundaries in relationships and how they affect trust. I used Professional data science project writers while organizing relationship survey data in assignments. It shows that structure and boundaries can shape stronger emotional understanding in couples.
