[Avodah] Mikvah for Geirus/Nidah

[Daniel Eidensohn]

Yevamos(45b):The slave of R. Hiyya b. Ammi once made a certain 
idolatress bathe for a matrimonial purpose.28 Said R. Joseph: I could 
declare her to be a legitimate Jewess29 and her daughter30 to be of 
legitimate birth.31 In her case, in accordance with the view of R. Assi; 
for R. Assi said, 'Did she not bathe for the purpose of her 
menstruation'?32 In the case of her daughter, because when an idolater 
or a slave has intercourse with a daughter of an Israelite, the child 
[born of such a union] is legitimate.3
