And the one that really gets me. That the Golders Green mikvah (and
others<BR>run by similar bodies) insist on using the same criteria for tzeis vis
a vis<BR>allowing immersion as for Shabbas - even when they don't for taanis
tzibbur.<BR>As in, I have sat in the aforementioned mikvah on Shiva Aser B'Tamuz
and the<BR>fast is deemed by all London authorities to go out at around 10.20pm,
and<BR>yet they wouldn't allow the first immersion until 10.36pm!<BR><BR>Given
that the chashash (and it is only a d'rabbanan chashash at most)<BR>relates to
the possibility of a husband and wife having relations before<BR>tzeis (and then
after that the woman finding out she was tamei, and being<BR>soser the shiva
nekiim), and once a woman immerses she still has to get out<BR>of the mikvah,
get dressed and go home - why oh why they have to keep all of<BR>us waiting.....

<DIV>Rather reminds one of the sons of Eli, doesn't it?</DIV>

<DIV>You should find out who is the rav or posek the mikva is using as its
authority, and go have a chat with him. You are only one of numerous women
affected by the mikva's policy, but I guarantee that you are the most
qualified of all of them to have that little chat.....</DIV>

<DIV>I want to know what he answers you, and also, if you can discreetly snap it
with your cellphone, I want to see a picture of the expression on his face when
he realizes that the disgruntled yiddene in his office is no mean talmid
chacham...!</DIV>
