Public Speaker


​Spotting or staining does not “automatically” render a woman niddah; it depends on where the blood is coming from. While this distinction may be irrelevant to medical doctors, who are focused on ​pathology and disease, a Bodeket can determine the source of bleeding and provide a report for your Rav, so a proper and informed halachic decision can be made.
Now you can be examined confidentially and discreetly by Channie Akerman, who was trained by the original Bodeket in Israel. Endorsed by prominent Rabbonim and numerous authors of sefarim on Taharat Hamishpacha, the exam can sometimes prevent unnecessary separation time and trips to the mikvah.
Special attention and guidance is also given to newlyweds, who are often unsure at this special time in their lives. Practical, hands-on instruction provided in how to make bedikot and similar issues.
