insight daf(19) from Rabbi Elefant

our gemara says arch of a wave is pasul for mikva the Stiepler we see from our gemara that a pile of snowflakes is a pasul mikva b/c the top snowflakes are not connected to bottom ones like arch of a wave(daf yomi digest halacha highlight)

insight on yesterdays daf(19) from Rabbi Elefant
