Rav Nosson: Meaning of Mikveh More about Mikveh: If the main thing is an internal movement to teshuva etc, why does one need the water and if not, why do we need the internal avodah? Rav Tzaddok: How the four animal with one siman allude to the four nations the Jewish people endured exile in Komarna: Vayidom Ahaorn, a simple level and a deep one; One needs to experience pain in the wake of hardship and only then to go back to dveykus
