Interestingly Common Saychel, there is an underlying connection between the use of orange soap in mikvas and the term ‘rishus cold selter,’ albeit in a symbolic sense. Both concepts, in their own contexts, revolve around the themes of cleansing, purification, and transformation.
In the case of mikvas, orange soap is utilized as a means to cleanse and purify individuals who seek spiritual renewal through ritual immersion. The color orange often carries connotations of transformation and rejuvenation. The act of immersing oneself in the mikvah’s waters, accompanied by the use of orange soap, is a symbolic journey towards spiritual purity and rebirth.
On the other hand, the term ‘rishus cold selter,’ originating from a viral video, humorously captures the idea of desiring a profoundly cold selter (carbonated water) that goes beyond mere coldness. This playful exaggeration of coldness reflects the intensity of the individual’s desire for refreshment and the transformative power of the selter’s chilling effect.
In a metaphorical sense, the journey of dipping into the mikvah’s waters with orange soap can be likened to the desire for a ‘rishus cold selter.’ Both symbolize a yearning for a transformative experience—one spiritual, and the other sensory. They both highlight the human inclination to seek out moments of purification, renewal, and even humor in our pursuit of deeper meanings.
While the connection between these concepts may not be immediately apparent, it’s fascinating to consider how diverse aspects of life can share common threads when viewed through the lens of human aspirations and symbolism.
