Positive Mitzvah 100: Impurity after childbirth.
Leviticus 12:2 "When a woman conceives and gives birth..."

This impurity applies to a woman after she has given birth.

We are all fragments of greater souls, and those souls fragments of even more lofty ones, and so on with those -- until we all link back to the one primordial soul: The soul of Adam.

None of us is complete. No one can stand on his or her own. What one is lacking the other fulfills, where one excels, another is wanting. Only together can we find oneness in ourselves. Only together can we be a fit vessel for the One Above to be revealed.
