our very existence, our very being something else...
Remembering the words of Chekhov that "everything about man should be beautiful" and looking at the Jews, you keep feeling that the Jews seemingly have been deliberately bred as antipode of a man, about whom everything is ugly: the face, the clothes, the soul and the thoughts. So I think that the famous Jewish uncleanliness and smell of kitchens and Jewish settlements, of which always came an unbearable smell of filth, pigwashes, onion and garlic, have a very ancient tradition. A friend of mine, a great lover of women, even once told me that Jewish women are really terrible, terrible stink - they emit inexpressible sickening stench. So that he later learned to detect the Jews based on this scent and tried to avoid contact with them - every time dealing with the Jews made him feel physically sick.
Rozanov has rightly remarked that the mikveh is a very important element of Jewish nationalism. After all, it allows all Jews to join and to plunge in their own filth. And if a Jew accustomed to without disgust paddle in the sticky mire of sweat, urine and filth of all their female relatives, for all the rest he can easily forgive a Jew. Through the mikveh lies the unity of the Jews through the filth and stench, introduction to the national body. Actually, this is the construction of Jewish nationalism - the unity in filth, and the evils of the common crimes. And perhaps that is why Judaism is so attractive to all kinds of perverts and degenerates, even of gentile origin. Not surprisingly, the Jewish sect of the Essenes died out because of mikvehs and unsanitary.
