As our community continues to grow, we have identified the need for three important institutions: Woman’s Mikvah, Men’s Mikvah and a Vessel Mikvah (Keilim).

Most Jews see the synagogue as the central institution in Jewish life, but Jewish law states that constructing a Mikvah takes precedence. Both a synagogue and a Torah scroll, Judaism’s most venerated treasure, may be sold to raise funds for the building of a Mikvah.

But the Sages didn’t stop with necessity. They wanted the Mikvah to be cherished by the women who use it and by the community that supports it. They wanted the Mikvah to be welcoming, peaceful and beautiful. This is so for a simple reason: we can learn Torah at home, make a minyan on the train and give tzedaka at work. But to build a future generation with holiness and love, we need a Mikvah.

We are working with community donors to build a state-of-the-art facility, and facilitate the observance of this spiritual and timeless mitzvah in a modern spa like environment. With the incredible growth of our community comes an awesome responsibility to address its spiritual needs. Your generous donation to the Mikvah Campaign will help us meet that sacred obligation, now and for generations to come.
