What is a mikvah and who is it for?
A MIKVAH is a spiritual ritual bath, whose base is (filtered and chlorinated) natural rainwater. As a woman dips into these “living waters,” she connects with a source of life, purity, and Divine blessings. She also takes her place in an ongoing tradition that has spanned generations and unites with Jewish women around the world and throughout history. Mikvah is customarily experienced in conjunction with the traditional laws of Family Purity, which bring enhanced sanctity to intimate relationships between husband and wife. This private and personal experience is an auspicious time for introspection and prayer. Our Mikvah's design is elegant and luxurious. Our goal is for the experience to be relaxing, revitalizing, and uplifting. Mikvah is, after all, a spa for the soul, where one spiritually rejuvenates .
Our mikvah will give local Jewish community access to this vital mitzvah, the foundation of Jewish family life.
Our Mikvah will be a learning center for many future families, as we have the opportunity to introduce and educate families about this beautiful mitzvah. For many, we are their first introduction to Mikvah and its value to Jewish life. The education they receive here inspires them to incorporate Mikvah in their own Jewish home.
As this project unfolds, it will offer educational opportunities to explore this meaningful ritual. (We're also happy to arrange for individual or small group learning sessions, too!) Please contact us at [email protected] for more information.
