About
Welcome to our David Edelstein Mikvah Project.
Envision…
A space that is serene, welcoming, and personal.
A space that allows a woman to fully embrace her identity.
A space where she can reflect upon the dreams she has for herself and her family.
A space where everyone can learn about the deep spirituality and beauty Judaism brings to marriage.
A space for the Jewish woman to discover spiritual purity for herself and her family through its living waters.
With your help, this vision will be a reality!
Our goal is to spiritually enrich our Jewish community by building a state-of-the-art Mikvah where every Jewish woman will feel welcome, comfortable and encouraged to attend. The Mikvah facility will offer the best in comfort, hygiene, aesthetics, and privacy. It will be fully equipped with all the supplies needed for preparation for immersion.
We welcome you to join us in establishing our new Mikvah facility which will be open and inviting to all members of our local Jewish community. Through this project, we endeavor to revive an awareness of the extraordinary importance of the Mikvah. Our hope is to enable women to become more spiritually empowered and fulfilled. Marriages and families will be nourished and enhanced through this mitzvah.
The total cost of the project is estimated at $360,000. We have dedicated the corner room of our building which has it's own entrance to serve as the location of The David Edelstein Mikvah. We will go through a stage of architectural design, zoning and permits. We will then begin the building phase and conclude with a grand opening.
We are thankful to the A-lmighty for giving us the opportunity to take part in this momentous project that will impact our Jewish community just as it has throughout the generations for thousands of years. We welcome you to join us in this mitzvah.

A Modern Link to an Ageless Tradition
Central to Jewish life are the laws of Taharat Hamishpacha - Family Purity, of which immersion in a Mikvah is an integral part. It is these laws that sustained Jewish families through both times of turbulence and peace. It is so important, that a community is obligated to build a Mikvah before a Synagogue.
The laws of Taharat Hamishpachah are the mystical key to a heavenly marriage. Its properties are magnetic, creating an exhilarating attraction between man and woman. Immersion in the Mikvah is the essential component of a fulfilling marriage based on the Laws of Family Purity.
The Mikvah is a mystical pool of rainwater that transports a person back to the very origins of spiritual purity.
Those who know its 2000-year-old secrets have mastered the foundation for a wonderful marriage.
If you are married or considering that significant step, the Mikvah provides you with spiritual support for lifelong happiness.
Our Mikvah serves women in a sensitive fashion that enhances the meaning of this ritual and encourages continued participation. It enables each woman to discover the spiritual mystery in this life-fulfilling Mitzvah in a tranquil and supportive setting. Exciting women's programming centered on Mikvah is provided to educate, inform, and inspire women.
