Beth ImmanuelMikvah Project
About the Mikvah Project
One of the most critical cornerstones of any Jewish community is the Mikvah, with its importance valued even above the acquisition of a sacred Torah scroll.
The Mikvah is a necessary component of family purity, allowing for growth of the community. It is also an important resource for personal devotion and spiritual connection to our Creator. A Mikvah allows for both the initiation of new disciples as well as completion of conversion to Judaism.
With the growth of our Beth Immanuel community comes a critical responsibility to address its spiritual needs. A life of family purity cannot exist without the water of a Mikvah. Yet, like many other communities, Beth Immanuel is living without access to this source of life. Your generous donation to the Beth Immanuel Mikvah Campaign will help us meet that obligation, now and for generations to come.
