Our Vision

Our vision is to MAINTAIN a new mikvah that connects our community, is a place to fulfill ritual commandments and revitalize our connection to Judaism.

A mikvah is a gathering of “living” water (think rain and snow!) that is, according to Jewish law, collected and then funneled, into an immersion pool.  Immersion dates to the establishment of Judaism, thousands of years ago, in the Garden of Eden.

Under Orthodox mikvah construction authority, Rabbi Eliyahu Stern and Chabad mikvah construction authority, Rabbi Gershon Grossbaum MOED is building kosher water collection pools (boros) that will flow into immersion pools.

MOED is built and operated to meet the traditional ritual and spiritual needs of the entire Jewish community,.

In addition to the spiritual experience for women, there are spaces specific for learning and small gatherings.  There is a specific changing area for men and a men’s immersion pool. There is also a keilim mikvah, designated for the immersion of cooking utensils and vessels in compliance with the laws of kashrut.

“The mikvah builds our people. It is the underpinning of the strength of our community.”
