Mikvah

Mikvah
The Mikvah facility is located in a private enclosed area at the rear of the Synagogue building, and has a preparation area and waiting room, and a large well-maintained mikvah. The mikvah is available seven days a week, by appointment, for women or men, for all ritual immersions. Call 964-1928 for an appointment. The phone is monitored frequently, and trained volunteers assist if she is not available.

The mikvah, which has been renovated to meet the strictest requirements of halacha, Jewish law, serves the entire community, not just the membership of the Synagogue. The Stamford Community Mikvah Committee actively works to fund and promote improvements to the mikvah, and a significant expansion and improvement project is currently planned. The Mikvah Committee also acts as a community liaison, and sends out educational and informational mailings. A library of books, pamphlets and videos is available for lending to the interested.

The Mikvah Committee has several fund-raising projects in the works, including Holiday projects and sales of holiday foods.  The committee's chairperson is: Maria Reicin.

Mikvah Capital Project
As you know from Rabbi Cohen's letter of Nov. 17, 2008, our synagogue is in the process of building a new mikvah for the Stamford Community. We have been actively fundraising for the new mikvah and we are sincerely grateful for all those who have already contributed. We are very close to reaching our fundraising goal, but there is still opportunity to contribute to this very exciting project. Please help us reach our goal before Dec. 31st.
