Blessed are you, Eternal God, ruler of the universe, who sanctifies us through mitzvot and has enjoined us concerning immersion.
Barukh atah Adonay Eloheynu melekh ha-olam, asher kidshanu b’mitzvotav v’tzivanu al ha-t’vilah.
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה אֲדֹנָי אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, שֶׁהֶחֱיָנוּ וְקִיְּמָנוּ וְהִגִּיעָנוּ לַזְּמָן הַזֶּה

The Mikvah
We are a community mikvah where women, men and people of all genders and ages can celebrate life milestones and explore their spirituality.
Providing an inviting, sacred space for those observing the mitzvah of monthly immersion and creating a welcoming space for converts to Judaism are only a few of the ways the community will enjoy the Mikvah. It fosters new and creative uses by inspiring local Rabbis to utilize immersion for healing rituals, spiritual wholeness, and life cycle events for all ages.
