DRS. MIRIAM & FELIX GLAUBACH MIKVAH
A Spa for the Soul
ABOUT
The Drs. Miriam & Felix Glaubach Mikvah is in the final stage of construction and is scheduled to begin operating around May 2025!
Our Mikvah will be a 21st-century, state-of-the-art creation rooted in ancient tradition—a spa for the soul designed to serve the Jewish community of today.
This new Mikvah is being built to meet the urgent needs of the Jewish community in Charleston, South Carolina. It will be a stunning facility where women from throughout the community and beyond can fulfill this most special and beautiful mitzvah. It will also serve to promote the observance of the laws of family purity (Taharat Hamishpacha).
