TOGETHER WE BUILT IT!
Our new Mikvah is 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.
The Mikvah was built to meet the urgent needs of the Jewish community in Charleston, South Carolina. It is 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).
