What is the purpose of a Mikvah?
The Mikvah is a pool of rainwater that transports a person back to the very origins of spiritual purity. It is the mystical key to a heavenly marriage because its properties are magnetic, creating an exhilarating attraction between man and woman. Those who know its 3000-year-old secrets have mastered the foundation for a wonderful marriage. If you are married or considering that significant step, the Mikvah provides you with spiritual insurance for lifelong happiness.
The mitzvah of Mikvah is an essential component of a fulfilling marriage based on the Laws of Family Purity. The Talmud states that when a community has a need for both a mikvah and a synagogue, their first obligation is to see to it that a Kosher mikvah is built.
Our Mikvah is designed to provide women in the greater Detroit community with a unique and invigorating Mikvah experience. It also serves as an educational resource providing tours for schools, synagogues and other interested groups.
