THE CHARLESTON MIKVAH
A Spa for the Soul
ABOUT
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.
We are currently building a new Mikvah that will meet the urgent needs of the Jewish community in Charleston, South Carolina. It is slated for completion around March 2025, be'ezrat Hashem.
This Mikvah 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).
