The Mikvah

A dream come true for our community.

After years of planning and anticipation, the Space & Treasure Coasts will soon have its own women's mikvah. We are ready to finish it, with your support.

Building a mikvah is a complicated, expensive project. The kosher mikvah contains about 250 gallons of pure rainwater, along with a comprehensive filtration system. It involves a team of professionals, hundreds of hours of supervision by Rabbinical experts, and meticulous attention to myriad details.

The combination of architectural marvel and lavish extravagance are truly a tribute to the power of the Jewish woman, who brings holiness into her home by using the mikvah.

the need

Some 10,000+ Jews live in Brevard and Indian River counties without a local Mikvah.

Presently the closest Mikvah is 90 miles to the north, or some 120 miles south — making its practice extremely difficult for the local Jewish women.

The new Mikvah will service the Jewish community of Brevard and Indian River counties, and will provide Jewish women a first time opportunity to observe the mitzvah of Taharat Hamishpacha, family purity, within a reasonable distance from their homes.

Three thresholds

From the moment you arrive to the moment you immerse.

1
Arrival

A private entry and lounge, unhurried and discreet.

2
Preparation

Private rooms in stone and light, built for dignity.

3
Immersion

250 gallons of rainwater beneath a canopy of light.

On Chabad’s new 8-acre campus in Viera, construction is already underway on a state-of-the-art Mikvah — where sacred tradition and modern elegance converge.

Relaxing, rejuvenating and uplifting: the Mikvah opens a connection to eternal Jewish spirituality, and gives the gift of purity and transcendence to the individual, the community, and the Jewish people as a whole.

about mikvah

MORE ESSENTIAL THAN A SYNAGOGUE

The Mikvah is one of the most important and vital
institutions for any community.

Our Sages teach us that building a Mikvah is more important than erecting a Synagogue. For thousands of years, Jews have turned to the Mikvah for renewal and purification. The practices involved in the mitzvah of Taharat Hamishpacha, family purity, add unmatched dimensions of sanctity, holiness, and unity to the marital relationship.

Being that water is the primary source of all living things, it has the power to restore and replenish life. Symbolically, immersion in the mikvah is like a return to the womb, and immersion represents a spiritual rebirth.

By immersing in the Mikvah, a woman links herself to an ongoing tradition that has spanned generations, to Jewish women around the world and throughout time.
