In the Brandt Family Mikveh, members of our congregation (and others) can participate in an ancient Jewish tradition in the comfort and warmth of our own synagogue.

Immersion in a mikveh (ritual bath) is used in a variety of ways to mark spiritual transformations and physical transitions and cycles. It is also used to enhance spiritual readiness for Shabbat and major holidays. Immersion in the mikveh is a requirement for converts to Judaism of all ages.

Immersion in the mikveh is a private experience that can be spiritually uplifting and enriching. We encourage members of both sexes to use the Brandt Family Mikveh for both traditional and creative purposes: to mark major life cycle events as well as other personal milestones and transitions.

To prepare for the mikveh experience, one needs to be physically clean and remove any barriers that would interfere with the mikveh waters touching one's body.
