Women's Mikvah
Since the mid 1990’s our community has been blessed to have beautiful mikvahs adjacent to the shul complex (accessible from Whipple St.). Our mikvahs are constructed according to the highest halachic standards, following the bor al gabbai bor design, under the direction of Rabbi Baruch Hertz.

**IMPORTANT Updates:**
**Pesach Appointment Notice: Online bookings for the end of Pesach, yom tov April 19th & 20th, will CLOSE three hours before Shabbos/yom tov on Friday April 18th!
**Please note that the Bnei Ruven women's mikvah has reopened for daily appointments (and the Jarlath St. mikvah is now closed).
MIKVAH ACCESS/PARKING: Please utilize the women's mikvah rear entrance accessible via the alley from either Albany Ave. or Rosemont Ave. Due to construction, there is only one parking spot available in back of Bnei Ruven--this spot is adjacent to both the Bnei Ruven building and the newly constructed LGHS addition (see photo of parking spot below).
**If the spot behind Bnei Ruven is unavailable, you may try to find an available spot behind Christina's Cleaners or behind Factory Muffler!**
Please enter the actual mikvah via the doorway and covered tunnel located in the new addition building (see photo of tunnel entrance below). Follow the tunnel--over the stairs and around the corner--to the mikvah entrance door on the left.
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​To accommodate everyone and to ensure privacy, staggered half-hour appointments are available.
