Last Chance! Together Let’s Build The New NE Philly Mikvah!
Our community in Northeast Philadelphia is running a once in a lifetime campaign, to build a new and much needed mikvah in our community!
We have been looking for a new location for years, and with Hashem’s help, have finally found a property that is central and safe for our community mikvah for decades to come, אי”ה.
We would greatly appreciate it if you can give generously to this campaign to help us reach our personal goal.

In the zechus of your giving to this important tzedakah may you and your family see much Bracha and Hatzlacha in everything you do!

In 1982, the orthodox Jewish community of Northeast Philadelphia built its first mikvah on the basement floor of a single-family home in the Rhawnhurst neighborhood. This modest facility was to serve as the foundation of Jewish life for our fledgling community.
40 years later, in 2023, the Northeast Jewish community is flourishing. We seek to construct a centrally-located, state-of-the-art mikvah in Northeast Philadelphia that accommodates our community’s incredible growth, now and for the future.
Our Current Mikvah…
• Situated on a busy street in an unsafe urban area.
• Located on the periphery of the Jewish community, nearly 1-2 miles from most homes.
• Due to the location, many women feel unsafe attending mikvah at night, and some do not go at all.
• Requires major exterior and interior renovations that are cost prohibitive.
• Too small to accommodate our growing community.
Our Vision…
• A beautiful and tastefully designed 4,000 sq. ft. facility in the heart of the Jewish community.
• Seven preparation rooms, one women’s mikvah, one men’s mikvah, and a keilim mikvah.
• A safe facility with security systems, lighting, and a dedicated parking lot.
Next Steps…
• A beautiful and centrally-located property has been purchased.
• Preliminary site design is complete.
• Mikvah USA has come on board as our partner in this exciting initiative.
• To date, we have raised $1,000,000 of our total budget.
• Our goal is to raise another $1,000,000 by July 2023 in order to break ground on our project.

I remember the old timers telling me about having a guard dog and security officer standing in front of the Mikvah. I’m not sure if the neighborhood is still dangerous and rough, but nonetheless best of luck on this fantastic endeavor.
