Our Vision

A beautiful women’s mikveh, inside the existing building of Chabad Israel Center.

A mikveh is the foundation of a Jewish home.

For twenty years, Chabad Israel Center has been a warm home for Jewish families in Boca Raton. Now we are building something our community has long needed: a beautiful women’s mikveh, right inside our existing building.

It will be a private, peaceful place, with two preparation rooms, a calm waiting room and an immersion pool built with care to the highest standards of Jewish law. Every woman who comes will feel welcome, at ease and at home.

A mikveh brings holiness to every family it serves, and to their children and grandchildren after them. We invite you to be our partner in this sacred work.

With love and gratitude,
Rabbi Naftaly & Rebbetzin Henya Hertzel

Our inspiration

“There is surely no need to point out to you the particular importance of the Mikveh, which has a priority even over a Shul. For, insofar as a Shul is concerned, Jews can Daven in congregation even in a private home, whereas a Mikveh is absolutely essential, and one can simply not overestimate its importance.”

THE LUBAVITCHER REBBE

From a letter, 26 Sivan 5742 (1982)

 

“The Mikve is the foundation of Jewish family life, ensuring purity and sanctity of the family structure and the continuity of future generations.”
