About this organization
Mission
To promote the practice of traditional Jewish ritual baths through development of ritual bath facilities and public awareness.
About
Mikvah USA was founded in 2004 by Rabbi Yitzchok Bistritzky shlit”a, a renowned talmid chacham and community activist. Rabbi Bistritzky was pained at the knowledge that there are countless Jews in North America who forego taharah and a broader connection to Torah simply because they lack a proper local mikvah. Our rabbinical leaders throughout the generations have stressed how important it is for every Jewish community to have a mikvah, and how great the responsibility is upon each Jew to assist in this effort. Even if one has a beautiful mikvah in their own community, we share the responsibility to ensure that Jews in other communities do as well. With incredible siyatta dishmaya, Rabbi Bistritzky’s sincere grassroots efforts have blossomed into the powerhouse that is Mikvah USA today. Mikvah USA is a professionally structured organization with a Board of Directors, project managers, halachic consultants, construction consultants, fundraising staff, donor base, speakers, literature and everything else necessary to bring a dream mikvah to fruition and spread taharah observance. Year after year, Mikvah USA successfully completes several mikvah projects, and launches and/or progresses multiple others. The mission will only be complete when every Jew in North America will find it easy and appealing to adhere to the highest level of taharah.
