| As an unmarried, not traditionally observant woman, I had never actually been to a mikva and always assumed my first visit would be on the eve of my wedding. |
| By the time I had made all the purchases I needed to make, the sun was almost setting, Shabbat had nearly arrived, and the mikva had closed. |
| Chabad and AYS partnered to rebuild the mikva, located behind A. Y. Synagogue, in order to make it a state-of-the-art mikva and bring its level of Kashrut to the highest. |
| A special blessing is pronounced before entering the mikva, emphasizing the holy nature of this precept. |
