A New Concept for Mikvaos?
January 28th, 2010 PrintA new concept in mikvah is being designed in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn. The multi-million dollar project, called “The Crown Heights Bayit”, will contain a state-of-the-art mikvah combined with a women’s community center featuring a spa, fitness center, Olympic-size pool, café, gift-Judaica shop, daily classes and a playroom with programming for infants.
A flyer promoting the center reads: “Imagine a women’s oasis in Crown Heights. A place where you can pamper your body, enrich your mind, elevate your soul and indulge your children.”
While more and more communities are building new beautiful mikvaos, most, or all, don’t have a women’s community center.
Is this a new model that other Jewish community’s should aspire to?
