About Mikva mayim chaim
As women, we know that going to the mikvah isn’t a regular mitzvah; it’s the foundation of our Jewish home, the essence of our spiritual power. It’s a mitzvah that women have sacrificed for throughout the ages, again and again.
Is there any mitzvah more deserving of beauty?
This was the driving force behind the Mayim Chaim mikvah of Ramat Beit Shemesh. We set out not just to provide a desperately-needed new mikvah to meet the explosive growth of the Ramat Beit Shemesh community, but to provide the optimal environment to perform this special mitzvah.
To build a place just for you. The place where you can best experience rejuvenation
The result? The most beautiful, user friendly and hygienic mikvah in Israel, with two floors of unparalleled comfort, glistening with the finest finish and loaded with the latest technology. A mikvah that brings the concept of hiddur mitzvah to a whole new level.
Optimal Aesthetics and Luxury
At Mikvah Mayim Chaim, women enjoy a spa-like experience with the highest standards in luxury and aesthetics. Every detail and feature of the mikvah – from the marble floors to the advanced technology embedded in every aspect of the experience – was carefully designed to provide a place to relax and refocus. To switch off from everyday worries and immerse in full-sensory serenity and return fully rejuvenated.
Optimal Taharah and Kedushah
Our Mikvah was built with the highest standards of halachic hiddur, under the guidance of local rabbanim and the Eida Charedis, so thata woman can feel confident that she will perform this mitzvah with the maximum level of purity.
At the same time, we believe that every woman is the owner of her mitzvah, and we afford each woman the respect to choose what level of halachic stringency she desires. The mikvah attendant’s examination process is thus highly personalized, with each woman checked at the level she feels comfortable with, according to the guidance of her personal rabbi.
This is why Mikvah Mayim Chayim has invested greatly in ensuring that each woman who comes to the mikvah maintains the dignity of her privacy. Features such as our advanced booking system, spaced-out room assignments, special door-locking system and more, ensure that your mikvah experience will be your special, private monthly time.
