Halachic Certification

Our Mikvah was prepared and filled under the authority of Rabbi Yitzchok Trieger, the Chief Halachic Consultant of The Mikvah Tahara Association .

Rabbi Trieger is an internationally acclaimed authority on the numerous complexities and nuances of building and maintaining a kosher mikva. He flies all over the world to oversee the halachic details of countless mikva projects, and he was intimately involved with all the details pertaining to the mikva in Beverly Hills.

Our mikvah is acceptable for use by both non-Chabad and Chabad women, as it was constructed with both a "Bor Min Hatzad" and "Bor Al Gabei Bor" in consultation with expert halakhic guidance.

All ongoing Halachic issues and Beverly Hills mikva policies are determined and decided upon by Rabbi Pini Dunner, in consultation with other poskim and mikva experts.

OUR STORY

In March 2022, Young Israel of North Beverly Hills opened the first ever mikvah in Beverly Hills. The Beverly Hills mikvah was constructed under the auspices of Rabbi Pini Dunner, and with the philanthropic support of the Hertz family, Ezra and Lauren Kest, George and Irina Schaeffer, and Lee Samson, in memory of his late wife Anne a”h.

The concrete for the Beverly Hills mikvah was initially poured in 2006, but it was not until 2014 that work began on completing the mikvah. The first general contractor was Louis Krokover of Newday Construction. However, construction proceeded slowly and was halted in 2018.

The following year, construction recommenced, this time using general contractor David Asulin of Mr Build Construction. David brought the project to its completion in early 2022. Throughout the mikvah construction project, from the very beginning until completion, our guide for all the design and engineering was architect Richard Ramer.

 

Our mikvah facility includes a gorgeous modern 8’ x 8’ mikvah pool and two luxurious spa-like prep rooms, with ample space and amenities for all the necessary preparations. The pool itself features stunning design, including a live water feature.

We ensure a relaxing experience by providing ambient music in the pool and prep rooms. Each prep room is prepared with bathrobes, fresh terrycloth towels and comfortable slippers, as well as all the necessary prep items.

There is also a comfortable waiting room, fully equipped with high-speed WIFI. However, there is not much waiting, as the mikvah appointment system we use is the user-friendly Mikvah Cloud app, which allows the women to reserve their prep rooms ahead of time and which can customize their visit according to a range of specific needs. 

We ensure that there is no pressure to rush your mikvah visit, as we allow plenty of time for each woman to fully prepare and immerse in the mikvah without time constraints. As there are only two prep rooms, we ensure full privacy and comfort while taking part in the important mitzvah of mikvah immersion.

There is always a mikvah attendant on site who is trained to answer any questions you may have, and who will make sure that each immersion is done according to the halacha.

The Story of How We Filled Our Mikvah Using Snow From Utah

The official figure for average annual rainfall in Los Angeles is 14.5 inches, but in reality we have not hit that target in 6 out of the past 10 years.

 

Which is why, this past Sunday afternoon, I packed up a car with 400 onion sacks and 7 shovels, and drove for almost 12 hours to Aspen Ridge at Powder Mountain, in Eden, Utah, where early on Monday morning I met with a team of workers, along with a rabbinic mikvah expert who had flown in from New York, to harvest snow at an 8770-foot (2763 meter) elevation on the side of the mountain.
