Mikva Tahara began as a no-name initiative nearly 20 years ago. Our founder was an avid member of Rabbi Moshe Aryeh Freund’s inner circle and would visit him frequently in Israel. At some point, Rabbi Freund rallied him to lead a new mikva project for families in Beit Shemesh. From that first mikva flowed all future projects and the official establishment of Mikva Tahara. A contributor to the Beit Shemesh project introduced our founder to the Jewish community leader in Chicco, Ukraine, marking the start of our involvement with holy kehillas worldwide.
