COMMUNITY NEWS, CHESSED, EVENTS & ANNOUNCEMENTS:

 

TEANECK MIKVAH UPDATE : We have begun construction of phase two at the Mikvah and we hope to have the entire Mikvah project completed by the spring.  The response to our new Mikvah has been overwhelmingly positive and encouraging.  However, we recognize that we still have issues that must be addressed.  Specifically, thank G-d the Mikvah has been very busy, and consequently during the summer, when zman for tevillah is late and therefore the mikvah hours are shorter, women find themselves waiting for a room.  We hope that next summer when the facility size is doubled, we will not be faced with this issue. In the interim, we encourage all women to try to prepare as much as possible at home to reduce the waiting time for themselves and others at the mikvah.  As always, thank you for your input, cooperation and continued support.
