Dear Friends,

We hope this email finds you safe and healthy as we enter the Yomim Noraim.

The West Orange Mikvah plays a unique role in our community. Just as we daven during the Yamim Noraim as one large community, so too our entire community shares one mikvah that serves the needs of men, women, and those converting to Judaism. The West Orange Mikvah is not affiliated with any shul in the community. This means we must fundraise on our own.

We are so grateful to the community for helping us close our budget shortfall during our 2024 Spring Membership Drive.

This Elul, an anonymous generous donor has pledged to MATCH donations made during Elul and the Yomim Noraim. Your donation will yield 2x the funds and will help the mikvah begin this 5784 on solid financial footing!

If you have not donated yet this year, you'll get free use of the mikvah:
  • Elul donation of $180+ - For one family member before Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur
  • A yearly donation of $500+ - For your entire family before the High Holidays
