From time immemorial, the mitzvah of mikvah has been the cornerstone of Jewish family life. In our times, the Rebbe called attention to this special mitzvah – amongst other things, urging for the construction of beautiful mikvahs.
The Crown Heights women’s mikvah has a unique zchus that the Rebbe immersed there. For tens of years, the Rebbe used that mikvah in preparation for his visits to the Ohel of the Frierdiker Rebbe and on other occasions.
The mikvah is in need of renewal and repair. We now have the special opportunity to participate in the preservation of this unique space, allowing our’s and future generations of Jewish families to be built upon the bedrock of the sacred mikvah the Rebbe himself used.
In response to our online petition, and the tremendous outpouring of support for the Rebbe’s mikvah that it generated, the Vaad of dedicated women who oversee the mikvah has assured us that the mikvah will be preserved, to the best possible way to keep the authentic original space and materials.
However, restoring and preserving a decades-old mikvah is far more costly than building a new one. We call upon all chasidim to take part in this special zchus by participating in the GoFundMe campaign which was set up to pay for the expenses of this preservation.
We further ask for your help to circulate this campaign to friends and family, urging them to do contribute as well.
Let’s take part in the special zchus of keeping this special mikvah, and may we all merit the brochos and yeshuos of keeping our families connected to our dear Rebbe.
May we very soon be reunited with our beloved heilige Rebbe, with the coming of Moshiach Tzidkeinu.

The renovated rooms are absolutely beautiful. Thank you to everyone involved – I appreciate going to a beautiful facility. It makes the mitzvah so appealing
Wishing all those involved much hatzlacha!
It is not dilapidated or in disrepair at all after over 30 years they are trying to preserve the actual mikvah that the Rebbe used and upgrade the walls, floor and rooms outside the actual mikvah

We are talking about the mikvah on Union Street
The same mikvah that the women use after 30+ years things need to be fixed and The woman’s committee are trying to preserve the actual mikvah as much as possible the way it was when the Rebbe went
CM
It means that they are trying to restore it exactly like when the Rebbe used it

Thank You to all those involved in the HUGE ZCHUS of preserving the REBBE’S MIKVAH!!!!!!
It’s only money.
In Russia preserving a Mikvah, if caught ment death.
So let’s all help and thank profusely those who are involved!!!!
Truly a Makom Kadosh!
Wasn’t this same mikvah renovated in 2011? I remember individual tiles were being sold.
Ditto to the woman who wrote the beautiful comment #1.
It’s easy to take a community mikvah for granted and simply thank the attendants and those one sees when using the mikvah. Thank you to the dedicated committee (and all others involved in the smooth running of the mikvah) for making sure there is always available a large, clean, modern (enough) mikvah in Crown Heights for the many residents and guests.

To see the shluchim and Anash united is very special
AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE IT WAS WAS ALLOWED TO BECOME SO DILAPIDATED AND DISREPAIR. THE TILES THE REBBE WALKED ON IN THE MIKVEH SHOULD BE PRESERVED AND REFITTED IN SOME WAY
I’d like to see it fixed, and to be used, that would be better than just spend and not be used. Also the men’s Union Street mikvah would be a good idea to fix.
1) WHERE IS THIS MIKVAH LOCATED ?
2) I THOUGHT THAT THE WOMEN’S MIKVAH IS THE SAME MIKVAH WHERE THE REBBE WENT, SO HOW CAN IT BE LIKE THAT IF IT IS STILL BEING USED TILL TODAY ??
Does this mean when done it will look exactly like when the Rebbe used it?
Or are you planning on turning it into an overly ostentatious six star amenity?
I hope for the former, but fear the latter
The Rebbes Mikva is the most beautiful mikva in the world!
Dear Rozie Malamud, Cyrel Deitsch, Nechama Hackner and Seema Goldstien, This beautiful endeavor that you have taken on is incredible! The hours you must be pouring in, the decisions you have to make, and the final results bear testimony to a committee of ladies who gave of themselves selflessly for the betterment of the klal. Here publicly I want to say thank you to all of you. I know that there are a million things in everyone’s life that we could be busy with, but you ladies with class, finesse, and shtillerheit, took on a mammoth project and just made… Read more »
Is MOST beautiful.
Fortunate is the woman who has the Zechus to tread the same tiles and be in the same space as The Rebbe in the MOST private moment.
Moshiach Now!
:'( How did it get like that???
With gratitude, To the Rabonim who have been and continue to be selflessly and continuously dedicated to the Crown Heights Mikva/The Rebbes Mikva, To the women of the Mikva management/comittee for making your life work the beauty and hidur of the Mikva. To the devoted and kind Mikva attendants, past and present whose care is beyond what we see. To The Donors for upholding the maintenance and operation of the Mikva for so many years, and the renovations and upgrades in recent years. To the preservation committee and management for the gift to chassidim of maintaining and restoring the Rebbes… Read more »
