Singer Yaakov Shwekey performed at an exclusive event this week for donors of the planned La Brea Spa Mikvah, which is being built in Los Angeles in memory of Rabbi Shimon Raichik obm.
Guests mingled over a lavish meat spread and enjoyed an intimate performance from the popular singer.
The event was held to benefit the Mikvah which will offer a unique and elevated experience. An experience where privacy is paramount. Where comfort is essential. Where individuals from any and every community will feel at home in a mikvah tailored to their specific needs.
On the first Yartzeit of Rabbi Shimon Raichik, his family announced the launch of a campaign to build the luxury Chabad mikvah in Los Angeles’ La Brea neighborhood, fulfilling a lifelong dream.
Rabbi Raichik had mentioned numerous times that he wished the members of the LaBrea community (his community) of Los Angeles would be able to have a beautiful, private, and dignified mikvah experience with all of the Chabad hidurim. He was also concerned for the families on the brink of deciding to keep taharas hamishpacha properly, it could be the difference between a beautiful mikvah experience or a mediocre one.
Rabbi Raichik was so passionate about Taharas Hamishpacha and was known to take calls from all over the world at all hours of the day and night in this matter.
When the Raichik family was deciding which project to take on as Rabbi Raichik’s legacy, they received a very clear letter from the Rebbe emphasizing to create a beautiful women’s mikvah and all those involved in it will surely see brachos.
