Directions3050 College Heights Blvd.,
Allentown, PA 18104 Our Mikvah building was designed as a house, to blend in with the surrounding residential neighborhood. Parking is available in the garage, in the driveway, or on the street.
We are most grateful for the support of our Lehigh Valley Jewish community, which enabled the creation of our beautiful Mikvah. Special thanks to builders Alex & Avi Hornstein for all of their time and effort!

Learn More about Mikvah
In the time of the Beit haMikdash [Temple], immersion in a Mikvah was a pre-requisite for participation in a wide range of rituals. Today, in traditional Judaism, Mikvah is used primarily in four areas: conversion, immersion of utensils before use, immersions before the Sabbath and holidays, and immersion as part of observing family purity.
Many educators and clergy in the Lehigh Valley are available to talk about Mikvah use from a variety of perspectives. The following educators and clergy have volunteered to serve as resources:
