Build a Mikvah

Help Build a Mikvah

Your donation to Mikvah Be'er Yeshaya goes directly toward constructing a permanent, halachic mikvah for the Jewish community of DeLand and Volusia County.

What Goes Into Building a Mikvah

A mikvah is more than a beautiful room with water. It requires halachically valid boros, an oitzer, a bor tevillah, carefully designed preparation rooms, plumbing, waterproofing, fixtures, ventilation, privacy, accessibility, and rabbinic supervision at every critical stage. Every detail matters because the finished mikvah must be both dignified and kosher.

Mikvah Be'er Yeshaya is being built with dedicated women's and men's spaces, preparation areas, shower rooms, and the halachic infrastructure required for long-term community use.

Why Building a Mikvah Is Expensive

A mikvah must meet ordinary construction standards and exacting halachic requirements at the same time. The specialized concrete work, water systems, boros, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, privacy layout, and supervision make the project far more complex than a standard renovation. The result, when completed, is infrastructure that serves a Jewish community for generations.

What Different Donation Levels Can Fund

Every gift matters, from chai donations to major dedications. Smaller donations help purchase fixtures, finishes, supplies, and construction materials. Larger gifts can be connected to permanent naming opportunities in the mikvah building.

Current Construction Status

The building is rising in DeLand. The exterior structure is nearing completion, and the next major phase is the interior: preparation rooms, showers, mikvah chambers, finishes, fixtures, and the halachic systems that make the mikvah ready for use.

The building shell, roof, entrances, concrete floors, prepared boros areas, and water-system area are taking shape. Your donation now has an immediate impact on the boros, interior buildout, fixtures, finishes, and halachic details still ahead.

Help Finish the Building

A mikvah is built once, but its merit continues through every immersion and every Jewish home it strengthens.
