Jewish Family Life
Taharat hamishpacha, the laws of family purity, are the heart of why Mikvah Be'er Yeshaya is being built. Every donation supports the families who depend on these laws for their Jewish home life.
Taharat hamishpacha, or family purity, is a body of Jewish law that governs the physical relationship between husband and wife. It involves a monthly cycle of separation and reunion, with the wife immersing in a mikvah before resuming physical relations. These laws are observed by Orthodox and traditional Jewish families, and many couples describe the practice as one of the most meaningful and renewing aspects of their marriage.
Taharah observance is directly tied to access. DeLand families currently travel 35+ minutes to the nearest mikvah, and availability is limited. When a beautiful, welcoming, local mikvah exists, more families observe with confidence and consistency. This is why building a mikvah is one of the highest-priority tzedakah projects a Jewish community can undertake.
Mikvah Be'er Yeshaya in DeLand, Florida is being built to give every family in Volusia County and Central Florida a local, halachically supervised mikvah. Your gift is a direct investment in taharat hamishpacha for every family this mikvah will serve.
A gift to Mikvah Be'er Yeshaya supports taharat hamishpacha for every family in DeLand and beyond.
