Embracing tradition, inspiring renewal, and fostering spiritual serenity.
IMMERSING IN A MIKVAH
is a beautiful and intimate ritual for spiritual renewal.
While there are many reasons one might immerse in a Mikvah, the Somerset County Mikvah is for women’s use in conjunction with the brides immerse in the Mikvah in the traditional laws of Family Purity: brides immerse in the Mikvah in the lead-up to their wedding day, and married women immerse on a monthly basis based on their menstrual cycle calendar. In the tranquil waters of the Mikvah, the woman taps into her closeness with G‑d — the source of life, purity, and holiness. It is an auspicious time for her personal prayers and meditation. As the waters embrace her, she connects with the hundreds of generations of Jewish women who have been immersing in a Mikvah since Biblical times.
OUR MIKVAH’S DESIGN is inspired by the ancient Mikvahs uncovered in archeological digs across Israel and other regions with Jewish historical presence. It pays homage to the enduring continuity and significance of the Mikvah tradition throughout millennia.
Our Mikvah caters to women immersing for the purpose of Family Purity, which is typically performed after nightfall. The soft glow of candles, and lighting reminiscent of a starlit sky, add to the atmosphere of tranquility and sacredness. Harmoniously blending the ancient and the modern, the body and the spirit, our Mikvah is a place where one can find renewal, peace, and a deeper connection to oneself and the Divine. It combines the profound spirituality of the ancient ritual, along with the luxurious ambiance of a modern spa. Mikvah is, after all, a spa for the soul.
