Mikvah - Chabad of Roslyn
Most Jews see the synagogue as the central institution in Jewish life but Jewish law states that constructing a Mikvah takes precedence. Both a synagogue and a Torah scroll, Judaism's most venerated treasures, may be sold to raise funds for the building of a Mikvah. It is no exaggeration to state that the laws of family life and Mivkah, which are entrusted to the Jewish women, are the touchstone of Jewish life and the portal to Jewish future.
