Community, published bi-weekly by the Jewish Community Federation of Louisville, Inc, Louisville, Kentucky, will present their Spring Wedding Guide in the January 25, 2008 issue.
The Spring Wedding Guide will feature an article for the Mikvah of Louisville – which will present an opportunity for local kallas [Jewish brides] to receive a large “Bathe in Luxury” gift basket at no cost [value approximately $100.]*
The Louisville Vaad is charged with the responsibility of maintaining the Louisville Mikvah. Jewish law denotes a Mikvah as an essential component of every Jewish community. It is the only communal institution that takes precedence in being built before a synagogue and Jewish school.
The Jewish family unit has always enjoyed an almost legendary reputation for morality and stability. The Jewish system for preserving this moral integrity of the family is embodied in the Biblical Laws of Family Purity and Mikvah. In addition to its ritual uses, it is also commonly used by brides as well as in adoption and conversion ceremonies.
To make an appointment to visit our Mikvah, please call the Mikvah attendant at (502) 494-3774 or the synagogue office at (502) 451-3122. (Mikvah attendant needs to be first)
