PARKING
To ensure the privacy of our mikvah users, we ask that only women use the mikvah parking lot at night, and that no one wait there in parked cars. All others can wait on Melrose Street or in the shul. Thank you.

MIKVAH STAFF
The mikvah is staffed by volunteer women from the community. The Mikvah Attendant’s role is to facilitate a woman’s immersion. The Attendants have been specially trained to provide the utmost privacy and comfort to the women using the mikvah.

For halachic questions, please contact Rabbi Lopatin at 773-248-9200 or rabbi@asbi.org. Rachel Kohl Finegold is also available as a resource at 773-248-9200 or rkfinegold@asbi.org.
