(From Open-Minded Mikveh, http://mikveh.livejournal.com)

Here's a small grant that was awarded "to initiate a design phase with a green architecture firm to create an eco-friendly community mikveh." High time...I can't imagine what the utilities run on a standard facility in regular use, even a small one. The greywater alone could support an urban agriculture project (in Queens?).

Not again: more cuts to Israeli mikvaot.

I'm adding the Lehigh Valley Community Mikvah, in Allentown, PA, to the list. They've named liberal rabbis on their site for a while, but even the Ortho. shul's mikveh page now says: "Mikvah immersion is open to any Jew, whether for niddah use, conversion or any other purpose." Good for them. I believe one of our members visited to good effect.

Read about a new-old mikveh in Jerusalem's Nachlaot. (How edgy could the neighborhood be these days if it has a website?) I just want to know what happened to the "special 600-year-old vessel from Iran"! Justice shall be done!
