About Rachel Heller

I maintain a site called Open-Minded Mikveh. Its purpose is to:

1. Provide confidential, open-minded support to ALL Jewish women, married, partnered, or single, traditional or not, who are interested in going to mikveh.

2. Maintain a list of nondenominational, community, Conservative, Masorti, unaffiliated traditional, and Reform mikvaot.

3. Post resources of interest to non-traditional (and "regular") mikveh users.

Some of the (non-confidential, purely informational) posts I make there are crossposted on my user blog here.

Email me at onanothertopic@yahoo.com if you'd like to join the community (it's for women only). If you're not a woman, or even if you are, you can join the Facebook group. Enjoy!

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 Continue reading...

Another liberal mikveh for Los Angeles?

Apparently people are raising money for a facility along the lines of Boston's Mayyim Hayyim. See here for the L.A. Jewish Journal article and here for the press release (on PDF).
