The urgency couldn’t be greater
The groundwork is laid.
The city is ready.
The time is now.
And what’s unfolding here will change the future of Meron—and Klal Yisroel.
Right now, as Lag Baomer fires light up the sky and music fills the air, something is taking place beneath the surface.
In the city of Reb Shimon, the only mikvah taharah is being completely rebuilt—from the ground up.
Yes, Meron—the most visited Jewish site in the world, drawing over a million people each year—has only one mikvah. And for years, it stood in disrepair, barely usable.
Thousands of local residents had nowhere to turn.
Tens of thousands more—from Chassidish to Litvish, Sefardic to secular—come wishing to fulfill one of the holiest mitzvos… and need to leave to another city.
But, for those not-yet observant, no mikvah nearby means no taharah at all.
But now, that’s changing.
Under the guidance of Gedolei Yisroel, Merkaz L’Taharas HaMishpacha is spearheading a complete rebuild of Mikvah Meron—kosher, beautiful, welcoming, and on track for completion within three months, b’ezras Hashem.
This is not a first for Merkaz.
Since 1942, the organization has built and restored over 1,100 mikvaos across Eretz Yisroel, with usage often doubling—and tripling—after their work is complete. Because when there’s a welcoming mikvah—they come.
In community after community, they’ve made taharas hamishpacha accessible to every Jewish woman, observant or not.
Because taharah is not just a mitzvah. It’s our foundation.
It’s what preserves the kedusha of our homes.
It’s what protects our future.
And it’s the source of untold yeshuos.
“Reb Shimon never leaves a debt unpaid,” Hagaon Hatzadik Harav Shimon Galei Shlit”a, unwaveringly supporting the project, promises; “It is a tremendous zechus to become a partner in the purity of Am Yisrael, especially in the place of such a tzaddik.”
Supporters of Merkaz L’Taharas HaMishpacha have seen children born after decades of waiting. Shidduchim found after years of silence. Parnassah turnarounds, refuos, and peace in the home—after helping to build a mikvah.
This is your chance to take part in one of the greatest mitzvos—in one of the holiest places—on one of the most special days of the year.
And it gets even better.
This Lag Baomer, donors will have a chance to send a kvittel to be read by the Rachmastrivka Rebbe shlit”a at his hadlaka by the tzion of Reb Shimon.
Now’s your chance to have your name be mentioned by a Gadol b’Yisroel at this auspicious time.
Give $219—the gematria of taharah—(or $18.25/month), dedicate a room, or simply give what you can.
There’s no minimum to take part in the zechus.
Every dollar helps build the mikvah—and open the wellspring of yeshua.
Seize the mitzvah, the zechus, and the bracha of a tzadik this Lag Baomer.
