There were no empty seats in the spacious amphitheater last Wednesday evening. Many of those present were Orthodox Jews. The Rosh Yeshiva, Rav Ahron Kaufman, stood up to�address the overflowing crowd, �Family values and strong dedication to religious morals are what Waterbury stands for. They are also what a Mikvah stands for.� I am confident that the variance will be passed unanimously and without reservation.??? Just one month ago, the Zoning Board ruled that the Jewish community in Waterbury could not build a Mikvah in the small home that was purchased for this purpose. There was much misunderstanding in the local government as to the nature of a Mikvah. But through the appeals process, the Yeshiva was granted a second chance to plead its case this week.� Through tremendous Siyata Dishmaya, the Zoning Board retracted its original decision, and ruled in favor of the Mikvah.–YW Editor.
