🌻Good Morning🌻

[7/10]. I had to do extensive research on this quiz, which is a good thing. There were a couple of surprises. The best, by far, was the mikvah in Crown Heights dedicated to the Rebbe and Rebbetzin. It's magnificently breathtaking! I did not want to stop looking at the introductory video! Do the attendents have problems with anyone not wanting to leave? ☺

Best wishes, Reply

I did not do as well pn this one! The Mikveh is my city, Pittsburgh, is in an easily overlooked building, and that is not a bad thing, given the tragedy that struck my former Synagogue, Tree of Life. I had been to the Mikveh several times, especially when I was Rabbi's secretary, (yes, men can be secretaries too!!). It is clean and beautifully maintained, and I love this tradition and Mitzvah!

Really? There are enough observant Jews in McAllen TX to support a mikveh? Reply

Had the pleasure to build one humble mikvah on long island new york.
Perhaps the most important thing I ever did...

Very interesting!

I was a bit surprised that two of the photos showed mikvaot with signage. I thought that they were supposed to be discreet to protect safety and privacy. Reply

Without question the most difficult quiz in the history of Chabad quizzes though very interesting. As an active member of Chabad of Woodstock I got a kick when I gegebn a kuk at the answers to question #2! Reply

That's my next step, or dip, besides the drop of blood from there since I'm already circumcised.

Hopefully this spring, please say a prayer about this. Thank you, Shalom Shalom Reply
