Scheduling an Appointment
Please call the attendant at least three (3) days in advance. In general, if you do not hear back from the mikvah attendant assigned to your night within 24 hours, please call another mikvah attendant or our alternate, Jessica Rich. While we are happy to help everyone fulfill this most important mitzvah, we all have busy schedules. It is the mikvah’s current policy that users bring their own towel(s).

If something breaks, please clean it up to the best of your ability and immediately contact the KI office and/or a mikvah attendant.
