The Campaign
The Cape Cod Mikvah Match-A-Thon campaign is happening November 1-2, 2022!
It is set to begin 9:00 am on Tuesday, Nov. 1, and it will end 9:00 pm on Wednesday, Nov. 2. For 36 HOURS ONLY every single dollar YOU give to Chabad of Cape Cod will be matched by a group of extraordinary benefactors to help us reach our goal of $275,000!
Your donation will be doubled! Help us complete the Chabad of Cape Cod Mikvah Addition Project
Chabad has been serving the Cape Cod Jewish community since 1996 and serves as a welcoming home to many tourists and visitors year round. A year ago, we broke ground with your help, and began construction for our long awaited Mikvah addition project. We have made significant progress and the project is about 60% complete. To date, we have raised and spent $360,000 and require the additional funds to complete the project. The Mikvah project includes a Mikvah for women, a Mikvah for men, a commercial kitchen to expand our kosher food services to the many visitors, and an expanded social hall in our current facility to be able to serve our guests and community members alike. Due to the unforeseen rise in cost for materials and labor, we are appealing to you for your generosity in providing us with additional funds to help us complete this project successfully!
We are here to the answer the call to every visitor looking for a Mikvah, Kosher food to eat, a minyan, Shabbos accommodations, and so much more! Please help us so we can provide to others in their time of need.
Please help us reach our goal and help make this Mikvah project a reality!!! By partnering with us you bring blessing upon yourself, your family and our community.
Why is Mikvah so Important!
It is no exaggeration to state that the mikvah is the touchstone of Jewish life and the portal to a Jewish future.
Most Jews see the synagogue as the central institution in Jewish life, but Jewish law states that constructing a mikvah takes precedence even over building a house of worship. Both a synagogue and a Torah scroll, Judaism’s most venerated treasure, may be sold to raise funds for the building of a mikvah. In fact, in the eyes of Jewish law, a group of Jewish families living together do not attain the status of a community if they do not have a communal mikvah.
Why is Mikvah seen to be so fundamental to Jewish life? Because the spiritual connection to G-d that immersion in the Mikvah provides to the individual is something that can not be attained at the synagogue or through Torah study. Immersion of the body into the pure water of the Mikvah reflects the conscious suspension of the self as an autonomous force. The immersing Jew signals a desire to achieve oneness with the source of all life, to return to a primeval unity with G-d. Immersion indicates the abandonment of one form of existence to embrace one infinitely higher. In keeping with this theme, immersion in the mikvah is described not only in terms of purification and revitalization, but also, and perhaps primarily, as rebirth. The mikvah offers the individual, the community and the nation of Israel the essential gift of purity and holiness that precedes prayer and study.
Our Mikvah on Cape Cod will combine practical beauty with innate spirituality, allowing for a transformative experience that is private, relaxing, rejuvenating, and uplifting. Please help us reach our goal and help make this Mikvah project a reality!!! By partnering with us you bring blessing upon yourself, your family and our community.
