First Mikvah Opens in Estonia’s Capital


mikva.jpgThe Shul in Tallinn hosted a ceremony and celebration for the inauguration of its new Mikvah. This event holds special significance for the Jewish community of Estonia, since the republic has been without a Mikvah since World War Two. This, no doubt, represents an important stage in the revival of Jewish life in Estonia.

The event involved many guests and a full cultural evening program. A communal feast took place, hosted by the ‘Moshe’ kosher restaurant, after which participants enjoyed a film on the Mikvah and a concert by two performers from Finland, who sang songs in both Yiddish and English. The festivities culminated with a visit to the Mikvah, where the guests were thrilled to witness the comfort and carefully-designed interior.

The ‘Mei Menachem’ Mikvah was built through the generous sponsorship of the Bistritsky Family of New York.
