In line with the directive of Bnei Brak Mayor Rav Avraham Rubinstein, city mikvaos in Bnei Brak will be free of charge for those toiveling on erev Yom Kippur. The decision was made amid a realization of difficult financial times and the many families with many boys who will wish to Toivel before the Yom HaDin.
City Councilman Rav Avraham Dovid Rosner, who oversees the mikvaos, was in total agreement.
This applies to the following mikvaos.
1. 7 Chafetz Chaim Street
2. 4 Achiya HaShiloni Street
3. 12A Rav Dangor Street (Pardes Katz)
4. 13 Avnei Nezer Street (Ramat Elchanan)
5. 15 Neufeld (Kiryat Herzog)
6. 13 Zevulun Hammer Blvd. (Shichun Hey)
7. 16 Ravina (Kiryat Vishnitz)
8. 25 Rav Yehuda Nachshoni Street (Nachal Sorek/N’vei Achiezer)
The mikve on Ba’ari Street is undergoing renovations. The mikve on Rav Kalish Street in closed temporarily for renovations.

Too bad that’s not done here also. $25 for men and $10 for boys can get expensive. We’re also having financial difficulties.
Mi K’amcho Yisroel!!!
We should take upon ourselves to love our fellow jews more and stop speaking loshon horah
And for YeshivaWorldNews stop instigating Machlokes!!!!
We dont need to hear about Machlokos in Williamsburg or any other sect
According to R’ Moshe one should not hear or see someone doing Aveiros, let alone Machlokos.
Im positive that if u stop with all gossip stories Hashem will be Matzliach your business!
G’Mar Chasima Tova to all
$25. That a lot . A LOT of money. Wow. It’s funny how your charged so much to do a mitzvah. Makes one wonder. Everything Jews need and , do cost a lot. Matzah, menorah stuff, esrogim, tuition, clothing. It’s ridiculous already.
#1 ive never heard of a mikva charging $25 if that’s true I cant imagine hashem would want us to go for that price. in Lakewood the most expensive ones are $5 for working people and $4 for kollel

Its a nice gesture erev yom tov but to spend $10-$25 to be toivel is not a big deal. Any stop whining about YWN instigating “machlokes”. First of all Willy is a neighborhood, not a “sect”. YWN does not publish “gossip stories”. Its article are news about the frum tzibur and where we live and its article are typically well document and sources are named. In the rare case where it publishes something in error, it quickly posts and update, which is more than Yatid and some of the other Chareidi rags. Gmar tov to you and perhaps you should learn to be a bit less harsh in your commentary.
