I am proud to report to you of the success of the Mikvah Dedication event this past Sunday night. It was truly an elegant affair, candlelight dinner, open bar, valet parking, etc. enjoyed by all. If you missed it, we missed you as well. All the guests were given “tour cards” and patiently waited their turn to tour our gorgeous mikvah. The “oohs” and “aahs” were flowing freely as people expressed their pleasant surprise at how beautiful the mikvah turned out to be.
 A short program included a presentation by Adam Katz, the key benefactor of the mikvah, whom I presented with a leather bound Xerox copy of the actual pages of his family Torah scroll that sits in our ark. Adam spoke of his pride on how the mikvah turned out and his joy in being able to give and help build Torah and yiddishkeit in our community. An announcement was made that the steel frame for the new anticipated two story expansion of the Chabad House is scheduled to go up within three weeks. Please watch for the exciting developments in the expansion.
 The highlight of the evening was a speech delivered by Sara. As the proud husband I kvelled and shepped nachas on her speech as well as the way she presented it, with such poise and dignity. Click here to read Sara's speech. She touched upon the basic points of why mikvah is such an important mitzvah in Judaism and the great gift it can be to any marriage. Sara asked me to invite anyone interested in learning more to contact her (767-3372) for a private discussion on the subject, or you may contact Rivky our mikvah coordinator (315-3471).
