According to an article today (Thursday, May 7) at JTA.org, “The state (sic) of Montana has its first mikveh.”

The article continues, “The newly built ritual bath (in Bozeman) is serving Jewish residents from Wyoming, Idaho, North and South Dakota, and the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan, in addition to the 2,500-strong Jewish population of Montana, according to Chabad.org.”

The mikveh is located at the Bozeman Chabad House.

Mikveh, or mikvah, (MIK-vuh), Lit. gathering. A ritual bath used for spiritual purification. It is used primarily in conversion rituals and after the period of sexual separation during a woman’s menstrual cycles. The Christian practice of Baptism has its origins in the mikveh.
