Ancient Mikvah Found in Kostrama Print E-mail

RUSSIA [FJC] — During some minor reconstruction work in the Kostrama synagogue, Chief Rabbi of Kostroma Nison Ruppo found a deep hole in the synagogue’s kitchen. After examining the pit, which had been filled in with concrete and covered over, it became apparent that the hole had served as the mikvah for the Kostoma community in the years predating the October Revolution. Later on, during the Soviet regime, this mikvah had been filled and then sealed off.

It is worth noting that, during his exile to Kostroma in 1927, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchok Schneersohn, the sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, immersed in this mikvah. Learning this information made the find even more significant for the Kostrama Jewish community and more determined to “re-open” the mikvah.

Rabbi Ruppo, who is also a Chabad-Lubavitch emissary serving in the region, has begun to raise the necessary funds to build the new mikvah. The mikvah will be beautiful and modern, and will meet the strictest requirements of Jewish law. The synagogue’s kitchen will be relocated to a different area of the building in order to enable the mikvah to be built in it’s original location.

The Jewish community of Kostroma is a member of the Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia.

MikvahMinder is proud to announce that we have received an endorsement from Rabbi Fishel Jacobs of Kfar Chabad.  (Click here to view the endorsement from Rabbi Jacobs.)

Rabbi Jacobs is the author of seven non-fiction books, including acclaimed works on difficult areas of practical Talmudic law, in use worldwide. For over a decade, he acted as the Tel Aviv University campus chaplain (Chabad).

 

Jacobs was perhaps the first American ordained by the head rabbis of Israel. He holds a PhD (equivalency) from the Israel Dept. of Religion, and completed training as a Rabbinic attorney.

 

He served as a lieutenant in an Israel army combat engineering unit, on active duty during the entire Gulf War.

 

Rabbi Jacobs retired from the Israel Prison Service in 2005, where he was the only American staff officer, a Major, serving as a prison chaplain and hand-to-hand combat instructor.

He is the author of many books dealing with the subject of family purity (Taharas HaMishpacha) including Family Purity : A Guide to Marital Fulfillment, and Z'manim.
