About the new mikvah:
The new Pittsburgh Mikvah will serve residents and guests of the Pittsburgh Jewish Community, offering its patrons a discreet, serene, and comfortable environment. Conveniently located at the corner of Forbes and Denniston in Squirrel Hill, the building will be easily accessible while offering private entry through the parking lot on Denniston. The gated lot, which will only open during the evening hours of operation, will be equipped with an outdoor security camera to safeguard all visitors. The Mikvah’s rotating staff will include a receptionist to greet visitors upon arrival, and an attendant for assistance as needed.
To safeguard the privacy of our patrons, no men will be allowed in the Mikvah building on any night (including Friday night) during the regular hours of operation.
Our staff has been professionally trained to best meet the needs of each user in the most sensitive fashion. A receptionist will greet you as you enter the mikvah and direct you to your preparation room. A matron will be available to help in all matters. Each preparation room is equipped with a direct dial phone that will allow you to communicate with the receptionist and/or the matron so you can clearly identify your needs.
The receptionist team will include Bryna Cohen and Rivka Marcus and the weekday matron will be Shoshana Melamed. On Shabbos and Yom Tov we will have a rotation of community Rebbetzins and Chana Gittle Deray. A group of trained substitutes will be available when necessary.
