The Grand Opening Ceremony took place at the location of the new Mikva named The Chaya Rivkah Mikvah after Mrs. Chaya Rivkah Korf ob’m. Rabbi Shmuel Kaminezki along many other distinguished members of the community and an impressive crowd of women were present. After Rabbi Kaminezki’s inspirational words and blessings, Motti Korf and Alexander Kogonovsky cut the ribbon and a new mezuzah was affixed to the entrance. Two large plaques, with an inscription detailing the dedication of the Mivka were unveiled.
All guests were then given a guided tour of the four exquisitely decorated and furnished preparation rooms with top of the line bath fixtures and imported furniture, each room styled differently to cater to different tastes.
The interior design was made possible due to the great efforts of Mrs. Shaina Lipskier, an active member of the community.
The ceremony ended with a beautiful buffet featuring delicious sushi and many other delicacies.
