A new Men’s Mikvah named Mikvah Mashbak was inaugurated Sunday morning at a ceremony at Anshei Lubavitch Shul in Crown Heights.

Sponsored in part by the family of Reb Berel Junik, the Mikvah was named Mashbak, in his honor as the Mashbak of the Rebbe’s home.

The brand new mikvah, located on the Shul’s premises at 578 Albany Ave, is complete with a dressing area, showers, and Bor.

Another special honoree was Dovid Hershkowitz, whose months of dedicated work oversaw the project to completion.

Those who came to the inauguration ceremony heard from the Shuls Rov, Rabbi Yossi Garelik, as well as a representative from the Junik family.

Other sponsorships included the Gopin family in memory of Reb Boruch Gopin and Reb Dovi Lesches in memory of his uncle Reb Yeshayahu Lesches.

The mikvah had previously been given a Hechsher Kashrus by the Av Bes Din of Crown Heights Harav Avrohom Osdoba, as well as Rabbi Grossbaum, the Rov who oversaw the mikvah’s construction.
