The Charlotte Goldberg Community Mikvah (CGCM) is an inclusive, Kosher, luxurious mikvah open to individuals from all streams of Judaism.
Charlotte Goldberg was inspired to build a mikvah in Cleveland to allow brides to enter into marriage with the welcoming tradition of mikvah. The CGCM also enables converts to embrace Judaism in a dignified, welcoming manner.Here are some popular, evolving uses for today's Mikvah:
- Immersion by brides, grooms and partners prior to the wedding ceremony
- Men, women and children's conversions to Judaism
- Honoring personal milestones such as graduations, birthdays, anniversaries and B'nai Mitzvah
- Beginning anew by marking the end of shivah, divorce, rape, abuse or recovery after illness
- Tahart Hamishpachah, the mitzvah of women's traditional monthly immersion
- Marking transformations in women's bodies such as onset of menstruation, miscarriage, infertility, pregnancy, the birth of a child and menopause
- Educational programs in the Community Room to learn about mikvah as part of the Jewish tradition
