The living waters of a rainstorm enhanced the groundbreaking Sunday, May 17, for a place where anyone in the Jewish community can be immersed in the living waters of a mikvah.
Mike Leven says he got behind the MACoM project because it will contribute to the survival of the Jewish people.
About 50 people attended the ceremony in front of Congregation B’nai Torah, where the Metro Atlanta Community Mikvah, or MACoM, will be built over the summer to open soon after the High Holidays. The acronym is a play on the Hebrew word for place, B’nai Torah Rabbi Josh Heller said, because the new mikvah will be a place where the Atlanta Jewish community can come together.
