The Hamptons Mikvah is open by appointment only. Text or call Goldie at 631-312-4286.
Please come completely prepared as if you are immersing on a Friday night.
Do not come to Mikvah if you are exhibiting any signs of illness. If you believe you have been exposed to the coronavirus please consult with a Rov and call us to discuss.
Please note: the Mikvah attendant will stand the recommended social distancing distance away from you.
In addition, please note the following:
• Each room is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected between each use. We maintain a rigorous cleaning schedule to eliminate transmittal of illnesses.
• The Mikvah pool, in addition to our usual bromine filtration system, receives additional rigorous bromine treatments on a continuous basis during the duration of this virus outbreak. We are following CDC guidance for proper operation, maintenance, and disinfection of our Mikvah which inactivates the virus that causes COVID-19 in pools and hot tubs.
• Community members must abide by the self-quarantine rules and be extra vigilant in maintaining best practices to eliminate person to person contamination. Any person who is under quarantine must consult her local Orthodox Rabbi and our Mikvah before visiting our facility. In addition, women with compromised immune health also must consult a Rav before visiting the Mikvah.
• Do not come to the Mikvah with any symptoms of illness, including fever, vomiting, diarrhea, and upper respiratory infection. This is in accordance with the CDC and the advice of various doctors.
• The CDC has issued travel advisories for many countries. We therefore ask that if you have visited any of these locations please ask a halachic shaalah and be in contact with the Mikvah. This is a matter of pekuach nefesh - safety of a life, and affects the safety of the entire community. This applies to any new countries that may be added to the list during the duration of the virus.
In the merit of the observance of this holy mitzvah and our eternal commitment to the laws of family purity, may Hashem protect us and empower us to bring spiritual and physical protection to our homes, our communities, and to the entire world. Our faith in Hashem is strong! With wishes for a complete refuah sheleimah to all those affected by the virus, and a quick end to this pandemic.
