Interior of the mikvah, 2004 Interior of the mikvah, 2004

Mykwa in Jesimias Chachmej Lublin - a mikvah located in Lublin in the Chatymej Jesyas building in Lubartowska Street 85. Widely regarded as one of the most kosher mikvás in the world.

Mykwa was built along with the Jeshas Chachmej Lublin building in 1930. It consisted of two parts: a pool and a water tank, which came from a natural source. But to the end it is not known how water was brought into the mikvee. It is assumed that during the winter the snow was poured into the tank, and in the spring, summer and fall, the raincoat got in through the windows in the basement.

During the World War II the mikvah was unused, and its interior was destroyed. In June 2007, at the initiative of the Jewish Community in Warsaw, a mikvee was renovated, supervised by rabbi Gedalia Olshtein from Israel.

The water for the mikveh is to be supplied with a rainwater tank placed on the roof of the building. The original color of the walls was reproduced - rotten green, and the pool was lined with tiles imitating the pre-war. Its official opening is scheduled for 5 November 2008, the 75th anniversary of Majer Shapira's death.
