Your tax deductable donation will help enhance the observance of Taharas Hamishpacha around the world

Another donor is stepping up to the plate to help a Chabad Mikvah overcome the last financial hurdle before completion.
A woman whose identity is being kept secret has turned to the Taharas
Hamishpacha Organization / Mikvah.org and offered a donation of $10,000
for a new Mikvah building project.
According to the organization's director Mrs. Chaya Sarah Zarchi, the woman was inspired after reading on COLlive.com about another anonymous donor that gave $10,000 to Chabad of Sweden's Mikvah.
"It comes in the spirit of "mitzvah goreres mitzvah" - one donor
inspired another - and it's your article that caused this ripple
effect," Mrs. Zarchi told COLlive Publisher Mica Soffer.
As with the first donation, the decision on where the monies will go is
solely up to the donor, who said her first choice is a Mikvah in Israel.
Shluchim and community leaders in Israel are welcome to send a detailed
report about their Mikvah that is being built and what will it take to
complete it.
Taharas Hamishpacha Organization, a division of Machne Israel, will then
pass along the information to the donor. Personnel at the organization
will not be consulted or involved in the choosing.
"It is the donor who is the driving force and support behind this and who deserves tremendous Yasher Koach," says Mrs. Zarchi.
"The fact that her choice is to remain anonymous is testimony to the
fact that she has one and only motive: Get a Mikvah up and running as
fast as possible. May she be blessed with all that is good."
Applications can be sent to shluchos@mikvah.org.
