The Arcata Story
Located in the northern portion of the largest state in the country, the Arcata region is hundreds of miles removed from other Orthodox communities and their resources. A round trip to the nearest mikvah is a very difficult endeavor. The region’s mountainous terrain makes the trip particularly difficult, and in the winter time even dangerous, dissuading all but the most devoted Orthodox residents from undertaking it. Approximately 2,000 Jews currently live in the area, and there is a large college campus nearby with many Jewish students. The future of Judaism and outreach efforts in this unique region is very promising region but remains heavily dependent upon whether there is a mikvah within realistic reach.
