Mikvah Info
The Champaign IL Story
Champaign is a city in central Illinois that hosts a large University of Illinois campus. The large student population includes many Jews, who are served by a full communal infrastructure – Chabad, campus kiruv organizations, kosher food establishments and an Eruv. However, the number of strictly observant locals is modest and few traveled the long distance to the nearest mikvah. The Champaign community was struggling to build a mikvah, and couldn’t even acquire a property. The community reached out to Mikvah USA, which, within three days, supplied the funding necessary to acquire a suitable property. Mikvah USA remained involved and helpful through completion. With a beautiful modern mikvah to call its own, taharah observance has increased multifold and kiruv efforts have been distinctly energized.
