The Des Moines Story
More known for its state fair than its Jews, Des Moines boasts a community of over eight hundred Jews. However, since the Mikvah first opened close to two decades ago, the state of the mikvah has deteriorated and developed issues that need to be upgraded and fixed. The closest mikvah is in Postville which is a three and a half hour drive away. Aside from the local community members and visitors, Iowa University does attract many out of state Jews as well. A newly upgraded and renovated mikvah will bez”h attract more Jewish families to keep Taharas Hamishpacha.
