"I recently became a member. The Congregation is very friendly and welcoming. Kvn Shapiro Mae Downs and Co."
"A mikve is a water source used to achieve purity. It is used on a Friday night before the Shabbat, by brides before their wedding, etc."
"Founded in 1740: Established by religious Jews during British America, Mikveh Israel is the oldest formal congregation in Philadelphia and the longest-running synagogue in the United States. Sephardic Origins: It's a Sephardic Orthodox synagogue, meaning it follows the traditions of Spanish and Portuguese Jews. Rich in History: The congregation boasts a rich history, with letters from George Washington and Abraham Lincoln in its archives and a amazing paintings of the prominent Jewish leaders that helped preserve the tradition for centuries"
"Kahal Kadosh Mikveh Israel captivates with its timeless charm and historical resonance. As the oldest continuous Jewish community, it stands as a testament to enduring traditions. The inclusion of President Washington's letter elevates the visit, offering a glimpse into the past and the community's lasting impact. A five-star gem that seamlessly weaves together history and heritage."
"Came without an appointment and was so kindly welcomed to visit after asking and was shown the special items of their collection by both the kind Secretary who then called the Rabbi. He kindly took me around pointing out the amazing history, items and places of importance in the shul. Then was honored to meet the elder Rabbi Gabbai who was so welcoming and kind. A visit that will remain with me for all my days! The hospitality and warmth was absolutely amazing and Abraham could not have treated a ‘strange visitor’ with more warmth."
