The Village Shul's Women's Mikvah - in the merit of

Rebbetzin Faigy Hoch A"H

We are excited to announce that renovations of the mikvah at The Village Shul started on Monday, January 16, 2023. The work is estimated to last approximately 2-3 months.


For over 20 years, and 28,000 visits, women from all over Toronto – representing the full spectrum of Jewish observance – attend TVS Mikvah. While our women’s mikvah and keilim mikvah are closed, Chana LeBowitz (women’s mikvah) and Abi Samole (keilim mikvah) are happy to help redirect you to other mikvaos in the city.


Your patience is most appreciated during this time, and we look forward to greeting you at our beautifully updated mikvah!


With great appreciation to all our donors and supporters.


The Rabbis and Rebbetzins, Board of Directors and TVS Mikvah Renovation committee!​​​​​​
