St. Paul's Mikvah (ritual immersion pool) is a completely modern facility used by Jewish women who observe laws of family purity, for ritual immersion of new vessels, and for conversion to Judaism. For information or an appointment, call (651) 698-6163. Mikvah volunteers will answer the phone when available to make appointments. The answering machine will not pick up unless mikvah volunteers are out of town.

Corner of Minnetonka Boulevard and Natchez Avenue, St. Louis Park
Kennesseth Israel Congregation in St. Louis Park
Adath Israel Synagogue in St. Pa u l
Montreal Avenue in St. Paul
