A modest but impressive ceremony took pace at the Darchei Shalom synagogue in the Otrendoe neighborhood, following a contribution by a leading Jewish lay leader.

Russia’s head Shliach and Chief Rabbi Berl Lazar and Darchei Shalom’s Moscow-born Rabbi David Karpov, spoke at the dedication.

The mikveh is an addition to the shul and is in addition to several mikvaos that have been built in the city the past several years for Jewish families, and shiurim in Taharas HaMishpocho have become increasingly popular. The construction and maintenance of the mikvaos are under strict supervision of the dayanim, headed by Rabbi Lazar.
