Find a mikvah near you
The quickest way to find a mikvah is the worldwide Mikvah Directory at mikvah.org. It lists over 1,100 mikvahs. You can search by city, zip code or address, or use your location, and filter by type of mikvah.

Before you go
Call ahead
Hours change, and most women's mikvahs work by appointment, after nightfall.
Travelling?
Book early. A mikvah in a city you are visiting may be busy before Shabbos or Yom Tov, and some open only on request.
Ask about supervision
Standards of construction and supervision differ. If you are unsure whether a mikvah meets your standard, ask your rav.
Men's and keilim mikvahs
They often keep different hours from the women's mikvah, or sit in a different building. Ask which you need.
Where there is no mikvah
Many Jewish communities around the world still have no mikvah at all. Women there travel for hours, or immerse in the sea or a river after dark. Mikvah Tahara exists to close that gap. Over nearly twenty years we have built and helped build mikvahs in more than fifteen countries, including Belarus, Ukraine, Russia, Germany, France, Belgium, Nigeria, the Philippines, Argentina, Malta, Croatia, Cyprus, Bulgaria and Israel.

Ask your rav
The practical details are governed by halacha and by local custom. This page describes the practice in general terms so that it can be understood. For how it applies to you, ask your rav — that is not a formality, it is genuinely how this works.
