Roof Complete: Protecting the Mikva for Generations

Roof Complete: Protecting the Mikva for Generations

We’re excited to share the latest update on our roof progress!

Our dedicated team has been hard at work bringing the flat roof to completion. We can now see each stage of the process: the wood decking has been carefully installed, followed by a protective layer of DensDeck to add strength and durability, and finally a waterproof barrier, often referred to as tar paper, to protect the building from the elements.

This finishing work is crucial for ensuring the roof is fully stable, secure, and ready to support the spaces inside and any future enhancements above. Watching each layer come together is a tangible reminder of the careful planning and skilled craftsmanship that go into every part of the Mikva project.

We’re so grateful to the workers and team making this possible, and we look forward to sharing the next steps as the building continues to take shape.

Stay tuned for more updates — every step brings us closer to creating a safe, serene, and beautiful Mikva for the community!

 

A Strong Roof for a Lasting Sanctuary

A Strong Roof for a Lasting Sanctuary

We’re excited to share another important step forward in the building process!

The roof of the Mikva building has needed major attention, and our team is hard at work repairing and reinforcing it to ensure the structure is strong, safe, and stable for years to come. A solid roof is essential not only to protect the building but also to create a secure foundation for all the beautiful spaces we’re bringing to life inside.

This phase may not be as visible as interior design or new construction, but it’s one of the most critical steps in making sure the Mikva will be a lasting sanctuary for generations of women.

We’re so grateful to the dedicated professionals working carefully through these repairs, and we look forward to sharing more progress as the project continues to take shape.

Stay tuned for more updates as we build together!

 

Inspired Design Brings Two New Preparation Rooms

Inspired Design Brings Two New Preparation Rooms

We’re thrilled to share a new design update! 

Our incredible architect and interior designer have reimagined the layout of the Mikva — placing the pool at the center of the building.

This creative redesign makes space for two additional preparation rooms surrounding the pool, allowing for better flow, more privacy, and a more spacious, serene experience overall.

We’re so grateful to be working with such a knowledgeable and thoughtful team. Their vision is helping us create a space that is both beautiful and functional — and we couldn’t be more excited about this meaningful progress.

Stay tuned for more updates as we bring this vision to life!

Expanding Possibilities

Expanding Possibilities

We’re excited to share the latest progress – this new extension maximizes our space and brings us one step closer to creating a beautiful indoor and rooftop area for connection and community.

In this phase of construction, we’re building out the extension that will help us make the most of what the Department of Buildings allows for a community space like this. Every inch matters when it comes to creating a place that serves and uplifts.

This addition not only expands the indoor space on the second floor, but it also opens the door to something beautiful — a rooftop area where women will be able to sit, learn, and enjoy time together in a calm, welcoming environment.

With each step, we’re getting closer to bringing the full vision of Chayala’s Mikvah to life.

 

Framing the Future

Framing the Future

The walls are going up! It’s an exciting moment as the exterior structure begins to take shape — a major milestone for the Chayala’s Mikva project.

We’ve maximized the space allowed under current zoning regulations, and this new addition will help us create a more complete and welcoming experience. Once the exterior is complete, we’ll begin transforming the interior into a beautiful oasis.

Looking ahead, the second floor will feature a small rooftop area — a thoughtful addition designed as a space where women can gather, learn, and connect.

Stay tuned for more updates and photos as we continue building this special place.
