Nashville Chabad Dedicates Mikvah

Guests from around the country gathered this past Sunday to dedicate Mikvah Mei Chaya, the first Mikvah to be built in Nashville, Tennessee, in over fifty years.

As the sun was setting over the horizon, the soft, golden rays were shining onto the Tennessee stone at the entrance to Nashville's Mikvah Mei Chaya.

Guests from around the country, and representatives from across the Nashville community gathered this past Sunday to dedicate Mikvah Mei Chaya, the first Mikvah to be built in Nashville, Tennessee, in over fifty years.

This Mikvah is the crown jewel of the newly built Genesis Campus for Jewish Life, home of Chabad of Nashville, directed by Shluchim Rabbi Yitzchok and Esther Tiechtel. Six months earlier, Tennessee's Governor, Bill Haslam, dedicated the new Chabad Center, and now, the Nashville community gathered together to dedicate a luxurious new Mikvah for the Jewish women of Middle Tennessee.

The ribbon cutting ceremony was led by Shlucha Mrs. Esther Tiechtel, as she was joined by several key supporters, including Mrs. Judy Kilgore, Mohtaram Yazdian, and Karen Yazdian, whose family built the Mikvah and the new Chabad Center. The Mezuzah was affixed on the Mikvah entrance by Mr. Fred Yazdian and his brother, Mr. Abe Yazdian, together with Rabbi Yitzchok Tiechtel.
