Securing the Future of Iowa’s Jewish Community for Generations to Come

A modern mikveh rooted in tradition, the Louis & Marilyn Hurwitz Community Mikveh will serve as a spiritual and education center for mikveh in the Midwest.


Now is the time. Des Moines is the place.

Des Moines has the largest Jewish population in the state, and has become central in supporting communities across Iowa. After the closures of Beth El Jacob Synagogue in Des Moines and the Quad Cities Jewish Community Center, the state was left without a community mikveh open to all Jews regardless of their affiliation. This new mikveh will ensure the legacy and continuation of the Jewish community in Des Moines and all of Iowa for generations to come.

Today’s Modern Mikveh

A center of healing, ritual, and celebration.

Building for the Future

A beautiful facility built to stand the test of time.
