The Mikvah Emunah Society of Greater Washington (MES) is pleased to offer use of the Wallerstein Mikvah in Kemp Mill to men on Erev Rosh Hashanah and Erev Yom Kippur 5786 (2025).  

1. There will be no showers for use at the mikvah.  Everyone must shower at home prior to arriving at the mikvah.
2. Bring a towel with you, as the mikvah is not able to provide towels for men’s usage.
3. Time in the mikvah is limited to 2 minutes per user.  If you have a minhag that requires more time, please discuss this with your rabbi. We need to adhere to this time frame to maximize access for all.
