Welcome to The National Capital Mikvah
Serving the Jewish community in the heart of Washington, D.C.
About Us
The National Capital Mikvah opened in 2005 after years of preparation, built under the supervision of R’ Gershon Grossbaum. Our primary purpose is to serve the taharat hamishpacha needs of married women. We have men’s hours before the yamim noraim and festivals, and we also serve brides and grooms before their wedding day.
Convenient Location
Located in Georgetown, the National Capital Mikvah is the only mikvah in downtown Washington, D.C. and perfect for both residents and visitors.
Volunteer Run
We are an all-volunteer organization, and operate on an appointment-only basis. Please contact us at least 48 hours by sending an email to appointments@dcmikvah.org.

אָמַר רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא, אַשְׁרֵיכֶם יִשְׂרָאֵל, לִפְנֵי מִי אַתֶּם מִטַּהֲרִין, וּמִי מְטַהֵר אֶתְכֶם, אֲבִיכֶם שֶׁבַּשָּׁמַיִם, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (יחזקאל לו), וְזָרַקְתִּי עֲלֵיכֶם מַיִם טְהוֹרִים וּטְהַרְתֶּם. וְאוֹמֵר (ירמיה יז), מִקְוֵה יִשְׂרָאֵל יְיָ, מַה מִּקְוֶה מְטַהֵר אֶת הַטְּמֵאִים, אַף הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא מְטַהֵר אֶת יִשְׂרָאֵל
