Ancient Second Temple era mikveh serves Jews of all gender, denomination

Shmaya is the only mikveh in Israel with this mission, and includes among its diverse clientele people converting to Judaism not through the Orthodox Rabbinate.

The ancient Second Temple era mikveh is excavated in the Lower Galilee (L). It was moved to Kibbutz Hannaton and is now the modern mikveh Shmaya (R).
