The Mikvah is situated in the heart of Nature

where living waters from three warm water 

springs flow into Wildcat Gulch.  The continual 

flow of artesian water into the pool fulfills the 

Jewish requirements of “mayeem hayem,”

an obligation that the Mikvah receives

“living water.”  Surrounded by overhanging

gardens, the pool is visited hourly by

dragonflies, butterflies, and small fish,

thereby reinforcing the commitment that the

Mikvah is a living sanctuary.  Rock terraces

have been carved into the hillsides, replete

with garden beds planted with medicinal

herbs whose intertwining roots secure the

valuable topsoil and stabilize the fragile slopes
