Facelift at Hannaton The ONLY mikveh in the State of Israel not under the auspices of the Orthodox rabbinate is located on Kibbutz Hannaton. Light renovations are being made at the mikveh, including demolishing some walls in order to expand the building for educational programming.  The dream is to turn this building into a pluralistic Life Cycle Center for all Israelis and visiting Diaspora Jews.
 Much more work needs to be done and we are looking for your support. NAMING OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE!!
