"The Mikvah Expert"

Two Rabbi's how many opinions?

Today (Wednesday, November 14) the "Mikvah Expert" Rabbi Gershon Grossbaum came to visit the site to make sure that the concrete forms for the Mikvah conform to Halachic standard.

What's that?

Today they began lowering specially built forms into the Mikvah hole. This will give them the ability to pour the cement for the Mikvah in the appropriate Halachic way.
