Are there any Messianic Jews who go to the mikvah and if so, where?
I am a Christian with some Jew in my ancestry. I have been reading about mikvah and am quite drawn to it.
Thank you.
I am not a Messianic Jew.. and our congregation goes to the local creek for mikvah [baptism of faith]

As far as mikvot the only one we have in my city is at the Orthodox synagogue and they are very strict about not allowing Messianic Jews to mikvah there.
One of the gals at my Messianic synagogue took two other gals with her to a secluded river where no one else was as lookout for her as she mikvahed.
I see no reason why a Messianic Jew should not be able to mikvah.

Yes I agree, that I have found no regulation that would explain the reason a Messianic Jew would be excluded from the Mikvah. We are free to build our own I suppose. It is one of my projects I hope to get to this winter. Just need to find the special supplies.

What "plans" are you using to build it?
Do Messianics have a set criteria as to
how it should be built?
No but if orthodox Judaism has some good examples... we may take some of their ideas and incorporate them into our own.

There is no halacha in place that governs this issue? I'd think there would be if it were so important to Messiahists.

Because we don't wait on formality.... Acts 8:36
As they traveled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said, "Look, here is water. Why shouldn't I be baptized?"

So are you guys talking strictly about baptism? Or an actual mikvah to use for halachic purposes like taharat hamishpacha?
