Ritualarium, formerly Arnold Toynbee
Hall. Since 1940 the building has housed a mikvah, a bathhouse for the ritual purification of Orthodox Jewish women and men. It is one of only three mikvot in Manhattan and the only mikvah that remains on the Lower East Side from the many that once dotted the area. |
