    The Eruv is checked every Friday to ensure that it is kosher for Shabbat. You can also call the shul office to check if the Eruv is kosher for that week. It is helpful to check the Eruv map to be aware of changes that may have been made that might affect you.

    Only the Eruv in Vancouver is current. There is no eruv in Richmond.

    To book an appointment click here.

    As a courtesy please try to give our volunteer attendants at least 24 hours notice when calling. If you are not able to do this, you may not get your first choice of times. As always, women are welcome to request a different attendant from the one listed, but that attendant must make contact with the scheduled attendant, whose appointment scheduling takes priority. If you have any questions please call Sarah Berger.

  • Men

    The Mikveh will be available for men to use on alternating Friday mornings between 10 am-12 pm. Each person will be given a 15 minute slot so that the Mikvah can be properly sanitized between each usage. Please enter from the backdoor of the Synagogue (not the Mikvah entrance) and someone will let you in.

    In keeping with the current mikveh safety policy, showers and toilets are not currently available. If you would like to make an appointment, email or call the shul's office.

    Please make an appointment for the immersion of vessels, by calling the synagogue office.
