Tiferet Rabbi Akiva (TRA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to building and renovating mikvahs — sacred ritual baths — in Jewish communities around the globe. From Nigeria to Japan, from Alaska to Bulgaria, we are ensuring that every Jewish community has access to dignified, beautiful, and halachically meticulous facilities.
Inspired by the story of Rabbi Akiva, who at age 40 watched a drop of water carve through stone and was moved to begin his Torah journey, we believe in the transformative power of persistent, purposeful action. One drop at a time, we are building the sacred infrastructure that sustains Jewish life worldwide.
