After building his first mikva at Rabbi Moshe Aryeh Freund’s behest, Rabbi Waldman came to know the Chabad Rabbi of Chicco, Ukraine. Together they joined a respected mikva dayan (baal machshir), fully supporting the kehilla to fundraise, plan and build a kosher mikva.

When kehillas across Europe heard of its success they yearned to do the same. Requests for assistance and guidance in mikva and taharas yisroel started trickling in, and Rabbi Waldman answered the call by building a team of foremost mikva experts to serve these communities.
