Mikvah Tahara - Young Israel of Tampa (Chabad)

You must reserve 3 days in advance. It costs $36 per visit

Miscellaneous
Eruv
The Orlando Torah Center shul is within the boundaries of the eruv. The eruv includes the subdivisions of Sand Lake Hills, Orange Tree, Palm Lake area, parts of Hidden Springs and Bay Park. The sidewalks on Wallace and Apopka-Vineland Rd. are not included in the eruv boundaries. For specific questions, you may call the Orlando Torah Academy Tourist Hotline - 407-412-319tesha
For Pesach, we our eruv experts put up eruvin in various developments (some public, some private). We can build eruvin from scratch in your neighborhood as well, providing we are able to get permission. However, these are not cheap propositions. Manual labor, design, and installation as well as take down, do cost.
Tevilas Keilim
1) Lake Downs Boat Ramp
9619 Conroy Windermere Rd, Windermere, FL 34786
(This is quite far from the Kissimmee tourist development areas (Champions Gate, Reunion, Encore, Solterra etc), but only about 10 minutes from the Kosher Winn Dixie on South Apopka Vineland Rd. We recommend this one as it is very easy to dip off the boat ramp, and if something falls in, it’s only about a little more than a foot deep (Depending on the tide). This is the one used by us locals.
Pro Tip! : There is no need to worry about alligators. Keep an eye out, and don't go if you see one right there, but you are very unlikely to see one when you go to toivel
Speak to your LOR but a keilim mikvah is not simple; you can't use your pool and man made lakes are not really usable according to many, either. Best is to go to google maps and find a lake with a name on it (those are typically larger lakes; not man made). There are many lakes; any named lake should be fine but be prepared to get wet, boat ramps work best.
2) Davenport- closer to Kissimmee and Renunion
Poitras Rd 2, Davenport, FL 33897, USA
