A wild once-in-a-lifetime snow trip.
A Mikvah must be filled with pure rain water that drains from the roof directly into the pit beneath the immersion pool.
If a Mikvah is:
A ) In a climate where it only rains for half a year and
B ) Completed just at the end of said half year
a snow-collecting expedition ensues wherein 14 Yeshivah students and volunteers make an 8-hour trip to Mt. Rose (Reno) and shovel 475 bags of snow into the back of a refrigerated truck to be greeted by 40 members of the community upon it's return and loaded directly into the Mikvah.
History has been made!
