The reknown Chassidic Rabbi Shia H. forms part of the Rabbinical Court in New York.

One of his major specialties and accomplishments is the designing and building of Mikvot for Jewish communities primarily in the U. S. and Latin America.

Rabbi Shia H. was born in Brooklyn, New York, being the ninth of 14 children, all dedicated to Judaic pursuits.


He studied and has degrees from two Yeshivot in Jerusalem: Adnei Avner Nezer and Mir Israel.

Two Chalachic books were written by him: Toras Oeif and Toras Alechem.

The beautiful Mikveh and Preparation Rooms at this Centro Social Israelita de Baja California in Tijuana were designed by Rabbi H. who also supervised each step of the building process.

Rabbi H. came to Tijuana on October 17th. and pronounced the Mikveh Kosher and ready to be used.

We wish to thank Rabbi Shia H. for his intense dedication and complete help in our pursuit of having our Centro offer to our Tijuana community and also the surrounding areas the use of this beautiful Mikveh.

These following Mikvot were also built by Rabbi Shia H:

  1. Guatemala City
  2. Stodom
  3. S Wanscott, MA
  4. Virginia
  5. Ft. Worth, Texas
  6. Pittsburgh, PA
  7. Fallsburg, N Y (two of them)
  8. Canton, MA

His next Project will be in Peru where we wish him all the success in the world.
