(IsraelNN.com) Biometric machines were recently installed by Skverrer Chassidim at the entrance to a Petach Tikva mikveh (ritual bath), according to LaDaat.net. Men who use the mikveh on a daily basis who previously swiped a magnetic card to enter the mikveh can now have a machine read their fingerprint to gain entrance to the mikveh.

Officials from the Skverrer community stated that the biometric machines are cost-cutting measures which eliminate the need to distribute magnetic cards to subscribers. The operators said that another advantage in using the hi-tech device is that it will prevent the legitimate subscriber from passing his card to another family member, which could rob the mikveh facilities of entrance fees.
