"מודעה! ביד"צ החתום מטה מודיע בזה בשער בת רבים, שעלה בידינו לתקן מקוה כשרה ויפה לאנשים לבד ולנשים לבד ממעינות מים חמים שבמרחץ רייצענבאד באובן, … והעמדנו שמה אשה מלומדת שתהי’ לעזר לנשים…" (Notice! the undersigned Badatz publicly informs that we have managed to arrange a separate Mikveh for men and women from the hot springs of the Reitzenbad baths in Oben… and we have appointed a scholarly woman to help the women…" Signed: "פעשט חדש ניסן תרע"א לפ"ק בית דין צדק פק"ק תע"א".
