Queer Jews everywhere are turning ritual on its head and pushing our communities to be radically accessible. A mikveh for everybody and every BODY! Click below to learn more about The Queer Mikveh Project and watch a trailer for their new documentary.
Whether you're dunking for conversion, before marriage, for niddah, or for any other reason, here's what to expect at the ritual bath.
Our sincerest MAZAL TOV to our friends at Rachel’s Well Community Mikvah on their grand opening today! If you are in the Portland area and looking for a mikveh, be sure to visit.
This year, we are renaming our #GivingTuesday campaign “Guiding Tuesday” to celebrate the incredible contribution that Mikveh Guides make to Mayyim Hayyim. Look out for our “Guiding Tuesday” campaign on November 28!
On this #GivingTuesday, we are saying THANK YOU to our wonderful Mikveh Guides!
Mikveh Immersion Ceremonies
Mayyim Hayyim's Ritual Creation Team has developed a library of original ceremonies to help personalize your mikveh experience.
Every ceremony includes a pre-immersion kavanah (intention), blessings or kavanot (intentions) to follow three immersions, and a concluding reading. Ceremonies may include songs, contemporary poems, and traditional liturgies. They can be read privately, with the assistance of a Mikveh Guide, or with friends and family.
