The Jewish Innovation
In the near future, we hope to build a community mikveh: a sacred space where the diverse New York Jewish community can immerse for conversion and niddah (women’s monthly immersion), and for alternative rituals, like healing and life transitions.
Our work is imbued with three core values —
Ahavat Yisrael: Devotion to and Respect for all Jews
Actively building community across denominations and affiliations
Petichut: Openness
Creating an explicitly welcoming, safe, and accessible space for all who wish to enter
Hadesh yameinu k’kedem: Making New the Past
Re-imagining, reclaiming and renewing an ancient Jewish ritual
ImmerseNYC is fiscally sponsored by Jewish Jumpstart
The Impact
those who immerse regularly,
those who are skeptical of immersion and might say “mikveh?!?”
those who have not immersed,
and those who do not yet know about mikveh immersion.
We believe mikveh immersions can heal and transform individuals, who can then heal and transform communities, which contributes to the healing and transformation of our society.
