Great Questions I’ve Been Asked While Working As an Intern at Mayyim Hayyim
by Jordan Braunig, Hebrew College Intern
Last September I began an internship at Mayyim Hayyim working on a Men’s Initiative. I’ve had the opportunity to be trained as a Mikveh Guide along with a cohort of nine other guys. I was an attendee at an amazing event, Men, Mikveh and Malt, that took place at the Waterworks Museum in Chestnut Hill. I also had the chance to lead a Men’s Think Tank to discuss strategies for opening up Mayyim Hayyim more fully to the male-identified demographic. During this time I’ve been asked a lot of questions about Mayyim Hayyim, in general, and, more specifically, about my role here.
