Mainstream: The Mikveh Outreach Initiative is an effort launched by Mayyim Hayyim in response to requests for information, consultation and resources for inquires from many communities across the United States, Israel and South America.
Mainstream:The Mikveh Outreach Initiative was established in 2007 to provide information and training to communities who contacted us in search of assistance.
In June 2006, Mayyim Hayyim co-hosted a national conference called
Pouring Ancient Waters into a Contemporary Vessel: Reclaiming Mikveh, organized by the Outreach Training Institute of the Union for Reform Judaism. Over 220 people from across the United States and Canada participated.
Building on the success of that conference and continued requests for information about Mayyim Hayyim's model and materials, Mainstream offered the first
National Mikveh Guide Training in the fall of 2008, which drew nineteen participants from thirteen communities - from California to Washington, DC.
