When Words Won’t Come, The Mikveh is Here For Us
“May all who are suffering and mourning now find comfort and an end to violence. May water be plentiful and healing for all who need it in this time. And may all find gentle and loving places that allow us to express our grief, especially when we don’t have all the right words.”

Coming full circle, Mayyim Hayyim CEO returns to mikveh where she immersed to convert
Julie Childers started her work as CEO of the Mayyim Hayyim Living Waters Community Mikveh, the pluralistic ritual bath outside of Boston, in early July. But her history with the mikveh goes back to 2006, when she herself immersed there during her conversion to Judaism. The experience was “transformative,” she told eJewishPhilanthropy.
