Immersion Ceremonies

Mayyim Hayyim’s Ritual Creation Team has developed a library of original ceremonies to help personalize your mikveh experience.

Help us continue to develop new immersion ceremonies by making a donation to Mayyim Hayyim.

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.

Immersion Ceremonies

The following is a list of ceremonies available at Mayyim Hayyim to enhance your immersion. Some ceremonies are available to download below; additional individual ceremonies can be emailed to you upon request.
