The mission of the Rising Tide Open Waters Mikveh Network is to inspire, strengthen and support communities that embrace an open, inclusive and welcoming approach to ritual immersion as a way to mark life transitions.

We believe that providing for the spiritual needs of the entire spectrum of Jewish people will help create a more vibrant, welcoming, and inclusive community for everyone.

Our goal is to foster a network so comprehensive that no one will have to travel far to access a Rising Tide mikveh experience.

1. Mikabel – Welcome
   We aim to provide the best possible experience for all visitors to our mikva’ot. We are committed to meeting their needs in open, inclusive, and accessible spaces.
2. Kevah & Kavanah – Structure & Intention
   We believe that the most successful ritual experiences exist at the intersection of tradition and modernity.
3. Tz’micha – Growth
   We are committed to growth and to the process of continuous learning; individually, as organizations, and as communities– there is always more to learn and to teach.
4. Shutafut – Partnership
   Rising tides raise all boats. We recognize that our organizations’ individual progress and our network’s collective success are inextricably linked.
