SUMMER HEAT ADVISORY:
Please note the AC units in Mayyim Hayyim’s mikveh area are currently underperforming. We are working on a repair, but in the meantime, these areas can be hot, especially on high-temp days. We’ve taken a few measures to protect your comfort and wellbeing during this time, including setting up a seating area in a well-cooled and accessible area, opening windows, adding fans, and lowering the pool temperature.
If you are particularly sensitive to heat, we can provide you with resources to prepare for immersion at home. You can download our “Seven Kavanot (Intentions) for Mikveh Preparation” at this link; please get in touch if there are other resources you might need.
If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to us at info@mayyimhayyim.org, or 617-244-1836, ext. 205.
We look forward to welcoming you and ask that you review Mayyim Hayyim’s current Public Health protocols prior to requesting your appointment. Many other FAQ’s about the immersion experience, including preparation, immersion, and the role of the Mikveh Guide/witness can be found here.
Immersion in the mikveh itself is reserved for people who are Jewish or who are converting to Judaism. Mayyim Hayyim welcomes everyone to visit and participate in education programs, view the art gallery, accompany someone immersing, and tour the mikveh. Read more about our policy here.
Mayyim Hayyim is in the process of developing a new scheduling system that will increase the ease and accessibility of making an appointment. In the meantime, you may request an appointment through the form below. We will do our best to accommodate all requests however we ask for at least two business days’ notice whenever possible.
Contact us at info@mayyimhayyim.org or 617-244-1836, ext. 205 with any questions.
Please note that your appointment is not confirmed until you receive a confirmation email from info@mayyimhayyim.org.
Request a Conversion Immersion
CLERGY & CLERGY ASSISTANTS PLEASE NOTE: As of May, 2024, we are seeing the highest number of conversion requests in 15 years and are currently booking immersions as far as 2-3 months out. The further ahead you request your conversion, the more likely you are to get your preferred time. Thank you for your understanding.
