ImmerseNYC Details
What We Do ImmerseNYC is a pluralistic, Jewish, feminist organization in New York City that facilitates deep ritual experiences, supportive peer communities, and educational programs. Deep Ritual Experiences: Our trained, volunteer mikveh guides facilitate welcoming, transformative mikveh immersions for our diverse Jewish community, which honor the sacred nature of our lives, bodies, and experiences, and reclaim an ancient ritual for a new world. Educational Programs: We organize workshops and events about mikveh, feminism, and life transitions for adult learners, community groups, religious schools, seminary students and clergy. Supportive Peer Communities: Our peer facilitators convene community conversations in which people of all genders can share their stories, push back against unhealthy pressures, experience rituals together, and hold non-judgmental conversations about life transformations that foster growth and connection Who We Are and Who We Serve Our staff, board, mikveh guides, and salon facilitators include rabbis, educators, parents, young people, men, unaffiliated Jews, queer Jews, Jews of color, and observant women from across the spectrum of Jewish identity. Community members immerse to mark experiences of transition such as healing, conversion, niddah (women's monthly immersion), b'nei mitzvah, and many others. ImmerseNYC mikveh guides serve our community's "four children:" those who immerse regularly, those who are skeptical of immersion and might say ‘mikveh?!?,' those who have not immersed, and those who do not yet know about mikveh immersion. We model the Jewish community we want to see: a pluralistic network where Jews support one another through life transitions with love and authenticity.
