Queer Mikvah
Sunrise is perhaps the holiest time of day. Join us for a water immersion experience. Do not let the intimidation of the early morning and cold water scare you off, this is one of the most transformative experiences of the year. We will gather and reflect on what we want to leave behind and take forward into a new Jewish year. We then enter the ocean in silence, in our own space and at our own pace. This is a spirituality elevating ritual to bring us into the month of Elul. RSVP for location and more details.
