Friends,
I just want to make you aware of this very exciting conference in Boston
this June
Reclaiming Mikveh: Pouring Ancient Waters into a Contemporary Vessel
http://mayyimhayyim.org/Conference/default.asp
This historic gathering-the first conference of its kind-focuses on a
remarkable phenomenon in contemporary Jewish life: the growing number of
Jewish men and women who are finding deep meaning in the ancient
wellspring of mikveh. Reclaiming Mikveh brings together clergy,
educators, academics and Jewish leadership from across the country in a
revolutionary exploration on immersion as a source of spiritual renewal
and understanding. Nationally renowned keynote speakers, workshop
leaders and leading thinkers will gather for a lively, in-depth
examination of mikveh and its possibilities, including new uses and
rituals. Pre-conference highlights include a seminar on "The Seven Steps
for Creating a New Sacred Space in Your Community" and a special evening
performance of The Mikveh Monologues, a moving theatrical piece by Anita
Diamant and Janet Buchwald with original music. Each conference
registrant will receive a complimentary "Immersion Gift Certificate" for
use at Boston's Mayyim Hayyim Living Waters Community Mikveh and
Education Center.
