Mikveh Use in the Age of COVID-19: An Open Conversation for Visitors, Volunteers, and Staff 

How do we relate to mikveh in abnormal times of restriction and essential needs? Is it still safe to immerse? Do I feel safe to immerse, even if I’m told it is safe? Are there alternatives to mikveh at a time like this? What are the current rabbinic conversations around mikveh use? Join Rising Tide for a panel discussion as we grapple with these new realities of our day.
