Mission and Values

The Rising Tide Network has moved to the Mayyim Hayyim website.

Please visit www.mayyimhayyim.org/risingtide to get up-to-date information about memberships, events, and resources.

The mission of the Rising Tide Open Waters Mikveh Network is to inspire, strengthen and support communities that embrace an open, inclusive and welcoming approach to ritual immersion as a way to mark life transitions.

 

We believe that providing for the spiritual needs of the entire spectrum of Jewish people will help create a more vibrant, welcoming, and inclusive community for everyone.

 

Our goal is to foster a network so comprehensive that no one will have to travel far to access a Rising Tide mikveh experience.

Statement of Values

Rising Tide is a group of diverse organizations united by common values:

Mikabel / Welcome
We aim to provide the best possible experience for all visitors to our mikva’ot. We are committed to meeting their needs in open, inclusive, and accessible spaces.

 

Kevah & Kavanah / Structure & Intention
We believe that the most successful ritual experiences exist at the intersection of tradition and modernity.

 

Tz’micha / Growth
We are committed to growth and to the process of continuous learning; individually, as organizations, and as communities– there is always more to learn and to teach.

 

Shutafut / Partnership
Rising tides raise all boats. We recognize that our organizations’ individual progress and our network’s collective success are inextricably linked.
