Here are links to the six posts I managed to make over the last couple of days at Gathering the Waters, the second international mikveh conference:

• Touring Mayyim Hayyim

• Why Now? Understanding the resurgence of mikveh in the context of contemporary American Jewish history

• Navigating Ambiguity, Rituals & Transitions

• Marking Life Transitions with Ritual Immersion

• The Emerging Mikveh Movement in Israel

• Ritual Hazing and Holy Vulnerability: Exploring Resistances to Mikveh

   

Deep thanks to all of the organizers and all of the presenters; this conference has been a great experience! Today (Tuesday) I hope to tweet occasionally about the presentations even though I won't be able to blog -- keep an eye on the #mikvehconf hashtag.
