Mayyim Hayyim is a mikveh - a ritual bath - and much more. We hope you'll find our website to be full of fascinating information, insights, and surprises. We look forward to hearing from you.
Welcome to Mayyim Hayyim Living Waters Community Mikveh and the Paula Brody & Family Education Center in Newton, MA.  Mayyim Hayyim is a threshold into Jewish life—a place where the spiritually diverse needs of 21st century Jews are met by reclaiming the ancient tradition of immersing in the mikveh.

Mayyim Hayyim completes sculptural bench community art project - thank you to all who participated!
 

To recognize and honor survivors of abuse within the Jewish community and beyond, Mayyim Hayyim, together with volunteers, just created a sculptural bench as part of the Embracing Waters Initiative: Raising Awareness and Training Around Abuse. The bench offers visitors a place to rest, to contemplate, and to feel supported. Building the bench itself was a healing process for those who participated – survivors and allies. Click here to read more about one volunteer's experience building the bench.

Please join us on Sunday, October 24 at 1:00PM when we gather to dedicate the bench and celebrate this communal statement of support. With many thanks to the Harmon and Jaye families for bringing this dream to fruition.
