Queer Mikveh Project

The Queer Mikveh Project is a community, an advocacy tool, and an art practice. It is a group of organizers, artists, clergy, filmmakers, and scholars who, together, are enlivening the ancient practice of mikveh for Queer, Trans and Gender Diverse Jews who seek deep connection to their roots and earth-based Jewish practices.

Queer Mikveh Project’s kavannah, our intention, is to reawaken the practice of mikveh for Queer Jews as a living liberation praxis; their values are to heal from assimilation and white supremacy by renewing Judaism through relevant embodied rituals and art, and their integration with social justice work. It does this through through 1) community mikveh immersion events, retreats and trainings, 2) community art, 3) interactive media, 4) a comprehensive website dedicated to connecting queer Jews across the world through the power of mikveh.
