Inhalt Mikvah: An ancient ritual bath in which Jewish women traditionally immerse after their monthly cycle and before the resumption of sexual relations. Also used for conversion.
Mikvah has been passed down from mother to daughter as a thoroughly private, even secret ritual. Today it is a many-faceted silent celebration of womanhood observed by a broad spectrum of Jewish women.
The Mikvah Project is a touring exhibit of photographs and interviews documenting the resurgence of the Jewish rite of immersion in a ritual bath. The ritual of immersion has been observed continuously for over three thousand years. Mikvah immersion as a religious obligation has long been held as sacred that some have risked imprisonment or death to maintain the practice.
The Mikvah Project documents a return to this long-hidden ritual and the powerful discoveries that come along with that process. Mikvah becomes a way to explore the subjects' lives.
