This panel­ (with audience participation) will explore issues around mikveh, including asking who runs and designs mikvehs, who serves as the mikveh leadership and management team, and who makes the decisions that impact the users. Additionally, we will address the substantive issues that arise for women when using the mikveh (such as dealing with miscarriage), raising questions as to how the mikveh could respond to those needs. We will close by presenting our vision of a reimagined mikvah that serves as a larger resource to women in the community.
