Maayanot is an emerging inclusive mikveh,
a wellspring for healing, celebration, and transformation.

We are reclaiming and renewing mikveh,
the ancient Jewish ritual of full body water immersion,
for the Minnesota Jewish community.

Imagine. Build with us.

Maayanot is

welcoming, accessible, and inclusive —
an open mikveh for all Jews and those becoming Jewish. Maayanot invites participation across Jewish denominations, regardless of affiliation, and the entire spectrum of age, gender, sexual orientation, ability, and background.

Maayanot is

a new type of mikveh, ritual bath,
that will become
an essential spiritual center for Minnesota Jewish life.

Maayanot’s Mission

Our mission is to reclaim and renew the ancient Jewish ritual of mikveh immersion in a sacred space that provides a welcoming and meaningful way for all Jews, and those choosing Judaism, to mark life transitions.

“The old shall become new,
and the new shall become holy.”
