Elul Immersion (Mikveh) Ritual at the Beach with Rabbi Laila Haas

As we prepare for the High Holy Days, we gather at the ocean to immerse ourselves in the renewing and rejuvenating embrace of mayyim chayyim, living waters. This sacred act symbolizes our spiritual cleansing and readiness to begin a new year. We will participate in a Shabbat experience with song and prayer connecting us to the themes of introspection, repentance, and renewal and then enter the water together.

Wear a bathing suit or clothing that is comfortable to wear into the ocean.

We will meet at the South Beach Park Pavilion at 9:30 am. Want to ride together? Meet at the Schaefer Family Campus at 9:00 am to park and carpool together for easier parking!
