An Intimate Moment Together It is a widely accepted custom to immerse in the Mikvah, ritual pool, before Yom Kippur. Immersion in the Mikvah symbolizes becoming a new person and submerging one’s whole being in G-dliness as we bring in the New Year. It is also a profound and private time to pray for all your wishes. This year, JCS is offering to facilitate this conversation between you and your Creator.
