Dr. Brown will speak on “Navigating Ambiguity: Mikveh and Transitions” at the conference, taking place Oct. 10 to 12 in Boston and including two dozen workshops, plenary sessions and area site visits.

Mayyim Hayyim received a Covenant Foundation Signature grant in 2007 for Mainstream: The Mikveh Outreach Initiative, which offers assistance to communities seeking guidance in starting a new mikveh or enhancing services at an existing one.

The Covenant Foundation is a sponsor of the October conference. For more information: www.mayyimhayyim.org.
