Mikveh Memories

Discover the fascinating history and revival of mikva'ot—ancient Jewish ritual baths—that have reemerged as meaningful heritage sites across Spain, Sicily and Israel. Mikveh Memories, taking place on Monday, March 31, at the Jewish Museum of Florida, features an insightful discussion led by Jaimie Luria, a renowned expert often referred to as the "Indiana Jones" of mikva'ot.

Luria will guide attendees through these historically significant sites in the Mediterranean, sharing how these ritual baths serve today as markers of cultural identity and memory within dynamic, evolving landscapes. The program offers an opportunity to gain deeper understanding into how Jewish traditions and heritage continue to adapt and resonate with contemporary audiences.
