Join us for a "quikvah"--a quick purifying mikvah dip before Yom Kippur. Last year a few hardy souls did a dry run (no, a wet run!) and the experience was very satisfying, so this year we're extending an open invitation to all of CABI. We can assure you that the water temperature will be perfect for renewal! Meet us at the north shore of Quinn's Pond, nearest to the Idaho River Sports building.

There are at least a couple of reasons to do this immersion:
1. To be ritually pure in preparation for Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the year.
2. As a symbol of conversion. Just as a convert immerses in a mikvah and becomes a new Jewish person, so too, during the Days of Awe we all want to do teshuvah (repentance) and become new people.
