Immersion: Loss, click to enlarge
We welcome Rachel to the Kol Emunah masthead! The blog graphic is a detail of her work Immersion: Loss. From time to time, we will be featuring a Shomrei artist on our blog in both the masthead and on the featured artist page. If you are an artist at Shomrei or know one who would like to be featured, let me know.

Many ceremonies have been written using a mikveh for new and inventive rituals.
“Immersion: Loss” is a spiritual mikveh and is to be used when getting to a mikveh is not possible or desired. Its use marks that time in life when you are faced with the knowledge that something important has ended. Prayers are recited that ask, plead and thank God for the strength and understanding to emerge from the loss renewed.
