Welcome to MACoM
We are a strictly kosher and maximally inclusive space designed to meet the needs of the entire Jewish community. We value diversity and inclusivity and strive to be a welcoming, safe, and supportive environment for all who enter, no matter what their identity, Jewish background and affiliation, or reason for attending the mikvah. MACoM is dedicated to promoting the use of mikvah in both traditional and contemporary contexts. Immersing in the Mikvah is no longer just for Niddah and conversions.
Last year, more than 50% of the immersion which took place at MACoM were for non-traditional uses. Learn more here
What to expect when visiting MACoM
What is a mikvah?
A mikvah is a special pool of living waters that is used for Jewish ritual immersion, one of the most beautiful mitzvahs. A mikvah must contain a certain minimum quantity of water which has been gathered without being “drawn” by human hands or tools. Mikvah originated from Biblical and Rabbinic sources for ritual purification and transformation. Ritual immersion is a powerful way of connecting to yourself, to Jewish tradition, and to God. As the only inclusive, pluralist mikvah in Atlanta, we welcome you.
Why is MACoM Unique?
MACoM is the only mikvah in Atlanta open to the entire Jewish community regardless of one's affiliation, observance level, sexual orientation or capacity for physical mobility. The possibilities for traditional and modern immersions are almost limitless. Regardless of whether one is a regular user of the mikvah or has never been before, immersion in the mikvah is a way to acknowledge a life transition in a uniquely Jewish context.
