As shloshim (the 30-day Jewish mourning period following burial) ends, we pause to honor the memory of Jim Ball: beloved husband of our founder, Anita Diamant, and a cornerstone of Mayyim Hayyim. A devoted mikveh guide and pillar of the Boston Jewish community, Jim's kindness, humility and humor are forever intertwined with Mayyim Hayyim. We remain deeply grateful for the quiet love he poured into his family and our community. May his memory be a blessing.
