Question
Is it permitted to bathe during the thirty days of mourning?
Answer
According to Sephardic custom, one may bathe as usual, while according to Ashkenazic custom, it is customary not to bathe the entire body during the thirty days. However, in cold places or places with hot springs, it is permissible to bathe in cold or lukewarm water, as long as one does not derive pleasure from the heat.
