Question

Is it permissible to immerse in a stream during the thirty days of mourning?

Answer

Ashkenazim are prohibited from going to a spring for pleasure. Although in Eretz Yisrael and in hot places, bathing in cold water is permitted, this applies only to regular bathing, but bathing for pleasure in rivers is prohibited.
