In this collection of almost fifty essays and stories about the mikvah (the Jewish ritual bath), women and men contribute their thoughts on this ancient Jewish tradition. The issues of mikvah and taharat hamishpachah (family purity) are addressed from philosophical, psychological, mystical, halachic (legal), practical, historical, and personal points of view. "Total Immersion" will both educate those who are unfamiliar with the mikvah ritual, and inspire those already accustomed to this central Jewish observance.
