Hello Stan:

Forgive me in the event that somwone else has already mentioned it, and I
missed it, there is a Book called Waters of Eden written by Aryeh Kaplan
ISBN 1-879016-08-7 

>From the cover:

Waters of Eden is a revealing book that explodes old myths and prejudices
and offers insights never before available to the English reading public.
The author, Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan, gathers concepts from the Bible, Talmud,
Midrash, Kabalah, Zohar, Rashi, Rambam,Ba'al. Hatanya, Hirsch, and many
others.... It is the first attempt to explore ancient Jewish practice of
spiritual purification and immersion, lucidly and attractively in
contemporary English. 91pgs.

You can obtain a cataloge from Mesorah Publications Ltd. by calling
1-800-Mesorah. Many valuable educational tools available there.

Shalom Ken S.

        I would also suggest several other books by Rabbi Aryeh 
Kaplan:

#1) Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan Anthology I
#2) Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan Anthology II
#3) Made in Heaven: Info about the Jewish wedding

       I have purchased all three of these books.
