-Going
to the Mikvah is one of the most important actions needed to remain pure.
-Every person should try to go every day, especially people living outside
the land of Yisroel.
-Those people that find it impossible to go every day, should at least
go on Erev Shabot.
-Erev Rosh Hashanah and Erev Yom Kippur are almost mandatary, who wants
to enter judgment in an impure state.
-If a person experienced a nocturnal emission (Mikre Liyla), he must do
everything in his power to go to the Mikvah as soon as possible.
-Most Mikvos open very early in the morning, some as early as 3:00 AM.
-Almost all Mikvos are clean and have showers.
-One should not worry about walking around with out clothes, for you can
wrap a towel around your self until the last second. One can also dip
in a river or lake.
-If a person tries as hard as he can and yet he finds it absolutely impossible
to go to a mikvah, then he should use one of these secondary methods of
purifying himself. Going to a Mikvah is a lot more powerful then these
methods, however these methods are much better then nothing at all.
Warning
these methods will not work for a women, she is a Niddah until she goes
to a proper Mikvah.
-The
first method involves rinsing the body in Nine Kavim of water.
-The nine kavim equal around 12.5 litters of water.
-The water should be poured on the person from his head down running on
his entire body.
-If a person is using a shower he should stay under water for around two
minutes, then he should close the faucet and wait until it stops dripping.
Then repeat this for a total of nine times.
-Since the real method requires that the water be poured by a second person
from a single large bucket, we recommend that a person should also do
the following method as well.
-The second
method involves the rinsing of the hands forty times.
