#Some have the practice to dip (Tovel) in the mikvah on [[Erev Yom Kippur]] and it's preferable to do so before [[Mincha]] but some have the practice to do it after Seuda Mafseket as long as one does it before nighttime. <ref>Shulchan Aruch 606:4, Rosh Yoma 8:24, Mishna Brurah 606:17-8. The Maharil (Erev Yom Kippur n. 3) writes that one should dip after Seuda Mafseket in order to dip as close to actual day of Yom Kippur since the dipping is also to encourage Teshuva. He explains even a person who is completely pure, for example a person who dipped on Erev Rosh Hashana and didn't see an emission, should dip on Erev Yom Kippur in order be involved with Teshuva. </ref> Some say that one should does it after 5 halachic hours into the day but if one is unable one may do it after [[Olot HaShachar]] (dawn). <ref>Yalkut Yosef 606:4(1). for more on the proper time see Moed Likol Chai 12:11 </ref> | #Some have the practice to dip (Tovel) in the mikvah on [[Erev Yom Kippur]] and it's preferable to do so before [[Mincha]] but some have the practice to do it after Seuda Mafseket as long as one does it before nighttime.<ref>Shulchan Aruch 606:4, Rosh Yoma 8:24, Mishna Brurah 606:17-8.
