Mikveh chol hamoed

Hi-
Is there anything different about preparing for the mikvah on Chol Hamoed?
Thank you (and chag kashair v'sameach.)



Dear questioner,

Thank you for your question.

No, nothing special to worry about on Chol Hamoed regarding preparation for the mikveh. You may cut your nails, shave etc., since you are doing them in preparation for the mitzvah of tevilah.

Chag Sameach!
