Mikveh after Purim
February 19, 2013

Question

I am going to the mikvah motzei Purim and I was wondering if there is anything I need to do differently or is it the same as usual? Also can I go after all the celebrations or should I try to go right away?

Answer

There is nothing that you need to do differently. As the seudah on Purim is a mitzvah, you are permitted to eat meat, taking care that it doesn’t get caught between your teeth and cleaning your teeth well when preparing for mikveh. You can tovel at any point that night, even after the celebrations, but you may want to check with your local mikveh what the hours of operation are.
Happy Purim.
