[Avodah] Mikvah for Geirus/Nidah

[Arie Folger]

RDR:I was hesitant to post about this, because it seems to be a practical
question, but if we're talking theory why should she need to toveil for
taharas hamishpacha? Non Jews aren't normally assurah mishum nidda ... and
at the time she becomes Jewish she's not in a state of nidda ...

R'n ISober: You are assuming this is her first tevilah l'shem geirus -
nowadays it is
quite common for people to convert multiple times as they become frummer and
the beit din that did the original O conversion is called into question for
some reason...

Well, in that case, we have another problem. If she is Jewish, then
she should do her tevilat niddah at night, except for extenuating
circumstances, mipnei serakh beitah. And if she is perhaps not Jewish
and is really converting, she needs to tovel by day, when Beit Din is
in operation.

So, if we have a giyur le'humra, she would either dip at the
inappropriate time for one or for the other.

Good week & good month,
