Jewish Law Expert Addresses Ritual Immersion Before High Holidays

As the Jewish High Holidays approach, Rabbi Yaakov Sinai addressed the practice of ritual immersion, known as mikveh, for men. In his daily "Seder Halacha" segment, the rabbi discussed the custom of immersion before Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

For those unable to access a ritual bath, Rabbi Sinai offered alternatives, including using a home shower or performing a ritual hand washing. The segment also touched upon related topics, such as whether fish should be eaten on Rosh Hashanah when it falls on a Shabbat.

Separately, the article mentions that the eldest grandson of the Belzer Rebbe announced that thousands of yeshiva students will pray separately for the upcoming holidays, with further details provided.
