Immersion on the Eve of the Festival

Question

Is there an obligation to immerse before the festival if a person is not impure due to seminal impurity?

Answer

Shalom and blessings 

The main reason is due to the impurity of seminal emission.

However, it is customary to be strict about immersing on the eve of Yom Kippur in any case.
