Question
My wife needs to immerse in the mikvah on the night after Rosh Hashanah. When should she prepare?
Answer
Hello,
Preparations should be done before Rosh Hashanah.
Care should be taken to avoid tangling the hair as much as possible and to avoid getting dirty with substances that are difficult to remove.
It is permitted to eat meat on Rosh Hashanah since it is a mitzvah meal. However, one must be very careful to clean the teeth thoroughly before immersion.
[The answer is regarding immersion on the night after R"H , but if you meant immersion on the night after Shabbat following R"H , then the washing and other preparations should be done on the night after Shabbat].
