Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, Siman 131 Part 2/4

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

The Kitzur's halachos of Erev Yom Kippur go from asking forgiveness of the dead, through immersing in a mikvah and lighting candles, to the vidui said at Mincha. A thought brought from a talk the day before compares the mikvah to a return to the womb, where a person finds a new life.

Key points

• The Kitzur calls immersing on Erev Yom Kippur a mitzvah, for purity and as part of teshuva.
• On Erev Yom Kippur, the Kitzur lets a mourner in shiva immerse one or two hours before night.
• The Kitzur ties each house's Yom Kippur candle to the second luchos brought down that day.
