Tevilas Ezra and Daily Mikvah

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

The Mishnah Berurah, the Sefer HaChinuch and the Maor VaShemesh still praise being machmir, and Rabbeinu Tam is brought teaching that tumah disturbs kavana. The conclusion is that by strict halacha the takana is nullified, yet there are very good reasons to keep it, and going every day adds kedusha and helps davening.

Key points

• In the Gemara in Bava Kamma, Ezra's tenth takana has a baal keri toivel even to learn Torah.
• The Mishnah Berurah calls tevila a good thing, and the Aruch HaShulchan says not to miss minyan for it.
• According to the Munkacher Rav, the main source for daily tevila is the last Rama in Hilchos Mikvaos.
