How many times does a ger tovel (immerse) when converting? I know that a ger immerses first then makes the bracha (can't make the bracha yet until the person becomes a Jew). Does the ger then immerse again after this a second time? If so why/what is the source for this?
Answer
See Shulchan Aruch Horav Hilchos Yom Kippur 606,12 (in the name of the Maharil-Mogein Avrohom) that the reason for Tevilah on Erev Yom Kippur is for Teshuvah like a Ger and therefore one needs to dip 3 times like a Ger does.
