Putting on Tefillin after sunset:
If a person is doing Mivtzoim, (reaching out to others to encourage them to perform Mitzvot) and after sunset meets a Jew who has not yet donned Tefillin that day, what should he do?
Answer: He should put the Tefillin on him after sunset if it is before the stars have come out (according to the regularly accepted time – not according to the Rabbeinu Tam system), but he should not say the blessing with him. It is best to do it in a private place

There are two aspects to going to the Mikveh: 1. Immersion in accordance with the ruling of Ezra HaSofer, which is done in case there was nocturnal emission, and is therefore very important. 2. Immersion for the sake of additional purity, and for this purpose if you have difficulty in going, you can say Mishnayot from Seder Taharot.
