Reply To: Toiveling Plastic Utensils????

BS”D

🙂 I said as part of the discussion that I thought it sounded like a shtus. If I knew it were a shtus it would only be because someone told me it was a shtus and/or that hardly anyone does it (or that it was something silly or harmful such as hmmm..kashering wood by libum LOL when we know that beyameinu only braces on teeth are kashered by libum). Instead I found one person who isn’t sure but does it anyway which is where I stood until I learned what I did here.

I then found out otherwise – and I am not surprised because you cannot possibly spread a shtus minhag across every continent except Antarctica including places where the mikveh could be a lake or river and toiveling anything takes mesiras nefesh (I know because I toiveled stuff in lakes and rivers after a mikveh was burnt down in Moscow and before a new one was built).
