Must an Aluminum Drink Bottle be Immersed?
Question
Hello and greetings, does an aluminum drink bottle require immersion? Thank you very much
Answer
Hello,
Any eating utensil made of aluminum and manufactured in a factory owned by non-Jews must be immersed with a blessing (as stated in the book of immersing utensils, Chapter 11, Section 3). Therefore, a reusable aluminum drink bottle is required to be immersed (see Responsa Yabi'a Omer, part 7, part Yoreh De'ah, section 9, end of paragraph 3, and in the book of immersing utensils, Chapter 4, sections 12-13).
Best regards,
Hillel Meirs
