Is one required to immerse utensils abroad?
Question
My son is flying abroad for an extended period of study and needs to buy utensils, such as pots, cups, and the like. Is he required to immerse them there, or is there another way?
Answer
Hello and blessings,
One is required to immerse the utensils.
It is possible to check whether there is a kosher mikvah in the area where he will be staying. It is also possible to immerse the utensils in the sea.
With blessings,
Binyamin Shmuali
