Last year, due to COVID-19 restrictions, consumers who were unable to tovel their new keilim (utensils) before Pesach were advised to make them ownerless (mafkir) to exempt them from tevilah.  This was a special leniency due to COVID-19 when the local mikvaos were closed.


This year, Boruch Hashem. those restrictions have been lifted as the mikvaos are open and have been deemed safe to use.  Accordingly,  before using those keilim which were made ownerless last year, one should ‘reacquire’ them by picking them up and then tovel them (with a bracha, if required).


Anyone who is still unable to arrange for the tevila of their kelim due to exigent circumstances should be in touch with us for further instructions.



Chag Kasher v'Sameach.
