<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>R' Yitzchok Levine quoted from the "OU Kosher Halacha Yomis":<br><br>> Rav Belsky, zt"l ruled that one may immerse the utensils in a lake,
provided that it has not rained in the last few days.<br><br></div>I was hoping that if I went to the source, there would be additional information and/or sources. But there's not. You can find this yourself by going to <a href="https://oukosher.org/halacha-yomis/">https://oukosher.org/halacha-yomis/</a> and entering "lake" or "rained" in the Search box there.<br><br></div>Here's my question: Why would recent rain disqualify a mikveh? Given that a mikveh is a collection of rainwater, I would imagine that rain is a *good* thing for a mikveh.<br><br></div>(My apologies if this is a very basic halacha. Mikveh is one of the many areas that I know very little about.)<br><br></div><div>advTHANKSance!<br></div><div><br></div>Akiva Miller<br></div>
