Reply To: Toiveling Plastic Utensils????

BS”D

I am a lot older than you think :). I remember very well that no one toiveled plastic 20 years ago when I was 22 and buying stuff for my first apartment.

Sorry, SJS, but people trusting anything I may offer them or bring to shul is more important than worrying about a practice that is really harmless becoming the new standard. I just wanted to know if there is a reason for it; I’m not going to be the one who breaks the practice.

Worst thing that can happen is that when people go to haimishe stores to buy metal and glassware because of the mikve, they’ll buy plastic there too instead of spending gas money to save a few pennies buying it at a chain store, and more money will stay in the community.
