Some say that since glass is smooth and hard, and even if it held hot foods, the taste of those foods is not absorbed into it and does not adhere to it. Therefore, even if glass <strong>kelim<\/strong> were used with prohibited foods or <strong>\u1e25ametz<\/strong> throughout the year, it is sufficient to clean them thoroughly to enable their use for kosher food or on Pesa\u1e25 (Raavyah, Rosh, Rashba, Ran, SA 451:26).<\/p>\n<p>Others disagree, saying that since glassware is made of sand, like earthenware, even if glass <strong>kelim<\/strong> do not actually absorb, they have the status of earthenware, which cannot be kashered. Therefore, if one used them with hot <strong>\u1e25ametz<\/strong> foods, there is no way to kasher them for Pesa\u1e25 (Rabbeinu Ye\u1e25iel, <strong>Smag<\/strong>, Rabbeinu Peretz, <strong>Terumat Ha-deshen<\/strong>, and Rema).<\/p>\n<p>Still other Rishonim adopt a middle position. In their view, glass <strong>kelim <\/strong>have the same status as metal <strong>kelim<\/strong>. If they were used with boiling hot <strong>\u1e25ametz <\/strong>food, they must be kashered by means of <strong>hagala<\/strong> in boiling hot water (Rambam, <strong>Or<\/strong> <strong>Zaru\u2019a<\/strong>, and <strong>Shibolei<\/strong> <strong>Ha-leket<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p>Many Sephardim follow the lenient opinion and kasher glassware by rinsing it only, and many Ashkenazim have the custom not to kasher glassware. In practice, however, it seems that the middle position, according to which glassware has the same status as metal <strong>kelim<\/strong> and can be kashered by means of <strong>hagala<\/strong>, is primary. Those whose family custom is to be lenient may maintain their custom, and those whose family custom is to be stringent should maintain their custom.<sup><a href='#_te01ftn11_12' id='_te01ftnref11_12' class='aup1'>[12]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<div>\n<hr size=\"1\" \/>\n<div>\n<a href='#_te01ftnref11_12' id='_te01ftn11_12'>[12]<\/a>. In <strong>Peninei Halakha: Kashrut <\/strong>32:5, n. 3, this issue is addressed extensively. The following is a summary: Most Sephardic rabbis rule leniently that glassware may be kashered by rinsing, in accordance with SA 451:26, <strong>Pri \u1e24adash<\/strong>, <strong>Shetilei Zeitim<\/strong>, and <strong>Sha\u2019ar Ha-mifkad<\/strong>. Many contemporary <strong>poskim<\/strong> ruled likewise, as cited by <strong>Alei Hadas<\/strong>, <strong>Netivei Am<\/strong>, <strong>Shemesh U-magen<\/strong>, and R. Ovadia Yosef. Some are stringent and require <strong>hagala<\/strong>, including: <strong>Rav Pe\u2019alim<\/strong>, R. \u1e24ayim David Ha-Levi, R. Mordechai Eliyahu, R. David Shloush, and R. Kapa\u1e25. It seems that in the past, glass was not strong and durable enough to be used in a <strong>kli rishon<\/strong> on a flame, so the Rishonim and <strong>Shul\u1e25an Arukh<\/strong>, who permit glassware with rinsing and without <strong>hagala<\/strong>, were referring to <strong>kelim<\/strong> whose most intense use was at the level of <strong>irui<\/strong> or <strong>kli sheni<\/strong>. There are also differences of opinion among Ashkenazic <strong>poskim<\/strong>. Rema 451:26 rules stringently that glass <strong>kelim<\/strong> cannot be kashered for Pesa\u1e25 by means of <strong>hagala<\/strong>, but <strong>be-di\u2019avad<\/strong>, if they were cleaned, hot food placed in these <strong>kelim<\/strong> is not forbidden (<strong>Darkhei Moshe<\/strong> 451:19; <strong>Taz <\/strong>451:30). According to MA 451:49, one may be lenient, <strong>be-di\u2019avad<\/strong>, only after kashering by means of <strong>hagala<\/strong>. <strong>\u1e24ok Yaakov <\/strong>451:68, SAH 451:73, <strong>Mekor \u1e24ayim <\/strong>451:46, and Maharsham concur. Some rule that <strong>hagala <\/strong>should be performed three times on glassware, because according to <strong>Itur<\/strong>, <strong>hagala<\/strong> three times is effective after 24 hours even for earthenware <strong>kelim<\/strong> (<strong>Tzitz Eliezer<\/strong> 9:26, quoting R. Tzvi Pesa\u1e25 Frank). Many have written that we rule stringently and do not kasher glassware only when it comes to <strong>\u1e25ametz<\/strong>, but one may kasher <strong>kelim<\/strong> from other prohibitions by means of <strong>hagala<\/strong>. This is the view of Maharam Brisk, <strong>Seridei Esh<\/strong>, <strong>Beit Avi<\/strong>, and <strong>Min\u1e25at Yitz\u1e25ak<\/strong>. According to <strong>She\u2019elat Ya\u2019avetz<\/strong> 1:67, technically one may kasher glass <strong>kelim<\/strong> by rinsing them, but due to the severity of the <strong>\u1e25ametz<\/strong> prohibition, the custom developed to avoid using them. <strong>Beit Le\u1e25em Yehuda<\/strong>, <strong>\u1e24amudei Daniel<\/strong>, and <strong>Yad Yehuda<\/strong> state similarly. Since there are differences of opinion among both Sephardic and Ashkenazic <strong>poskim<\/strong>, I wrote in favor of the middle position for all communities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A dispute arose in the time of the Rishonim regarding glass kelim.
