#481 Should I Toivel the Gift?

Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit"a opinion is that if the glass jar is used only for the storage of food and not for eating directly from it, it is denominated a k’li oitzer or a storage vessel and does not require tevilah. This is not only true for the giver, who is not using the vessel, but also for the receiver, especially when it is only glass and not a metal vessel. (See also Chelkas Yaakov Y.D. 2: 57, Igrois Moshe Y.D. 2: 40, Tevilas Kelim 4:14)
