May one immerse a new vessel (tevilat keilim) on Shabbat?
Synopsis
Major dispute. The Mechaber permits immersing new vessels on Shabbat (first opinion), but records a second opinion that forbids it. The Rema offers workarounds: give the vessel to a non-Jew as a gift and borrow it back, or if suitable, fill it with water from the mikveh.
