in response to Grandmamarel:

Frozen fruits do not need to be checked because they is thoroughly washed before being frozen. Reply

I thought glass doesn't get unkosher and can nbe used for both milk and meat, so why, in the video, do they kasher it? Reply

in response to Liza:

The Torah does not explicitly mention glass, and the Halachic authorities debate the status of glass utensils. Some compare it to metal and therefore they may be Koshered. Others compare it to earthenware and therefore may not be Koshered. Others see the final product and since it is smooth and sealed it does not absorb anything and a good rinse suffices.

The Bais Yosef is the view that glass does not absorb and therefore glass only needs a rinse.
The Rema fuses the first two opinions and with regards to regular prohibitions it is like metal and may be Koshered. With regards to Chametz they may not be Koshered unless there is an extreme circumstance.
Thus, the prevailing custom among Sephardim is to be lenient with glass and just suffice with a good rinse.
Among the Ashkenazim they do Kosher glass year round but not for Pesach.

great video! really great video!

I wish they had a comprehensive video showing the various methods of kashering vessels, with demonstrations of each method, and explanation of various materials that than and can not be kashered. Reply

That would be nice for a view of how it's done.
For sure.
Personally I would not have any idea of the laws of why and how to do it on my own..
These people are trained from Torah and have a deep understanding and kavanah to preform these mitzvot. Right? Reply

"The Deed" is a very useful and interesting series. In this way the Jews of all over the word are able to study, understand and apply the fundamental topics of Judaism. A short final comment: can you do "audio & video" about Havdalah? Reply

Your series entitled "The Deed", is phenominal. Rabbi Kaplan is a wonderful orator, and the topics are so fundamentally important. Chabad keep up the GREAT work! I would like to add as a comment that you should advertise this series if not abroad at least more bold on your website. It has now become most people's favorite link. Reply
