Baptism of vessels manufactured by a company abroad

שו"תBaptism of vessels manufactured by a company abroad
שאל לפני 9 שנים

Hello Rabbi,
Should utensils manufactured by a company abroad be immersed in the blessing? On the one hand, it can be said that every rabbi is a rabbi. On the other hand, nowadays companies are usually traded on stock exchanges, and it is required that there be at least one shareholder who is Jewish in each company. Then, ostensibly, there is a partnership between a Jew and a Gentile. The question is whether it is appropriate to say here that the majority is entirely in terms of ownership of the company (a majority of Gentiles as full ownership by Gentiles). This also has implications for the matter of taking a loan from a bank abroad.

This is a question to which I have no clear answer, but from my understanding it seems that there is no need to immerse. In the current perception, a company is an independent entity and not a partnership (corporation), and certainly not a partnership between the shareholders, and certainly not those who are not the controlling shareholders. Therefore, in my opinion, it is very doubtful whether the law of immersing vessels applies to it at all (such an entity is neither gentile nor Jewish). Therefore, a majority or minority of Jewish or gentile shareholders and a majority or minority of companies are also irrelevant. Of course, there is no need to worry about the Akko-based manufacturers either (unless there is concern that non-kosher fat was used in the manufacturing process, etc.), since this is a new tool. I would not welcome this baptism.
