Appearing in this months issue of the OK Kosher's Kosher Spirit Magazine is a Halachic question “is it permissible to have an alcoholic drink from a clean glass at a bar/lounge?”

Rabbi Hanoka responds:

First, we have to look at the question from a halachic perspective. Is cold liquid in a non-kosher vessel permissible? The simple answer is that one is allowed to use a clean non-kosher vessel for cold liquids on a temporary basis, as long as one does not have the liquid sitting in the vessel for 24 hours (the time it takes for kovush – pickling). Halacha requires all non-kosher vessels to be cleaned before use. One can rely on the fact that a reputable establishment keeps all items clean to comply with health regulations.
