Tevilath Keilim in a creek or other natural body of water


Are there any special rules to be aware of in order to do Tevilath Keilim in a creek or other natural body of water, as compared to a Mikvah?



Answer



The Kitzur Shulchan Aruch Chapter 162 (translation here) talks about ritual immersion in a river, and cautions that according to many Rabbis, if the river's water is from rainwater (and not a spring) it is not valid. See there for more details.
