There's a lot of ritual immersion in the Jewish religion. Men immerse themselves in a Mikveh (ritual pool) before Yom Kippur, some before the sabbath/holidays... new dishes have to be immersed also in a Mikveh of their own called a Keilim Mikveh. Sometimes time is sh...ort and you gotta do what you gotta do... women will send their men to do double duty... immerse yourself and take these dishes with you. Not supposed to happen like that, but sometimes it does. Weird. Don't worry, the dishes get a good scrubbing afterwards :-)...and the ocassional man will step on a stray fork on the bottom of the pool. OY.
