DAF DISCUSSIONS - SHABBOS 16

Chanoch Taub asked:

We learned on today's daf that a glass container that received impurities from a dead body retain these impurities. If you break the container the impurities leave. However, if you reassemble the impurities return . What about a case where you have a few containers one of which is impure. from the broken shards of these three you make one container parts of which came from an impure container.??

The Kollel replies:

The Mishnah in Kelim 11:4 tells us that we follow the Rov in such cases; if most of the material in the vessel came from Tamei Kelim, the new Kli is Tamei.
