Buying Silver Kiddush Cup

Does one have to make a sheyanu on a brand new silver kos? If one buys it from Hadad brothers (A company that makes silver kosos in Israel-bnei brak) is tevilos kelim necessary? Can this be purchased during sefira?

Answer:

This can be purchased during the sefirah.

If it is a nice kiddush cup, which brings its purchaser joy, the Shehecheyahu berachah should be recited.

Tevilah is not required, unless the cup is produced entirely by non-Jews, and Hadad only import it.

In general, Hadad is known as a manufacturer of silverware, and tevilah will therefore not be required.
