# Some have the custom to wait until going to shul to make the bracha of netilat yadayim. Sephardim do not have this minhag. In any case, one should not make the bracha twice, once upon both waking up and once going to shul. <ref> Shulchan Aruch 6:2 </ref>

==Interruptions (Chatzitza) Between the Hand and Water==
==If There is Something on One's Hands==
#Anything that is considered an interruption between the body and water for tevilla is also regarded as such for [[Netilat Yadayim]]. The two things tat would qualify as an interruption are 1. that it covers most of the skin. 2. that it is something you do not want to always be there. <ref> Shulchan Aruch 161:1 based on gemara chullin 106b. </ref>
See the [[Chatzitza for Netilat Yadayim]] page.
#Most poskim hold that a ring should be removed, <ref> Shulchan Aruch 161:3, Mishna Brurah 161:17, Iggeros Chazon Ish 1:4. The Rama 161:3 adds that even though some are lenient in cases where the ring is loose, one should be machmir even though technically water could get through between the ring an one's finger. Kaf Hachayim 161:32 says that if you have an expensive ring that you are afraid to remove, then you can first pour a [[Revi'it]] of water on the right hand where the ring is, then move the ring a little and pour again, it needs to be noted that when one moves the ring it has to be done with a hand that has already been washed. Rav Chaim Kanievsky (Daat Noteh no. 256, footnote 249, p. 110) says that this requirement to remove the ring is only when washing for a meal, and therefore if the ring is loose you wouldn't need to remove it for the morning [[Netilat Yadayim]]. According to Mishna Brurah 161:19, Aruch HaShulchan 161:6, and Rivevot Ephraim 1:127 if someone does not remove their ring for anything, then they also would not have to for [[Netilat Yadayim]]. </ref> If a loose ring was not removed one need not repeat the washing. <ref> Mishna Brurah 161:18 </ref>
#One should remove the dirt under one's nails before washing one's hands. <ref> Ben Ish Chai Kedoshim 24. Shulchan Aruch HaRav 161:4 and Kaf HaChaim 161:4 say that this is only for dirt that is bothersome to somebody and therefore one would usually remove. </ref>
# If a person has something that cannot be removed covering his hand (a cast), one should wash the hand three times and make the bracha as usual. <ref> Yechave Daat 2:19, Kaf Hachayim 158:4. Aruch Hashulchan 163:2 says that the bracha should not be recited when only one hand is washed even if it was done so for a valid, permissible reason. </ref>
