# One can answer [[amen]], [[kaddish]], [[kedusha]] and [[barchu]]. <Ref> Tehilat LeDavid 181:2 says not to answer just like one juxtaposes Geula to Tefilah. However the Halacha Brurah 181:5 disagrees based on a Sfek Sfaka that maybe one can go like those who allow speech between mayim achronim and [[Birkat HaMazon]] and maybe one can go like those who say that one can answer devarim shbekedusha between Geula and Tefilah. Additionally it’s a mitzvah that’s fleeting. </ref> | # One can answer [[amen]], [[kaddish]], [[kedusha]] and [[barchu]]. <Ref> Tehilat LeDavid 181:2 says not to answer just like one juxtaposes Geula to Tefilah.

# Preferably, one shouldn’t wait or do actions unrelated to Brikat HaMazon more than 12 seconds; those who wait for everyone to wash their hands have what to rely on. <Ref> Bach 179, Pri Megadim 179;A”A 1, Mishna Brurah 179:1 in name of the derech hachaim that one should rewash, taz 181:3 says one can wait for 4 people to wash hands after you, so says the lavush 181:6, Olat tamid 181:4, magan Avraham 181:5, shulchan aruch harav 181:5 Mishna brurah 181:15, kaf hachaim 181:18, peulat tzaddik 3:71, yabea omer Y”D 2:1(11). The stringency of unrelated actions is sourced in the ritva hilchot [[brachot]] 3:17,6:21 and brought simlairly by kesef Mishna [[Brachot]] 6:20. </ref> | # Preferably, one shouldn’t wait or do actions unrelated to Brikat HaMazon more than 12 seconds; those who wait for everyone to wash their hands have what to rely on. <Ref> Bach 179, Pri Megadim 179;A”A 1, Mishna Brurah 179:1 in name of the derech hachaim that one should rewash, taz 181:3 says one can wait for 4 people to wash hands after you, so says the lavush 181:6, Olat tamid 181:4, magan Avraham 181:5, shulchan aruch harav 181:5 Mishna brurah 181:15, kaf hachaim 181:18, peulat tzaddik 3:71, yabea omer Y”D 2:1(11).

# In our time that everyone reads [[Birkat HaMazon]] one should try to have multiple vessels so everyone doesn’t have to wait long until [[Birkat HaMazon]]. <Ref> Biur Halacha | # In our time that everyone reads [[Birkat HaMazon]] one should try to have multiple vessels so everyone doesn’t have to wait long until [[Birkat HaMazon]]. <Ref> Biur Halacha s.v. Min Hakatan. However, in earlier times, only one would say [[Birkat HaMazon]]. Accordingly, S”A 181:6 rules the one doing the [[Birkat HaMazon]] should be the first to wash but if there’s more than 5 people washing, then they begin washing from the least important person until there’s 5 people left and then the one doing [[Birkat HaMazon]] washes. </ref> | ||

# One should wash up to the second set of knuckles on one's fingers and on one's thumb one should wash up to the first knuckle. It’s preferable to be strict for the opinion that one should to wash the entirety of one's fingers. <Ref> Based on Rashba Torat Bayit 6:1 and Raavad, the S”A 181:4 rules that one should wash one's fingers up to the second row of knuckles. Rabbenu Bechaye in Shulchan Shel Arba, however, requires one to wash one's whole finger. Mishna Brurah 181:10 quotes Talmedei Rabbenu Yonah who say that the thumb must only be washed up to the first knuckle. Halacha Brurah 181:11 agrees.

# There’s no Bracha for Mayim Achronim. <Ref> S”A 181:7.

However the Bahag [[Brachot]] 6, Talmidei Rabbanu Yonah 40b, Rosh 8:6, Rambam [[Brachot]] 6:2 say not to make a Bracha. </ref> | # There’s no Bracha for Mayim Achronim. <Ref> S”A 181:7.
