# Mayim Achronim doesn’t require a [[Reviit]]. Some opinions say one can use a [[Reviit]] and some opinions say not to use less. <Ref> Rashba Torah Bayit 6:2 that there’s no amount requirement, so says the Orchot Chaim Netilat Yadim 31, Kolbo 23 in name of Raavad. This is also the opinion of the Achronim such as Levush 181:7, Atret Zekinim 181:1, Shulchan Aruch Harav 181:4,Kaf Hachaim 181:4. The Mishna Brurah 181:19 says the practice of Gra was to use a Reviat, against the Chida Simchat Regel (Seder Birkat Hamazon) and Ben Ish Chai Shalach 8 who say one should use less water. Accordingly, says the Birur Halacha 181:13 if one’s hands are dirty one should first wash with intent that it’s not for Mayim Achronim and then rewash with intent with less water. </ref> | # Mayim Achronim doesn’t require a [[Reviit]].

# 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. Beiur Halacha s.v. Ad Perek Sheni and Kaf HaChaim 181:17 agree that it's preferable to be strict for the opinion of the Arizal that one should wash one's whole finger. [http://www.dailyhalacha.com/displayRead.asp?readID=338 Rabbi Mansour on Dailyhalacha.com] quotes the S"A and says to preferably be machmir for the opinion of the Arizal (to wash the entirety of the fingers). Halacha Brurah 181:11 agrees.</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.
