	There is a mitzvah to wash one's hand after a bread meal before [[Birkat HaMazon]]. This mitzvah is called Mayim Achronim. The rabbis loosely derived it to a pasuk “VeHayiteem Kedoshim” - we should be holy. Additionally, Mayim Achronim was instituted in order to prevent Sedomite salt from getting into one’s eyes, which could potentially blind oneself. <Ref> [[Brachot]] 53b, Chulin 105a-b </ref>		There is a mitzvah to wash one's hand after a bread meal before [[Birkat HaMazon]].
