# Some are strict not to talk even words of Torah. If one spoke it’s preferable that one wash again.<Ref> Kesef Mishna ([[Brachot]] 6:20) from Rashi and Rambam | # Some are strict not to talk even words of Torah. If one spoke it’s preferable that one wash again.<Ref> Kesef Mishna ([[Brachot]] 6:20) infers from Rashi and Rambam that speech isn’t an interruption between mayim achronim and birkat hamazon. The Magen Avraham 165:4 questions it but seems to agree. On the other hand, the Arizal (cited by Bear Heitiv 179:1) holds that it is forbidden to talk betwen mayim achronim and birkat hamazon. This is also the opinion of the Drisha 179:2, Eliyah Raba 179:1, Pri Megadim E”A 179:1, Chayei Adam, Zachur LeAvraham, Magen Giborim, Maharsham in Daat Torah, and Mishna Brurah 179:1. The Shulchan Aruch HaRav permits 2 or 3 words and the Aruch HaShulchan is lenient like the Kesef Mishna. Bear Heitiv 179:1 cites the Magen Avraham as though he is lenient and Shaar Hatziyun notes this difficulty.</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. 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.
