# Mayim Achronim doesn’t require a | # 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. So holds 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> | ||

# One should wash up to the second knuckles and the first knuckle on the thumb, it’s preferable to be strict to wash the whole finger. <Ref> S”A 181:4 based on Rashba Torat Bayit 6:1 and Raavad against the Rabbenu Bechaye in Shulchan SHel Arba who requires the whole finger. Mishna Brurah 181:10 brings Talmedei Rabbenu Yonah that the thumb only up to the first knuckle. Biur Halacha D”H Ad Perek Sheni and Kaf HaChaim 181:17 say to be strict like the Arizal to wash the whole finger. </ref> | # One should wash up to the second knuckles and the first knuckle on the thumb, it’s preferable to be strict to wash the whole finger. <Ref> S”A 181:4 based on Rashba Torat Bayit 6:1 and Raavad against the Rabbenu Bechaye in Shulchan SHel Arba who requires the whole finger.

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.
