# If one goes to the bathroom and then wants to have a bread meal, according to Ashkenazim, one should wash as one leaves the bathroom however this washing should be done without a kli (straight from sink), (preferably, also rub touch one’s shoe or rub one’s scalp), say [[Asher Yatzer]], and then wash again with a Bracha of [[Netilat Yadayim]]. (Ashkenazim have what to rely on to follow the next method of washing). However, according to Sephardim, one should wash once, make the Bracha of [[Asher Yatzer]], and then make the [[Netilat Yadayim]] and [[Hamotzei]]. <Ref> S”A 165:1 writes that for someone who’s leaving a bathroom and wants to have a bread meal should either wash twice, washing once, making [[Asher Yatzer]], and then washing with a Bracha or to wash once, make a Bracha [[Asher Yatzer]], and then [[Al Netilat Yadayim]]. Mishna Brurah 165:2-3 writes that it’s preferable to do the first practice in S”A, but adds that one should make sure that the first washing isn’t a complete washing, otherwise, there’s no need for the second washing. | # If one goes to the bathroom and then wants to have a bread meal, according to Ashkenazim, one should wash as one leaves the bathroom however this washing should be done without a kli (straight from sink), (preferably, also rub touch one’s shoe or rub one’s scalp), say [[Asher Yatzer]], and then wash again with a Bracha of [[Netilat Yadayim]].

#One's hands must be clean so that the [[Netilat Yadayim]] water reaches all parts of the hand.<Ref> S”A 161:1 The Mishna | #One's hands must be clean so that the [[Netilat Yadayim]] water reaches all parts of the hand.<Ref> S”A 161:1 The Mishna Brurah explains that this halachah is modeled after the laws of chatzitza by Tevilat HaGuf - when one has a Torah obligation to dip in a mikvah. There, the halacha is that if one has something covering most of his body while dipping he does not fulfill his Torah obligation to Tovel. The Rabbanan decreed that any amount of dividing substance disquaalifies the Tevilah. Even though the institution to wash one's hands before a meaal is only Rabbinic, the Rabbi's instituted the washing with similar laws to the Torah washing - tevilat haguf.</ref> | ||

If not, one may leave it on, | # A basic guidline for Chatzitza is that if it is something one normally cares is on his hands and would remove then he is obligated to remove it before washing.
