# If one is going to eat less than a [[KeBaytzah]] but more than a [[Kezayit]] of bread, one should wash without a bracha, however, some Ashkenazim hold that one may wash with a bracha. <ref> Shulchan Aruch 158:2 writes that some say if one eats less than a [[KeBaytzah]] of bread one should wash without a bracha. Mishna Brurah 158:9 explains that some say one only makes the bracha upon a [[KeBaytzah]] because Tumah only applies to food the size of a [[KeBaytzah]], whereas others say that one makes the bracha upon a [[Kezayit]] because that is considered a significant eating in regards to [[Birkat HaMazon]], so too it should be considered sufficient to obligate [[Netilat Yadayim]] with a Bracha. These two sides are brought by the Beit Yosef 158 in the name of the Rokeach. Mishna Brurah concludes that if one ate less than a [[KeBaytzah]] but more than a [[Kezayit]] one should wash [[Netilat Yadayim]] without a bracha. Yalkut Yosef 158:4 agrees. However, Vezot HaBracha chap 2, pg 13 based on Igrot Moshe 4:44 and Rav Elyashiv argues that one may say the bracha of [[Netilat Yadayim]] as long as one is going to eat a [[Kezayit]], though he adds that it is preferable to eat a [[KeBaytzah]] in order to satisfy all opinions. Ritva [[Sukkah]] 25a "ukishehayviu" says that a [[Kezayit]] does require [[netilat yadayim]] with a beracha.  </ref>

# If one is going to eat less than a [[Kezayit]] of bread, some say that doesn't have to wash [[Netilat Yadayim]], while others say that one should wash without a Bracha. It is proper to be strict to wash without a bracha.<ref>Shulchan Aruch 158:3 writes that some say that one doesn't have to was [[Netilat Yadayim]] if one is going to eat less than a [[Kezayit]]. This is the opinion 158 in the name of the Rokeach. Mishna Brurah 158:10 quotes the Taz who agrees with Shulchan Aruch in opposition to the Magen Avraham who says that one should wash without a Bracha. Mishna Brurah concludes that one should be strict for the opinion of the Magen Avraham. The Lechem Chamudot Perek Kol Basar: 72 agrees with this Magen Avraham</ref>

==Which waters are fit for Netilat Yadayim?==
# Waters that changed it’s color are unfit for [[Netilat Yadayim]]. The same law applies whether the color changed because something fell in, or because of the container. <Ref> S”A 160:1 writes that the law of waters that changed it’s color is the same whether the color changed on it’s own, because of something falling in, or because of the container. Mishna Brurah 160:2 writes that the Achronim point out that the S”A merely copied the language of the Tur, however, we hold like the Rambam and so it’s permitted. </ref>
