==Tevilat Yadayim== | |||
# If someone dips his hands into a spring or mikveh that fulfills netilat yadayim. He doesn't need to do so twice or to raise his hands afterwards as one normally would do with netilat yadayim.<ref>Shulchan Aruch OC 159:19</ref> | |||
# The bracha on tevilat yadayim is also "al netilat yadayim".<ref>Shulchan Aruch OC 159:20, Mishna Brurah 159:97</ref> | |||
===Spring Water=== | |||
# One can fulfill netilat yadayim with dipping them into a spring even if it is flowing as long as there is enough water to dip one's hands in at one time.<ref>Shulchan Aruch OC 159:14</ref> | |||
===Mikveh Water=== | |||
# One can dip one's hands into a mikveh of forty seah. If it isn't forty seah in extenuating circumstances one can be lenient.<ref>Shulchan Aruch OC 159:14 and Rama</ref> | |||
# One can not dip one's hands into a mikveh of rainwater if the water is flowing.<ref>Shulchan Aruch OC 159:15 has a doubt if rainwater of forty seah is kosher for tevilat yadayim and the Mishna Brurah 159:88 quotes the Gra who holds that it is certainly unfit.</ref> | |||
# One can not dip one's hands into a mikveh of rainwater if the water was contained in a vessel<ref>Shulchan Aruch OC 159:16 writes that according to the Rambam a mikveh of forty seah is unfit for netilat yadayim if it was contained in a vessel, while the Raavad would render it fit. However, even the Rambam would agree if the water was drawn along the ground (hamshacha) before it went into the mikveh.</ref> even if the vessel is attached to the ground.<ref>Mishna Brurah 159:89</ref> | |||

# If one is going to eat more than a [[KeBaytzah]] of bread, one must wash [[Netilat Yadayim]] 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 writes that if one eats the size of a [[KeBaytzah]] without the shell it is certainly sufficient to make the bracha of [[Netilat Yadayim]]. </ref> | # If one is going to eat more than a [[KeBaytzah]] of bread, one must wash [[Netilat Yadayim]] 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.
