# If one is going to eat more than a Kebaytzah of bread, one must wash Netilat Yadayim with a Bracha. <ref>S"A 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>S"A 158:2 writes that some say if one eats less than a Kebaytzah of bread one should wash without a bracha.

# 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> S"A 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. 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.</ref> | # 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> S"A 158:2 writes that some say if one eats less than a Kebaytzah of bread one should wash without a bracha.

These two sides are brought by the Beit Yosef 158 in the name of the Rokeach.

# 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>S"A 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. 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.</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.

# 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> | # Waters that changed it’s color are unfit for Netilat Yadayim.
