Way To Wash Netilat Yadayim In The Morning

The Daily Halacha Moment - Way To Wash Netilat Yadayim In The Morning



״כל השונה הלכות בכל יום - מובטח לו שהוא בן העולם הבא״ (נידה עג ע״א, מגילה כח:)



“Anyone who studies Halachot every day is guaranteed that he is destined for the world-to-come” (Megilla 28b, Niddah 73a)



Question:

What is the correct procedure to wash Netilat Yadayim in the morning?



Answer:

One should wash one's hands in the morning in the following manner:


Before the washing begins one should make sure that the cup contains at least a reviit (around 3oz) of water. [1]


After that one should take a cup of water in the right hand, transfer it to the left and pour over the right hand; then transfer the cup back to the right hand and pour it over the left. [2] This procedure is repeated another two times for a total of three washings of each hand. [3]


Some Ashkenazic poskim rule that this procedure should be followed a fourth time, to rinse the impure water away. [4]


A left-handed person should follow the same sequence. [5]


Similarly, the hands should be washed up to the wrist. [6] If one does not have enough water to wash to the wrist, he should wash his u fingers up to the knuckles that join them to the palm of the hand. [7]
