03 Netilas Yadayim and the Bracha, Al Netilas Yadayim Wednesday 7 Tishrei 5774/ September 11 2013. (Machon Chana).

Netilas Yadayim and the Bracha, Al Netilas Yadayim.
This class on the Bracha of Netilas yadayim focused on the reasons for washing (both negative ones, going out of what is negative) and positive ones (going into K’dusha). It is for the latter reason that we make a Bracha. Why negel vasser is intermittent and other washing is not. The words Al Netilas Yadayim are explained based on a Maamar of the Previous Rebbe and the MaHaRiD. [The prefix of this and every Bracha we’ll do IYH next time]. See Yeshiva Class in other folder (for a brief mention of Al Netilas Yadayim)
