Yisrael 2:29 and Halikhot Shlomo 2:5). <\/span><\/p>\n The essential objective of netilat yadayim before Sha\u0125arit is cleanliness, as it is written (Tehilim 26:6): \u201cI wash my hands clean,\u201d and as detailed in Berakhot 15a. The reason for washing one\u2019s hands before a meal is purification and sanctification, similar to the washing of the kohanim\u2019s hands in the kiyor (laver) before serving in the Temple. Although there is a difference between the objectives of the two washings, the Sages instituted the morning netilat yadayim based on the model of washing before a meal, and even the berakha has the same wording. Le-khat\u0125ila, when washing in the morning, one should take care that all the necessary requirements for washing one\u2019s hands before a meal are met \u2013 that there is at least a revi\u2019it of water, that she washes with a vessel, that there is human force involved in the pouring (ko\u2019a\u0125 gavra), and that the appearance of the water has not changed. Be-di\u2019avad, even if there is no revi\u2019it of water there, or a vessel, or human force, since the water does in fact clean one for prayer, it is the opinion of SA and Rema that Al Netilat Yadayim is recited. If the appearance of the water has changed and has become unacceptable for washing before a meal, one may use it to wash her hands for Sha\u0125arit, but instead recite \u201cal nekiyut yadayim\u201d (SA 4:1, 6, 7, and 22). However, MB, 4:7, and BHL state that according to many A\u0125aronim, even if the water becomes invalid for washing before a meal, one may recite Al Netilat Yadayim when washing before Sha\u0125arit because the water does clean her hands enough for prayer. Kaf Ha-\u0125ayim 4:11 and Halakha Berura 4:12 state that one does not recite a berakha on the morning netilat yadayim if there is anything that renders it invalid for washing before a meal. ] <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yisrael 2:29 and Halikhot Shlomo 2:5).
