A Practical Guide to Washing Hands Before a Meal (Hebrew)

In this exclusively Hebrew video produced by Yahaduton, a YouTube channel that provides instructional videos for Israelis looking to learn more about performing mitzvot according to Orthodox Ashkenazi tradition, two actors explain and demonstrate the historical and spiritual significance of hand washing before eating bread. This portrayal of the hand washing ceremony is helpful for those who understand Hebrew and are looking for a straightforward outline of how to perform this mitzvah, instructing how much water to put in the two-handled cup, or natla, how to prepare one’s hands, and what blessing to recite afterwards.
