Once you have washed Mayim Achronim, you should not speak or make any other interruption rather begin benching right away – within about 15 seconds. Unlike Netilat Yadayim which covers the entire hand, for Mayim Achronim is sufficient to wash just the fingers.Unlike Netilat Yadayim which must be poured from a vessel, Mayim Achronim can be done at a faucet.There is no bracha said on Mayim Achronim.This washing differs in its details from Netilat Yadayim done at the beginning of a bread meal: asking someone, who has a certain obligation to bentch, to exempt you by saying the entire Birkat Hamazon out loud, while having you in mind 5īefore bentching, there is a special mitzvah to wash one's fingers this is called Mayim Achronim (literally, "after-waters").saying Hamotzee again and eating another kezayit of bread within kiday achilat pras 4. ![]() ![]() However, the best solution is to remove yourself from the doubtful situation by In such a case the obligation to bentch is rabbinic, and we adopt the rule of Safek D'Rabbanan L'kula – we rule leniently in cases of doubt when the issue is on a rabbinic level.

This is a classic case of doubt.Īs we mentioned in the last class, the Torah-level obligation to bentch is based on being satiated – i.e. You ate a kezayit of bread (within kiday achilat pras), but the house was hectic, you got distracted, and now you can't remember if you bentched or not. Similar situations can arise with Birkat Hamazon. In class #31, we learned about what to do when you have a doubt regarding a bracha achrona. In this class, we'll finish the remaining points.
