Can't Stop Washing

רַחַץ



Call me crazy, but I think it's time to wash hands again. This one is called Rochtzah, and it reminds me of a great little blessing:

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יי אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, אֲשֶׁר קִדְשָׁנוּ בְּמִצְוֹתָיו וְצִוָּנוּ עַל נְטִילַת יָדַיִם



( . . . al n'tilat yadayim)



We praise you, Adonai our God, Ruler of the Universe, who has made us holy with mitzvot and commands us to wash our hands.



Since he commands us to wash our hands, we should do it right. Most of us miss critical spots.
