Daily Halacha - Laws of Blessings, 18th of Cheshvan 5778
Practical guidance on proper handwashing rituals during meals based on Rabbi Ovadia Yosef's rulings
Is dipping hands in a cup of water considered proper for mayim achronim (final washing)?
Those who practice taking mayim achronim by placing their hands into a bowl have authorities upon which to rely [Yalkut Yosef Siman 181].
If one doesn't have water available for mayim achronim, can they wipe their hands with "wet wipes"?
In pressing circumstances when water is unavailable to fulfill the obligation of mayim achronim, one may clean their hands with wet wipes.
