The Traveler's Guide to Washing for Bread | Daily Halacha #75

When you're on the road — at a hotel, a picnic, or on a plane — are you washing your hands properly for bread?

Netilas yadayim isn't just a ritual — Chazal say it's davar ha’omed b’rumo shel olam, something that sustains the very world. It began with Shlomo HaMelech and was passed down through the generations, becoming a defining practice of Klal Yisrael. The Gra even says it brings parnassah! But when you're traveling, are you doing it correctly?

In this halacha, we explore why netilas yadayim is so significant, the requirements for a kosher keli, why paper cups don't count, and what to do when you don't have a proper cup. We also address Rav Moshe Feinstein’s leniencies on airplanes, the concept of koach gavra, and the halachic depth behind this seemingly simple mitzvah.
