# If one is going to eat more than a [[KeBaytzah]] of bread, one must wash [[Netilat Yadayim]] with a Bracha. <ref>Shulchan Aruch 158:2 writes that some say if one eats less than a [[KeBaytzah]] of bread one should wash without a bracha. Mishna Brurah 158:9 writes that if one eats the size of a [[KeBaytzah]] without the shell it is certainly sufficient to make the bracha of [[Netilat Yadayim]]. </ref> | # If one is going to eat more than a [[KeBaytzah]] of bread, one must wash [[Netilat Yadayim]] with a Bracha. <ref>Shulchan Aruch 158:2 writes that some say if one eats less than a [[KeBaytzah]] of bread one should wash without a bracha.

# If one is going to eat less than a [[KeBaytzah]] but more than a [[Kezayit]] of bread, one should wash without a bracha, however, some Ashkenazim hold that one may wash with a bracha. <ref> Shulchan Aruch 158:2 writes that some say if one eats less than a [[KeBaytzah]] of bread one should wash without a bracha. Mishna Brurah 158:9 explains that some say one only makes the bracha upon a [[KeBaytzah]] because Tumah only applies to food the size of a [[KeBaytzah]], whereas others say that one makes the bracha upon a [[Kezayit]] because that is considered a significant eating in regards to [[Birkat HaMazon]], so too it should be considered sufficient to obligate [[Netilat Yadayim]] with a Bracha. These two sides are brought by the Beit Yosef 158 in the name of the Rokeach. Mishna Brurah concludes that if one ate less than a [[KeBaytzah]] but more than a [[Kezayit]] one should wash [[Netilat Yadayim]] without a bracha. Yalkut Yosef 158:4 agrees. However, Vezot HaBracha chap 2, pg 13 based on Igrot Moshe 4:44 and Rav Elyashiv argues that one may say the bracha of [[Netilat Yadayim]] as long as one is going to eat a [[Kezayit]], though he adds that it is preferable to eat a [[KeBaytzah]] in order to satisfy all opinions. Ritva [[Sukkah]] 25a "ukishehayviu" says that a [[Kezayit]] does require [[netilat yadayim]] with a beracha. </ref> | # If one is going to eat less than a [[KeBaytzah]] but more than a [[Kezayit]] of bread, one should wash without a bracha, however, some Ashkenazim hold that one may wash with a bracha. <ref> Shulchan Aruch 158:2 writes that some say if one eats less than a [[KeBaytzah]] of bread one should wash without a bracha.

# If one is going to eat less than a [[Kezayit]] of bread, some say that doesn't have to wash [[Netilat Yadayim]], while others say that one should wash without a Bracha. It is proper to be strict to wash without a bracha.<ref>Shulchan Aruch 158:3 writes that some say that one doesn't have to was [[Netilat Yadayim]] if one is going to eat less than a [[Kezayit]]. This is the opinion 158 in the name of the Rokeach. Mishna Brurah 158:10 quotes the Taz who agrees with Shulchan Aruch in opposition to the Magen Avraham who says that one should wash without a Bracha.

# If one washed one's hands with a bracha with intent to eat and then changed his mind and didn't end up eating he doesn't need to force himself to eat and his bracha isn't a bracha levatala.<ref>Ritva Chullin 106b s.v. vagav writes that since one's intent was that one's bracha would be for food when one made the bracha it is valid even if one later changes one's intent afterwards. (Compare to Gra O.C. 432's support for the Rama that if one made the bracha for bedikat chametz and didn't find anything that it isn't a bracha levatala.) Rav Yitzchak Yosef ([https://www.torahanytime.com/#/lectures?v=75192 Motzei Shabbat Beshalach 5779]) quoted this as the halacha.</ref> | |||
