Rabbi Oz Chaim Tadgi • Morning Laws: Hand Washing and the Obligation of a Kippah

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Musayof Synagogue’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

He starts walking around the house. He walks around the house until he goes to wash his hands. Someone told me his daughter forgot to wash her hands until she reached the seminary. So, it takes a long time for a person to go and wash his hands. Is it permitted, gentlemen, to walk around the house without washing hands? Or someone wakes up in the morning and tells you, "Listen, there's a water outage." Oh, they shut off the water. I want to start the morning blessings, to start the blessings without washing my hands. Can I start without washing my hands, or does the evil spirit rest on the hands so I am forbidden to say the blessings? Last thing, gentlemen, there are all sorts of things we do that cause us to forget our Torah learning. The Torah says, "Only take heed to yourself and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes have seen." A person is commanded to remember his learning, not to forget. What about when I put on clothes or take off two garments? Now, this is a law that is very common in the winter. People have many layers of clothing, so a person doesn't have the strength at night to take one off. He takes off several at once. In the morning, it's already ready too. There are sleeves, he just needs to step inside, and he's fully dressed. Is this permitted, or does it fall under something that makes one forget their learning? All these things, gentlemen, we will try to cover . The last thing will be what happens
