We are learning Vico Mizrahi edition Hayyim ben Mazal children Daniel Bako 6. Alav Hashalom edition we are today on day 66. Day 66 has been dedicated in honor Ronit and Joey Zaghi for the success and of their parents, children and family. children and family. Page 163 we're talking about hatzitza when it comes to netilat yadaim. I'm going to read this halakha from Shulhan Arukh itself today. This is a very very important halakha. Especially if you have fingernails. So I think this is a hatzitza. Now, you have to be careful from a hatzitza Shulhan Arukh says in aleph. Shekol davar she hotzetz betfilah whatever is hotzetz in tevilah in a mikveh mikveh hotzetz benetilah is hotzetz in netilat yadaim. So the question then becomes what about fingernails? Person has a fingernail and they're long. You see some people, ladies for sure. Men even sometimes they're lazy. They don't cut their nails and the nail extends beyond the beyond the flesh. Is this that extension of the fingernail Is this that extension of the fingernail that's beyond the flesh is that considered a hatzitza or not? When it comes to the mikveh by the way, the custom of Sefardim is we tell the ladies they must cut their nails before they go to the mikveh. The concern is they're worried that there might be some dirt underneath the fingernail in that spot. And when there's dirt on the under the fingernail where it extends from the flesh, it's considered a hatzitza. People are not happy with that uh dirt.
