RITUAL HAND-WASHING IN PREPARATION FOR THE SEDER 􏰠􏰡􏰞 􏰣􏰢􏰛􏰤

Water is refreshing, cleansing and clear, so it’s easy to understand why so many cultures and religions use water for symbolic purification. Washing hands can take place twice during our Seder: now, with no blessing, to get us ready for the rituals to come; and then later, with a blessing, to prepare us for the meal.
