i assume wash, no?
Do you make a brocha? And then what do you do after that? Just eat? What was the point of the washing then? You already touched the bread.

I meant to say ate from the bread, not touch. The quote below though would seem to indicate that if in fact the halacha is that you taste first, then the next step is to wash as you suggested. It also answers the rest of my questions.
Quote from: http://halachipedia.com/index.php?title=Netilat_Yadayim_for_a_Meal#If_one_forgot_to_wash_or_say_Al_Netilat_Yadayim
If one forgot to wash and one already said HaMotzei and ate a little bit of bread, one should wash Netilat Yadayim with a bracha and then continue to eat without another bracha of HaMotzei.
Rivevot Efraim 1:129, Igrot Moshe 2:53

Everything you mention has been on my to-do list for a while.  Hopefully soon.   :)
Wow, glad my Sheila made such a lively discussion...

Um, didn't wash, made hamotzie and about to insert bread, but remember that didn't wash!?


Please tell me you didn't post this when you actually had the Sheila...:) :)
If you are trying to get my attention/assistance and I'm not responding, please feel free to PM me. :)

can anyone point me to a link to a letter from the Rebbe (or anyone else for that matter) directing people to vote in US elections? I found a bunch regarding Israeli elections, but none regarding the US elections

Most definitely not a hefsek.
Anything that is tzorech haachila is not a hefsek.
Eg. We wait after kidush untill the mekadesh gives out the wine way more than sheilas Shalom.

My question really is whether or not it is a hefsek to make al netilas yadayim. - aurguably this is also dibur letzorech haachila but I'm not sure..

Then the question is whether eating is a hefsek bein netila lebracha!


Eta it's mefurash OK in 167:7

Isn't that mashma that the netilah itself would be problematic?

I thought it was in gray for a reason ;D

Either way, still doesn't answer your original question. If the washing with a brocha before eating is only bdieved, then maybe it's better to take a bite first.

Nu, ha gufa. Which bdieved is better? My point is none if the sources brought so far address the original case directly, or are even close enough to fully resolve the question.
