<P>Not true; the Mishna Berura (181:10) specifies that he is upset (ra alai hama'aseh) that people don't wash properly. His recommendation: at least the first two joints of the fingers. No mention of a volume requirement.</P>
<P><<Even the reviis has to come from a keli; washing from a faucet doesn't count.>></P>
<P>Not true. One must wash INTO a keli, not from one (Mechaber 181:2). </P>
<P><<One may not talk after Mayim Acharonim>></P>
<P>True.</P>
<P><<; if he does then IIRC he has to wash again even though his hands are already clean.>></P>
<P>This is lichvod the beracha (techef lentilas yadayim beracha) and does not require re-washing bed'avad.<BR><BR>Gershon<BR>gershon.dubin@juno.com<BR></P></html>
