<div>From R’ Aviner:</div>
<div>Netilat Yadayim by a guest</div>
<div>Q: Should a guest avoid using large quantities of water for Netilat Yadayim, since it is at the host’s expense?</div>
<div>A: It is an insignificant amount of water and the host forgives the cost with all of his heart.</div>
<div>(me-paradigm shift due to indoor plumbing? See shabbat 62b and S”A O”C 158:10)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Has anyone seen poskim who reflect the ready availability of water as a reason to differentiate from earlier authorities who focus on the amount of water to be used?<br>
