Hayom Yom: Shevat 20

My father wrote in one of his letters: According to the glosses of Ashri,1 when laving the hands for a meal, pour water over each hand three times consecutively; this was the practice of my father (R. Shmuel). He would leave a little water from the third pouring cupped in the palm of his left hand and, with this water, rub his hands together.
