Shabbat – Blessings over the washing (Netila) and Challah

Netilat Yadaim N Bread-Hamotzi (short-long-reanslation)

Netilat Yadaim / Washing the hands

We wash our hands at least once with an amount of 86cc on either hand.
The main Minhag is to do so three times on each hand, starting with the washing of the right hand.

Blessing after washing:

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה’ אֱלהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעולָם אֲשֶׁר קִדְּשָׁנוּ בְּמִצְותָיו וְצִוָּנוּ עַל נְטִילַת ידיים

Baruch Atah Adonai,Eloheinu Melech Ha-olam,Asher Ki-d’shanuB’mitzvotav V’tzivanu,Al N’tilat Yadayim.

Translation: Blessed are You, Lord our G-d, King of the universe, 
Who has made us holy through His commandments, 
and has commanded us about washing hands.
