Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, Siman 2

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

How does the Kitzur want hands washed in the morning, and what is done when the proper way is not available? A list of activities that call for washing follows, with a question on washing four times. Siman 3 then opens with the Kitzur on tznius, even in the dark, since Hashem sees everything.

Key points

• Before washing, the Kitzur warns against touching the mouth, nostrils, eyes or ears.
• The Kitzur holds off the bracha on the first washing until after using the restroom.
• In doubtful cases such as a second sleep or a night awake, the Kitzur has three washings without a bracha.
