More on the laws pertaining to the ritual washing of hands: What if you hold the bread via a cloth or gloves or some such and don’t wash? What if the reason you don’t touch the food with your hands is because you’re finicky, and not about ritual washing? Also, a woman who is feeding her child on Yom Kippur and rinses a hand before doing so — clearly is not in violation of not-washing on Yom Kippur. Shammai the Elder didn’t want to wash even one hand, and he was told he must wash both hands — on Yom Kippur, because he was avoiding doing so inappropriately. OR it was to rid himself of “shivta” on Yom Kippur, for not having washed ritually in the morning. Plus, the question of whether the person eating needs to wash or the person feeding (a child, for example). Also: a new mishnah! Meat and cheese in the same cloth, and guests at an inn who share a table, though one is eating dairy and one meat.
