Hayom Yom 4 Kislev - For Mayim Acharonim water is poured over the fingertips

The daily Hayom Yom with Rabbi Yosef Katzman · Nov 23, 2025 · 2m

לְמַיִם אַחֲרוֹנִים נוֹטְלִים קְצֵה הָאֶצְבָּעוֹת

For mayim acharonim [before the Grace after Meals], water is poured over the fingertips.

וְאַחַר כָּךְ מַעֲבִירִים אוֹתָם, כְּשֶׁהֵם לַחִים עֲדַיִין, עַל הַשְּׂפָתַיִם

Then, while they are still moist, they are passed over the lips.
