Hi all,
We learned 2 reasons why we wash our hands for Netilat Yadayim in the morning...
1) Because our bodies become impure due to when we sleep we are not fully alive and a dead body is considered impure.
2) One may have touched a part of their body while asleep that is usually covered making their hands impure.
Which one do you think applies more?
I think that reason number 1 applies a little bit more because this reason can only apply to when you are sleeping, which makes it a morning pre-eating, pre-davening Mitzvah, while reason number two can occur at any of the 24 hours of any day.
