Editing Passover Seder (section)

==={{transliteration|he|Urchatz}} (wash hands)===
Technically, according to [[Jewish law]], whenever one partakes of fruits or vegetables dipped in liquid while remaining wet, one must wash one's hands if the fruit or vegetable remains wet. However, at other times of the year, one has either already washed their hands before eating bread, or dry the fruit or vegetable, in which case one need not wash their hands before eating the fruit or vegetable.

According to most traditions, no blessing is recited at this point in the Seder, unlike the blessing recited over the washing of the hands before eating bread.  However, followers of [[Rambam]] or the [[Gaon of Vilna]] do recite a blessing.
