L’yilui Nishamt Avraham ben Ester, Shahin Shmuel
ben Hadassa &
Israel Ben Rivka.
From Yalkut Yosef:
1. Mayim Achronim Chova, the ‘Last Water is Mandatory,’ this is the
famous Halacha from the Shulchan Aruch that people say when finishing a meal.
It teaches to do a specific Washing before saying Zimun and Birkat HaMazon. In
the times of the Gemara, Mayim Achronim was done to clean people’s hands from Melach Sdomit, or Salt from Sedom, which
could have harmed one’s eyesight if touches the eye. Even though Melach Sdomit
does not exist anymore, the Halacha of Mayim Achronim is still mandatory,
especially for those with dirty hands. One should not be lenient about this.
2. After one ends his/her meal and has done Mayim Achronim,
he/she cannot drink and/or eat until they have finished praying Birkat HaMazon.
In Shulchan Aruch it is written Vetechef
LeNetilla Beracha, which means immiediately after the washing (Mayim
Achronim) one should bless (say Birkat HaMazon). If one began the Zimun
(special line one says with three or more people who ate together before Birkat
HaMazon) and all of a sudden wants to continue his meal and not begin Birkat
HaMazon, he has to say a Beracha on a beverage and can continue eating without
a Beracha. However, before eating he should think of the Beracha (say it in his
head) usually said on that specific food.
