Rabbi Lev Leib Lerner addresses a common question about the disposal of the leftover water after one washes their hands upon rising. This seemingly mundane detail carries significant weight in Jewish law and tradition, which dictates that this water is not ordinary. According to the explanation, the water used for this ritual washing is considered dangerous—a concept linked to spiritual forces, or the sitra achra, which allegedly partakes in it. This makes proper disposal critical, not just for hygiene, but for spiritual safety. It is emphatically stated that this water must not be poured out where people walk, as this could lead to harm. Similarly, pouring it into a sink containing dishes is strictly forbidden. Rabbi Lerner guides us through the correct procedure for handling this unique situation. The preferred method involves ensuring the sink is empty and pouring the water directly into the drain. Since the drain is typically lower than the sink’s basin, this minimizes the chance of plates coming into contact with the water. Following this, a simple flush with fresh water ensures the matter is properly taken care of. Alternatively, one can go to the bathroom and dispose of it there. Learn the practical and spiritual reasons behind these practices and how to correctly observe this important detail in daily halachah. This discussion is essential viewing for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of Jewish rituals and practical observance.
