Question
1. Does removing part of a fingernail, or the fingernail of only one finger, require washing the hands?
2. In netilat yadayim for a meal, is it permitted, after the pouring with a vessel and before drying, to rinse the hands with soap? The reason I use soap is that I am coming from outside, and this is what I do every time I enter the house, and not because there is actual dirt on my hands.
