Question
Hello Rabbi, in another account I asked today about Maran in Siman Dalet: what is the difference between the morning washing and the one before prayer, and why did Maran mention only the blessing on the washing before prayer? I understood the Rabbi's answer, but I'm not sure I understood correctly what the Rabbi said that Maran combined the two washings, and also that the Rabbi said that Maran said that after the first washing one does not bless because they go to the bathroom or something similar. Did the Rabbi mean that Maran actually says that one should wash in the morning immediately upon rising but not bless, then go to the bathroom, do their needs, then wash again and bless "Asher Yatzar" and "Al Netilat Yadayim", and this last washing is called the washing before prayer that Maran mentioned?
