Nagel Vasser

6:327 AM - When I woke up this morning I recalled something a colleague told me yesterday: His first cousin once had a meeting with a prominent rabbi/philosopher. He asked the wise man what he thought was the most important mitzvah. The rabbi said, "Nagel vasser - washing of hands upon waking in morning." He believed that what seems like a minor action is a major mitzvah because it represents how important purity is in our lives, how we need to start our day with an act of preparation. And and and.
