==Washing the hands== Rabbi Schwartz’s comment: The only reason to ask a Ben Noah to wash his/her hands is out of respect for prayers and as a reminder that every person should have hands that are clean from wrong doing toward his fellow man. For these purposes any method of washing hands should suffice. -- ''Rabbi Yoel Schwartz, Oklahoma B’nai Noah Society DRAFT Rosh Hashanah prayer book'' ==Saying the blessing== Here is a question from the Spanish language section of the Sanhedrin forum, from 6th of Mar Cheshvon, 5768. :shalom Rabino:la única forma de hacer Netilat Yadaim es por medio de la Berajot que contiene Asher Kideshano vemitzvotaiv vetzivanu... Puede un Ben Noaj decir: Baruj Ata HaShem Elokeinu Melej HaOlam Al Netilat Yadaim? Which says :Shalom Rabbi:Is the only way to do Netilat Yadaim is through the Berajot containing Asher Kideshano vemitzvotaiv vetzivanu ... ? Can a Ben Noah say: "Baruch Ata HaShem Elokeinu Melej HaOlam Al Netilat Yadaim?" I submitted the question to Rabbi Hollander, who presented the question to Rabbi Schwartz, the head of the Beis Din for Bnei Noah. Question: :Rabbi Schwartz has previously said that it is not required for a Bnai Noah to say a blessing before washing hands for bread. If a Bnai Noah voluntarily wants to say a blessing which blessing should he say: :1. Baruch Ata HaShem Elokeinu Melej HaOlam Asher Kideshano bamitzvotaiv, vemitzvotaiv vetzivanu Al Netilat Yadaim (Blessed are you Hashem, G-d, King of the Universe, who has sanctified us through the commandments, and commanded us concerning washing the hands) :2. Baruch Ata HaShem Elokeinu Melej HaOlam Asher Kideshta Otam vemitzvotaiv vetzivata Otam Al Netilat Yadaim (Blessed are you Hashem, G-d, King of the Universe, who has sanctified them through the commandments, and commanded them concerning washing the hands) :3. Baruch Ata HaShem Elokeinu Melej HaOlam Asher Ma'avsher Li La'asot Al Netilat Yadaim (Blessed are you Hashem, G-d, King of the Universe, who allowed us/enabled us concerning washing the hands) :4. Baruch Ata HaShem Elokeinu Melej HaOlam Al Netilat Yadaim (Blessed are you Hashem, G-d, King of the Universe, concerning washing the hands) Answer: :Rabbi Schwartz' recommendation is # 4, "Baruch Ata HaShem Elokeinu Melej HaOlam Al Netilat Yadaim"
