==== Urchatz ==== After Kiddush we eat "Karpas," and since it is a vegetable dipped in liquid, and the Sages established that one should wash hands before eating food dipped in liquid, we wash before eating it, but without a blessing, since this is subject to dispute. Some commentators say that the hand washing before eating Karpas is also meant to arouse the curiosity of children. When washing, hold the vessel in the right hand and fill it with water, then transfer it to the left hand and pour three times on the right hand, then return it to the right hand and pour three times on the left hand, and dry the hands thoroughly. The Rebbe does not have someone else wash his hands for him, nor is the water brought to him, rather he rises from his place and washes his hands in the kitchen adjacent to the room where they are gathered.
