Reply To: Chidushim on Daf Yomi

ברכות לט,א

At a wedding or bar mitzva, they put out pieces of bread to be able to make a brocho on it after washing. Now we are suppose to make a brocho on a complete chalah which is available at the table. They think that making a brocho on washing the hand and walking to the table is a hefsak. The eitza might be (I was told that Rav Yaakov Kaminetzky ztz’l did this) is to make the brocho of netilas yodayim at the table and then make the brocho on a complete bread.
