What is the order of handwashing and kiddush at the morning Shabbos meal?
Synopsis
The Mechaber rules that kiddush is recited over wine first, then hands are washed (netilat yadayim), then lechem mishneh is broken. The Rema, citing Siman 271:12, records that Ashkenazic practice is to wash before kiddush. The Mishnah Berurah notes that many later authorities prefer the Mechaber's order.
