These machines would be similar to rubbing one’s hand in a hot & sunny, desert breeze…no?

re the women's learning announced at the end of this shiur

To have online learning specifically for women is a beautiful idea, yasher koach. But please, I really hope the learning is not going to have music playing during the learning as during the announcement, it makes it impossible to concentrate on what is being said.

I posut duo not understand the question.

Shifshuf Haitev – Drying your hands well – Is very Possible and sometimes better with a machine and of course it is not letting it dry by itself. Your action of placing it under a machine, that dries it for you.
What exactly is the question?
Machines dry often and better ESPECIALLY WHEN RUBBING THE HANDS TOGETHER and the machine dries it for you.

Washing for motzi.

Don’t understand: 1) actually one needs to rub the hands together to dry properly under the drying machine.
2) Thought we wash 3 times in order to totally remove the tumoh from the first wash. 3) the old material towels caused serious medical issues.
