אַאַמוּ"ר כּוֹתֵב בְּאֶחָד מִמִּכְתָּבָיו
My revered father, the Rebbe [Rashab], writes in a letter:
עַל פִּי הֲגָהוֹת אָשְׁרִ"י נְטִילַת יָדַיִם לִסְעוּדָּה ג' פְּעָמִים רְצוּפוֹת
“According to Hagahos Oshri, when washing our hands for a meal we should pour [water from a vessel] three times consecutively [over each hand].
כֵּן הָיָה עוֹשֶׂה אַאַמוּ"ר — (מַהַרַ"ש, נִשְׁמָתוֹ עֵדֶן)
My revered father, the Rebbe [Maharash], would conduct himself in this manner.
וּמַנִּיחַ מִשְּׁפִיכָה הַג' מְעַט מַיִם בְּכַף יָד הַשְּׂמָאלִית
He would leave a little water from the third pouring in the palm of his left hand
וּבָזֶה מְשַׁפְשֵׁף שְׁתֵּי יָדָיו
and would rub this over both hands.”
