If one spoke between washing the hands and the blessing over the bread, must one wash again?

Greetings,

If you spoke between drying your hands and the blessing over the bread, you do not need to wash your hands again, provided that you did not divert your attention from keeping your hands from touching places that require washing again (Mishnah Berurah, siman 166, seif katan 6).

And if you spoke between the washing and the blessing, or between the blessing and the drying, even though one should be very careful about this from the outset, in any case after the fact you are not obligated to wash your hands again (see Yevia Omer, part 8, Orach Chaim, siman 20).

With blessings,

Hillel Meirs
