Morning Hand Washing
Question
Hello Rabbi,
What is the reason that the morning hand washing has to be done with a vessel as an absolute requirement?
I understood that from the words of the Zohar, the halakhic decisors see this as even indispensable. Does it say what the reason is?
What do you think?
Thanks in advance
Answer
Are you asking about a vessel? I don’t know.

And the human force is the opening of the faucet.
I understood that maybe water can come directly from the faucet;
the pipes, the water tower, and the pumps are enough to count as vessels.
