Question
One of my children often has nightmares in the middle of the night when I’m fast asleep.
I get up and go sit with her a little while. I’m usually half asleep, and sit there with my eyes closed, until she falls asleep and I return to my bed.
Should I do Netilat Yadayim before I go to her room?
Answer
Yes you should.
