MITZVAH NUMBER TWO - ASHER YATZER - BATHROOM TIME

BS"D I don’t know about you, but after I wash my hands in the morning, it is a direct route - Do not pass Go - to the bathroom. So then after relieving ourselves, it’s time to say thank you again to HaShem and we get to do another Mitzvah…

We wash our hands again – the same way we did first thing in the morning. Then we go outside of the bathroom because we are not supposed to talk inside the bathroom (ever notice that there are no mezuzzos on a bathroom door) and we say this blessing:

Blessed are you, Lord our G-d, King of the Universe, who has formed man in wisdom, and created within him numerous orifices and cavities. It is revealed and known before the Throne of Your Glory, that if but one of them were to be blocked, or one of them were to be opened, it would be impossible to exist even for a short while. Blessed are you, Lord, who heals all flesh and performs wonders.

Amazing - thank you Hashem for thinking of everything we need to exist in this world. Everything we take for granted twenty-four/seven – You thought of everything – all we need to do is say: Thank you.
