  Washing the Hands (Netilas Yadayim) before Meals; Grace After Meals (Birkas HaMazon) & Other BlessingsCircumcision: Bris Milah  

Cf. Siddur, p. 86.

The text reads vesitneini (in the singular) lechein ulechesed....[180]

Whenever the Rebbe Rashab traveled to the countryside, he would recite Tikkun Leil Shavuos for the second time. After traveling some four miles he would call the coach to a halt, wash his hands (netilas yadayim), and recite the Prayer for Travelers. When traveling by wagon, he would remain seated while he recited it; when in a train he would stand.[181]

When he was away from home, even though he remained in the same place for several months, he would recite the Prayer for Travelers every day after the morning prayers, though without mentioning the Divine Name in the concluding blessing.[182]
