	Mayim Acharonim
		He answers that Tosafot were trying to offer a defense for the people of their generation who had stopped washing mayim acharonim, and thus they presented to reason of Sodomite salt as the main reason, thus allowing for the possibility of declaring the practice no longer necessary.
		However, if the reason for mayim acharonim is due to personal danger, then even in war one must continue to wash his hands to ensure that they are free of any dangerous salts.
		Since the point of mayim acharonim is to remove the filth from the hands, the water may not be at a temperature that is so high that it actually produces the opposite effect.

	Bishul 3
		The Acharonim (see Pri Megadim Eishel Avraham 254:1 and Eglei Tal Ofeh 8:11) explain that the stringent view believes that the effect of the cooking of a liquid is nullified after it has cooled down.
		Acharonim have debated the definition of liquid and solid in this context for centuries.
		Some Acharonim (the Bach, Vilna Gaon, and Mishna Berura) believe that a food must be free of any liquid to qualify as a solid.

	Acharonim - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The publication of the Shulkhan Arukh thus marks the transition from the era of Rishonim to that of Acharonim.
		According to many rabbis in the Orthodox Jewish community, scholars in one era within the history of halachic development cannot challenge the rulings of previous-era scholars, and hence Achronim cannot dispute the rulings of rabbis of previous eras unless they find support of other eras from rabbis in previous eras.
		The question of which prior rulings can and cannot be disputed has led to efforts to define which rulings are within the Acharonim era with precision.

		As such the Issur of bishul and hanaah created by mixing the nevielah meat with milk creates an entirely new degree of Issur.
		See Yoreh Deah siman 87 Pischei Tshuva #7 where the matter is discussed at legnth and where a number of prominant acharonim are quoted, including the Nodeh Byhudah, Pri Megadim and Chasam Sofer who conclude that such a mixture is in fact prohibited.
		As such, the use of Basar Bchalav pet food is, in the opinion of many great acharonim assur midiorysah.

		Mayim achronim seems to be an acknowledgement of the comparative coarseness of men and therefore contrary to any feminine mystique, which Orthodox Jewish women certainly feel to be worthy of preservation.
		However, if they are not careful to eat with utensils and do soil their hands with food, then they should wash mayim acharonim.
		He writes that he has seen Chasidische women in important families who do wash mayim acharonim and so if a woman should wash mayim acharonim she would get sechar (reward) for doing so.

	INSIGHTS TO THE DAF - ERUVIN 17
		The Gemara explains that the reason for the strict obligation of Mayim Acharonim is that there might be some salt from the meal left on one's fingers, and if he wipes his eyes with his fingers he risks becoming blind from the toxicity of the Sedomis-salt contained in table salt.
		The Mishnah Berurah adds (in the name of the Rambam) that even if the only reason to wash Mayim Acharonim is to prevent blindness from Sedomis-salt, and we no longer use Sedomis-salt, we should still wash Mayim Acharonim because there might be other salt that has the same characteristics of Sedomis-salt.
		However, at the end of the laws of Mayim Acharonim, the Shulchan Aruch (181:10) cites the opinion of Tosfos (b) who says that the obligation of Mayim Acharonim no longer applies.

	Talk:Acharonim - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Many other Orthodox rabbis note that the Shulkhan Arukh is actually from the era of the Acharonim.
		In Nefesh HaRav (page 239), Rav Schacter states that "...even though the Beis Yosef and the Rema were in the same time period the Beis Yosef was a Rishon and the Rema was an Acharon because the dividing line between the Rishonim and Acharonim was not the same in all places.
		I have also seen that statements that acharinim after 1664 (gezerot tach vetat) cannot disagree with acharonim before then.

	The Minhag of Kapparot
		By the time of the early Acharonim both Ashkenazic and Sephardic Jews had accepted the practice.
		The later Acharonim do not express opposition to the practice but expressed some very serious reservations about its implementation.
		Thus the Acharonim suggest two solutions to this problem.

	Avodah V6 #118
		its actually far more complicated as there are disputes among the acharonim (besides the CI) about the proper derivation of the position of a number of these rishonim.
		A more interesting (to me) inquiry re date lines, would be the case of two travelers starting off on different sides of (anybody's version) of a date line (at least for those acharonim who believe in date lines) who each, staying on his/her side of the line, made their way to the north pole.
		His enlightening response - as I understood it - is that in the Brisker perspective not all Rishonim are considered to be in the category that mandates adherence to their Halachic positions - thus, in this area, leaving Acharonim free to be mechaddeish.

		My evidence for these "other reasons" is that there are many halachos which seem to have nothing to do with simple cleanliness.
		Another example: M.A. should be from a cup, not merely from a faucet; according to this, the washing which women do in the course of the meal is invalid to begin with, even if we ignore the talking aspect.

		Many (including Shaarei Teshuva 188:7 and Birkei Yosef 188:13) cite the Ginat Veradim, who says that that when we recite things that do not seem to apply anymore because they applied in the beginning of the meal, it is only by hazkarot.
		Although we do not do this in practice, in a case like ours, where there are serious reasons to consider this a continuation of the Sheva Berachot period, it is appropriate to do so.
		Recent Acharonim caution that this is true only when people outside the household take part in the meal (see Nisu’im K'hilchatam 14:128).

		This has been the sanction for most Ashkenazim not to require making "mayim acharonim," although the Shulchan Arukh (Orach Chaim) 181:1 rules decisively that it is required of all persons.
		The Jews of Yemen have always performed this practice, and I was told that it was because of a dictum which says:
		Whatever the reasons given by the rishonim, for doing "mayim acharonim" or not doing "mayim acharonim," let every man continue that practice received and accepted by his fathers as halacha.

		The halachah permits placing sifrei Acharonim on top of volumes of the Gemora because the Acharonim are commenting on the Gemora and frequently cite the Gemora.
		Nevertheless there were several Gedolim who were stringent in this matter, and placed volumes of Gemora on top of the works of Rishonim, and the works of the Rishonim on top of the commentaries of the Acharonim.

		Once he turns his mind away from his meal, he has to make another blessing if he wants to continue eating.
		If he has completed the meal, washing hands with mayim acharonim, saying hav lan unvorech before washing hands with mayim acharonim, taking the full cup in hand for making the Blessing After Meals or even just filling the cup with wine indicate that a person has turned his mind away from his meal.
		It seems to me that washing the cup is not itself a gesture of turning the mind away from eating.
