Original text
<b>דין הפסקה בין בציעה לנטילה. ובו סעיף אחד:</b><br>יש אומרים שאין צריך ליזהר מלהפסיק בין נטילה להמוציא ויש אומרים שצריך ליזהר וטוב ליזהר. (ואם שהה כדי הלוך כ"ב אמה מקרי הפסק): (תוספות פרק אלו נאמרין):
There are those who say that one need not be careful about pausing between washing and [the Brachah of] Hamotzi, and there are those who say that one needs to be careful [and there are those who say] it is good to be careful. (The amount of time equivalent to walking 22 cubits is considered a pause) (Tosefos Perek Elu Ne'emarim).
