Hi,
Among the practices of Yom Kippur is a strict prohibition against pleasurable washing.
Therefore, upon rising in the morning one limits the ritual washing with a cup of water, pouring it over each hand the normal three times (Right-Left-Right-Left-Right-Left), but only up to the base of the fingers – one should not wash the whole hand.
Other than that, one may only wash to remove specific dirt or other unhealthy material.
(Code of Jewish Law Orach Chaim 613:1-3)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
