שולחן ערוך (סימן רו סעיף ד’) כל דבר שמברך עליו לאכלו או להריח בו, צריך לאוחזו בימינו כשהוא מברך. והטעם, משום חשיבות כנז’ שם באחרונים.
וכ”כ השולחן ערוך (סי’ קפג סעיף ד’): מקבלו בשתי ידיו (כוס ברכה) וכשמתחיל לברך, נוטלו ביד ימינו ולא יסייע בשמאלו. וכתב הט”ז (סק”ב) ביד ימין שהוא החשוב.
וה”ה בשאר מצוות יש לאחוז ביד ימין, כמ”ש השו”ע (סי’ תרנא סעיף ב’) יטול האגודה של הלולב, ביד ימין. וה”ה איטר נוטל ביד בימין כל אדם, עיי”ש בשו”ע (סעי’ ג’).
PLEASE NOTE*
Attention: You should not learn from one case to another, each case must be analyzed individually. Generally speaking, it's always best to have contact with a Rabbi in person, not just virtual contact. Note that where there is a local Rabbi("Mara Deatra"), one should ask him. The answers are under the responsibility of the rabbi who responded, and not under the responsibility of the website and/or the Head of the Institution.
