Question
Is it permissible for a Kohen to pass in front of a praying person for the purpose of hand washing?
And is it permissible for a Levite to pass in front of a praying person for the Kohen's hand washing?
Answer
A Kohen is permitted to pass in front of a praying person for the purpose of hand washing.
As for a Levite, if the praying person is directly behind him, it is forbidden for him to pass in front of the praying person. However, if the praying person is not directly behind him but slightly to the sides, he may pass and go to wash the Kohen's hands.
