There is a custom followed by Jews of German extraction to wash for Hamotzi before making Kiddush. See OC 271 (12) MB{61}. This is very convenient for those who have an outside sukka and don’t want the trouble of returning to the house to wash. Several questions:
1) Is it OK to adopt this minhag for Sukkos only?
2) The MB {62} refers to acharonim who do not favour the practice and the Piskei Teshuvos does not generally favour it. Are there contemporary poskim who support it?
3) I have heard that there are factors that make the minhag less supportable for Kiddush in the day rather than at night. What might these be?
