Heres my pet-peeve
Non-brooklynites are always complaining about people not saying good shabbos
I decided to do a little experiment about this to see if they were right or not
Of all the people (males) I passed (about 20) to 11 of them I said good shabbos first and got a response, 6 said good shabbos first at which I responded, and only 2, whom I said good shabbos to first, did not respond.
1. The Gemara says to be Makdim Shalom_ If your expecting a good shabbos first, remember this maamar chazal
2. I’ve been noticing more and more, that people are saying good shabbos to each other
3. The accepted M’halech amongst most in BP, is to only speak to same gender-Don’t expect a good shabbos greeting from the opposite gender
Heres my biggest pet-peeve
I’ve been to alot of out-of-town places for shabbos, and I’ve not seen them to be much better than BP. I don’t know where all this hype comes from
There are a decent number of people whom I said good shabbos to first, so why is this any different than Brooklyn, where I get nice responses, and there were people who didn’t respond
IMHO it’s all…..
