Another question: Can you say Shalom Aleichem three times to the same person rather than three different people? What to do if there aren’t three other people? What to do if you say Kiddush Levana b’yichidus?
I am far too busy to deal with this entire issue, as I am already busying myself with hachonos for Birkas haChamo in just another 22 years, on Isru Chag Pesach.
There are those who say that the lashon of the Rama that says v’yomar lachaveiro Gimel peamim should be translated to mean that lechatchila one should greet the same individual 3 times.
