    Is it “Tipol aleihem eimasa etc.” three times,

    then three times backwards, or is it, as a local

    shul’s cards appear to instruct,

    three times forwards-and-backwards?

    Is it a matter of differing minhagim?

    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 don’t know why, but I’m under the impression

    that if there is only one person, you exchange

    the greeting three times with him.

    Joseph: You should look up the Rama.

    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.

    Joseph –

    1. machlokes

    2. ok, so there aren’t 3 people, so say it to the same guy 3x

    3. ok, so don’t say that part

    R. Chaim Eliezer (the son of Or Zarua)

    This practice is next mentioned in the 14th

    century, among the customs of Rav Shalom of Neustadt, teacher of

    only two people (the person saying the blessing and one other) he

    no. 364.)
