Okay. Good evening, my dear brothers, and welcome to everybody from Torah Anytime. Thank you so much for allowing these shiyurim to be publicized across the world. Shiyur is l'iluy nishmas my mother, Henya Kaparsman, Shkava, Frieda Bas Yitzchak Aryeh HaLevi. Amira's Shalom Aleichem. Amira's Shalom Aleichem. How many of you say Shalom Aleichem? Did you know that some sofer did not say Did you know that some sofer did not say Shalom Aleichem? As I bring to mind a book, we're going to see that tonight. It is not kashered. Because you're saying you're bringing in the malachim, and then you're saying "Barchuni, you should bench me." >> [laughter] >> You should bench you? You're asking a bracha from a malach? You're asking the malach to give you a bracha? You're only supposed to get brachos from the Eibershter. How do you say that? How do you say that? As always, when we learn the halachos of Kiddusha Shabbos, the idea is to understand one of the biggest issues that Klal Yisrael has is everybody's airlich, and everybody does, but they don't know why they're doing it. Baruch Hashem, aber what would it be like if men voll farshtanen yo? If you would understand, don't you think that you would get more s'char and more gishmak, and it would do something would make you better? Tonight, we have the make you better? Tonight, we have the s'chus to learn about Shalom Aleichem. Where did it come from? Where are those who say it? Who don't say it? Let me learn in the sugiyah. So, as we always, every week, we read the shiyur. K'ivan she nahagu rabbim Yisrael l'shiyur Shalom Aleichem b'leil Shabbos, since it's a dua minag, the question is should you skip and tamper with the minute? If you turn to page
