Why is “Shalom Aleichem” always plural? I don't buy your explanation that it stems from the Shalom Aleichem prayer. The plural greeting is common all throughout the Middle East. Arabs say "As-Salamu Alaykum". Your second explanation seems to be correct though. |

Baal haTanya's donning shel yad seated When I was in Lubavitch Yeshivah, I remember the Mashpia saying that the best thing to do was to put it on sitting and then stand for the bracha thus fulfilling the Zohar and the Ashkenazic custom of saying Berachas of Mitzvahs while standing. |

What to do when which side of the door to put the Mezuza on is unclear? I just wrote a more user friendly version of this answer on my blog here: mezuzahstore.com/blogs/mezuzah-blog/… |

Bal Toisif on the Four Minim I would like to point out that ancient coins from the second temple period show an Etrog and a Lulav with two aravot sticking out and dozens of hadassim all around with a band around the middle to hold them all together. See here for example failedmessiah.typepad.com/.a/… |

Composition of Sofer's ink DO NOT use shoe polish to darken your Tefillin straps. Many shoe polishes contain animal fat. High quality ones may contain ingredients like mink oil. Shoe dye would probably be ok but shoe polish is an oil based product which always contains some sort of wax/fat/oil and should not be assumed to be kosher. |

What to do when which side of the door to put the Mezuza on is unclear? Reshut Harabim means the public domain. In this context it basically means anything outside your house. |
