Question

Hello, In the Blessing of the Moon, it is customary to say 'Shalom Aleichem' to three people. 1. Is this a halacha? 2. If one did not say it, has he fulfilled his obligation? 3. What should a person do if he fears that his 'Shalom Aleichem' might interrupt another person in the middle of their Blessing of the Moon (is this considered a complete interruption?) or in the middle of reciting verses or in the middle of reciting Aleinu?

Answer

Hello 

1. It is a custom. 

2. He has fulfilled his obligation.

3. If he sees that the other person is in the middle of a blessing, he should not say it to him. If he does not know, he should say it, and the other person will decide if he is permitted to respond.
