    Two old friends meet up and wish each other a hartzige Shalom Aleichm. Or two random Yidden meet and before having a small chit-chat over some common issue they give each other a Shalom Aleichem and Aleichem Shalom. But all these various scenarios are between two men. I don’t recall ever seeing two women giving each other a Shalom Aleichem/Aleichem Shalom. Certainly not in the chareidishe kehillos. Is Shalom Aleichem a guy thing?

    “Shalom aleichem” is a greeting, and it is not specific to gender of hashkafa.

    Ladies – When on the street or when inside and you meet a neighbor or colleague or relative or acquaintance or friend or ask a random person for information, do you initialize the conversation by greeting her with “Shalom Aleichem” (while shaking her hand) and/or respond “Aleichem Shalom” to another woman who greets you?
