Standing or sitting for Shalom Aleichem and Eishet Chail
Question
What is the custom regarding sitting or standing for Shalom Aleichem and Eshet Chail sung Erev Shabbat?
Answer
The common Halachik commentators do not speak of a uniform custom for standing or sitting for Shalom Aleichem or Eshet Chayil. Therefore the custom adopted should be the one passed down to you by your family.
