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.
