Schlissel Challah & Other Unusual Minhagim

When did people start making schlissel challah?  Why do women light multiple Shabbos candles when the Gemara says to light one?  Why do we say 'Shalom Aleichem' at Kiddush Levanah when according to Shulchan Aruch we should say 'Shalom Alecha'?  Rabbi Dr. Zvi Ron, author of Jewish Customs: Exploring Common and Uncommon Minhagim, answers these fascinating questions and more.   This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.
