<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">It is the accepted practice that when one meets someone that one knows one greets them. In Israel, on a weekday one says &ldquo;boker tov&rdquo;, on Shabbos &ldquo;Shabbat shalom&rdquo; and on Yom Tov &ldquo;Chag sameach&rdquo;. The Shabbos greeting includes the word &ldquo;shalom&rdquo;. If therefore one meets someone on Shabbos morning before davening, is it preferable to give a greeting which does not include the word &ldquo;shalom&rdquo; such as &ldquo;Gut Shabbes&rdquo; or can one say that &ldquo;Shabbat shalom&rdquo; just parallels the words &ldquo;boker tov&rdquo; which one says on a weekday, and that it is not one&rsquo;s intention to give shalom?</span></p>
