WHAT DOES ALEICHEM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Shalom aleichem

Shalom aleikhem,Shuloim Akaikhem, or sholoim aleikhem is a greeting version in Hebrew, meaning "peace be upon you". The appropriate response is "aleikhem shalom" Yiddish: עליכם־שלום, or "upon you be peace". This form of greeting is traditional among Jews throughout the world. The greeting is more common amongst Ashkenazi Jewish. It first found in Bereishit 43:23 and occurs six times in the Jerusalem Talmud. Only the plural form is used even when addressing one person. A religious explanation for this is that one greets both the body and the soul, but Hebrew does occasionally use the plural as a sign of respect.
