Ministering Angels vs. Angels of Peace

Ministering Angels vs. Angels of Peace

This short post explains why, according to many traditions, the first stanza of «Shalom Aleichem» addresses the «ministering angels» («malachei hasharet») while the rest of them address the «angels of peace» («malachei hashalom»). This response by journalist Dovid Zaklikowski was posted on Chabad.org, the website of the Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidic movement.
