Question
We have the custom that the father blesses the children on Friday night with 'May God make you...' and 'May the Lord bless you and keep you.' The question is whether there is a concern of 'you and not strangers'?
Answer
Continue the custom, and it is preferable to intend explicitly not for the fulfillment of the commandment of the Priestly Blessing, or to place one hand.
