Does anyone have a picture of what the reversed nun in פרשת בהעלתך looks like in S&P ktab?(I know, very out of sync with the lection cycle. Still.)Thanks!

My son, IY"H, will be turning three at the end of November.What are the S&P practices for the occasion?

When do girls start lighting Saba candles in S&P tradition and how many candles do they light?

B"H I am getting remarried in December. What descriptors are used for a previously married woman in the ketubah?

I know it was traditional for the women of the Kehillah to make mantles for the Torah out of their old dresses. How is this squared with Oraḥ Ḥayim 147:1?

Are there foods that it is traditional to serve for Sengudat Pureem?Starting my menu planning early this year.

A linguistics professor friend of mine is puzzling over this 18th century S&P Hebrew grammar book. Does anyone have any insight to offer?

Is it S&P custom to hang m'zuzot vertically or on an angle?

What is the S&P greeting for Ḥanukkah?

I learned last week that it is the tradition of many, both Ashkenazi and S'pharadi, to have 4 tagin on the ב of בראשית in the Sefer Torah. Does S&P have this custom?

Questions about S&P lulab custom:1) Are there any types or colors of ribbons that are traditional or particularly preferred for decorating the lulab?2) I was told that it is S&P custom to turn one's entire body to face in the four directions when shaking the lulab, instead of poking it over the shoulders. Is this true?

Is there an S&P term for pareve?

Is there a formula for inserting prayers for a sick individual in ברכת הרפואה in the תפילה?I know Ashkenazim have a standard formula for this. Do we?

Calling all of those who have S&P m'gillot. I have a photo of a scroll that I saw in Bevis Marks several years ago that shows the column with the ten sons. The names are not all justified to take up the same width as they are in Ashkenazi m'gillot. Can anyone tell me if this is standard S&P custom, or if that scroll I saw is an oddball?Thanks.

Do we have any information on how S&P gentlemen wore their Tefilin shel Rosh when wigs or elaborate pompadours were requirements of proper dress?

Are there foods that are traditional in the S&P community for the New Year? Or in different regional S&P communities?

Is there a female counterpart to the S&P honorary formula of הגביר הנעלה?

Does anyone have any information about the choices Rev. Dr. de Sola Pool made about punctuation in his Book of Prayers? I am particularly curious about his use of periods to the exclusion of commas. Was it just a printing convention or was there more to it?(It has always bothered my Chicago Manual of Style-trained eye, but after a few Shabatot with the new Koren, it is really jumping out at me.)

Over Yom Tob, I noticed something I consider odd in both the Gaon and the De Sola Pool machzorim for Festivals. The headers on the services for The Sabbath of the Intermediate Days read, in Hebrew, as לחול המועד ושבת. I would ordinarily expect the phrase to be לשבת חול המועד. Is this a particular S&P idiom? Or a particularity of the British S&P community?
