Saying Yasher Koach to the Kohanim, the Makri and Shliach Tzibur
How important is it for one to thank the Kohanim after they perform Nesias Kapayim, as well as the Makri and Shliach Tzibur for Davening?
Doing so is a very old tradition, and is viewed as a completion of the service of the Kohen and Baal Tefila and helps to receive the Bracha from the Kohen.

The melody of the chabad birchas kohanim
From where does the Chabad melody that is customarily sung by the priestly blessing, come from?
It originated from the choir of the Mittler Rebbe. Interestingly, the Rebbe Rayatz testifies that he heard it for the first time while he was in the city of Riga, in the 1930s. From here we can understand that it was not traditionally sung in Lubavitch, and while perhaps it was composed by the choir or a member of the choir, it never became the official tradition until later.

May one answer all the Amens of the first Half Kaddish in Pesukei Dezimra?
The accepted and widespread custom recorded in Poskim is to answer all the Amens of the first Half of Kaddish in Pesukei Dezimra. However, some argue that according to Admur in his Shulchan Aruch, this is incorrect, and that rather one can only answer for the middle and last Amen of the Half Kaddish.
