 Divrei Mordechai - Shavuot 5760
The Magen Avraham says that this is similar to the Halakhah regarding washing hands before eating bread, in which we also say the blessing after the mitzvah of washing because the hands are impure.
Rabbi Yechezkel Landau in his Dagul Mervavah argues with the Magen Avraham's application of the principle of "Lo Pelug." He says that when it comes to washing hands, we always say the blessing after the washing (Lo Pelug) because the same blessing is said on all hand washing (Al Netilat Yadim).
Rabbi Avraham Danzig in Nishmat Adam, Hilkhot Shabbat, Klal #5, says that while he is not worthy of disagreeing with the Magen Avraham, he does find fault with his proofs.

Avraham Bornstein (1839-1910), one of the best known Orthodox halakhists of his generation, writes:
[For instance, Avraham Danzig, Hayei Adam, Hilkhot Megillah, 155a] They state this as a plain fact, so plain that they see no need to present any proof for their claim.
However it is hard to understand why they have done so, as the Mishneh Torah is quite clear on this issue: Amalekites may indeed convert to Judaism.

But if you have a well-founded worry that she will take advantage of your good will, then you should turn to Plan B and consult with someone who is fully qualified to apply Torah law in the light of local custom.

One should not invite the Tokea on Rosh Hashana to do the Metitza.

The Gemara [Shabbat 113a] teaches that "Your Shabbat clothes should not be the same as your weekday clothes".
In a most insightful comment, Rabbi Avraham Danzig [1748-1820], in his work Ĥokhmat Adam points out that the best clothes that we wear on Shabbat are not for the benefit of those around us, they are in honour of Shabbat; therefore we should dress this way even when we are completely alone for Shabbat.
We, certainly, should dress ourselves in a smart outfit - the kind we would wear if we were going to be presented to an important personality or on an important occasion when we want to look our best.
