We touch the beginning and end with a tallis or the gartel (if no

I'm confused.  The responses here seem to suggest that this is not 
a Lubavitch minhag, yet I, like the original poster, was under the 
impression it was.  In fact, the only people I know who do this are 
either Chabad themselves, or became frum at a Chabad shul.  So 
whose minhag is this, actually?

The baal Mateh Efrayim was, AFAIK, no Lubavitcher...
