The schedule for holiday psalm readings according to the Sefaradi-‘Edot ha-Mizraḥ custom as recorded in the JPS Bible Commentary for Psalms 120 to 150 (with some additions from the Koren Edot ha-Mizraḥ siddur). ‘Edot ha-Mizraḥ is unique among rites in that it features two psalms for festival days — one at the beginning of Ma’ariv and one at the end of Ma’ariv. Other holidays have their psalm at the end of Shaḥarit, after the Psalm of the Day at the end of the service, while on Yom Kippur a cycle of ten psalms are inserted into Zemirot (or as Ashkenazim call it, P’sukei d-Zimra.)

- The views expressed in this work represent the views of their creator(s) and do not necessarily represent the views of the Open Siddur Project's developers, its diverse community of volunteer contributors, or its institutional partners.
- We strongly advise against printing sacred texts and art containing divine names as these copies must be regarded with reverence, complicating their casual treatment and disposal.
- If you must dispose of a printed sacred text (one containing Divine Names), please locate the closest genizah (often established by a synagogue) and contact its custodians for further instructions. We also recommend using Morah Yehudis Fishman's Prayer for Adding a Work to the Genizah.

The Open Siddur Project is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, non-commercial, non-denominational, non-prescriptive, gratis & libre Open Access archive of contemplative praxes, liturgical readings, and Jewish prayer literature (historic and contemporary, familiar and obscure) composed in every era, region, and language Jews have ever prayed. Our goal is to provide a platform for sharing open-source resources, tools, and content for individuals and communities crafting their own prayerbook (siddur). Through this we hope to empower personal autonomy, preserve customs, and foster creativity in religious culture.
