Categories: the Weekday Service, Minḥah | Tags: Nusaḥ Erets Yisrael, 21st century C.E., Petiḥot, 58th century A.M., Psalms 20, Psalms 145, Ashrei, Psalms 142, Psalms 84, Psalms 141, Psalms 143, Psalms 144 
One of the great things about Pesukei and Kabbalat Shabbat is that it enhances our feeling of holiness, that what we’re about to do is outside the secular world we’ve just left. Minḥah is the shortest service, and usually gone through the fastest. But it is still a spot of holiness in our afternoons, and we should keep that in mind. I hope that this text can help us remember that we can always take a break from our day to access some afternoon holiness. . . .
