During mincha on Shabas, many people say psalms 111 and 112. I've seen them posted on the walls of some synagogues, in fact; one such copy that I've seen has the word "hal'lu[k]ah" appended to the end of 112. I've also heard people say the psalms with that word appended to the end of 112. Does anyone know of a source for adding this word, or a reason for doing so?

  • Pesachim 117a and it is confirmed by manuscript evidence. So I can think of reasons not to append the word :)

  • Any idea in which communities/traditions this custom might be found?

  • @DoubleAA, re "which communities/traditions": not really. In general AFAICT the psalms are said in nusach S'farad I think, which generally (but not exactly) corresponds to chasidim. More specific than that I can't get. (And I'm not even sure the psalms are specific to nusach S'farad, which is why I didn't use that tag.)

    Sefardim say 111 after Kadish Titkabal before Kadish Yatom. I've never seen 112 though. Jul 8, 2013 at 23:11
