| Dec 5, 2017 at 20:45 | comment | added | ezra | @DanF *Rabbi Zlotowitz ztz''l R' Nosson Scherman is still alive though and he might know, being so close to him and also helping in the compilation of the various siddurim and tehillim'lech from ArtScroll. | |
| Dec 5, 2017 at 20:32 | comment | added | DanF | @ezra I'm somewhat skeptical. Rabbi Zlotowitz who compiled the majority of the Siddurim was recently niftar. He was encyclopedic in his knowledge of these types of items, and, if he didn't know, himself, he knew whom to contact. | |

| Dec 5, 2017 at 19:52 | comment | added | ezra | I seem to recall a similar custom in which a visitor recites the corresponding letter sections in Tehillim 119 according to the deceased person's name. | |
| Dec 5, 2017 at 18:31 | comment | added | DanF | Thanks for the edit. I'm somewhat surprised that Art Scroll doesn't offer some explanation. I'm particularly surprised that they strayed from the pretty common "minhag" of excluding #23. You tend to see that one almost everywhere else. Does Art Scroll specify when these should be said? I.e. - funeral, unveiling, just visiting or any / all of these occasions? | |

For example, chevrakadisha.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/prayer_book.pdf has a completely different mix. Psalm 23 seems extremely common, from what I have seen, and I don't see it in your list. | |
