I was listening to a Jewish oration and mention was made of not saying Psalms between (something said in Hebrew). Not knowing Hebrew I was not sure what was being spoken of. Are there times or places, according to your traditions, that you are not supposed to read/sing/pray the Psalms.

    Most of our time is in fact not spent singing Psalms. Are you looking for something more specific?

  • IT sounded like there was a time you are not supposed to sing them according to your tradition.

    There are opinions that hold that one should not recite psalms between nightfall and midnight. Perhaps that is what was being referenced. See here: dailyhalacha.com/m/halacha.aspx?id=2539 and here: dinonline.org/2010/07/25/tehillim-at-night

  • Interesting. Do I understand correctly that it is in regard to placing priority on Torah at those times? Why those specific days?

    @Sarah see dinonline.org/2010/07/25/tehillim-at-night might be more clear, all day exept shabos and yom tov (and the day that you are obligated to say anyway)
