The opening as it read in 2025
Shir Shel Yom (שִׁיר שֶׁל יוֹם), meaning "'song' [i.e. Psalm ] of [the] day [of the week]" consists of one psalm recited daily at the end of the Jewish morning prayer services known as shacharit ; in the Italian rite they are recited also at Mincha and before Birkat Hamazon . Each day of the week possesses a distinct psalm that is referred to by its Hebrew name as the shir shel yom and each day's shir shel yom is a different paragraph of Psalms . Although fundamentally similar to the Levite's song that was sung at the Holy Temple in Jerusalem in ancient times, there are some differences between the two.
