Shabbat at Home Guide to Davening ASKT
 
NOTE: Page numbers are taken from the Artscroll RCA Siddur

Since there is minyan one can start Shabbos as early as Plag HaMincha which is at 6:58pm If you want to start Shabbat that early the best is to daven Mincha before 6:58pm and start Shabbat after that.  If you want to do a late Shabbat you can light at regular time and daven mincha before sunset at 8:34pm.

Candle Lighting: 8:16pm
 
Mincha - Ashrei (232) Amidah (234) and Aleinu (252)
 
Kabbalat Shabbat (308) at Home.  Make sure to dress up nice and to sing!!  Pick a nice tune or two for Lechah Dodi (316).
 
We skip Bameh Madlikin (322) and go straight to Maariv (330). (No Barchu is said) We say the paragraph of Vayechulu (346) and then skip the next three paragraphs and say Aleinu (350) and Vayigdal (12)
 
Friday Night Meal – Make sure to sing and give divrei Torah! Shalom Aleichem (354), Aishet Chayil (358), and Kiddush (360) followed by HaMotzi.
 
Shabbat, June 20th – Parshat Sh’lach
We will have an 8:30 am full davening on the patio.
NOTE: We are cancelling the 10:30am laining and Mussaf due to too small a number of people signing up
 
For Those Davening at Home:
Shacharit: daven at 8:30am (Shema should be recited before 9:02am)
Following Shacharit – the parsha of Sh’lach can be read from a Chumash.
Following that, one could read the Haftorah for Sh’lach (Joshua 2:1-24) (1184) Back to the Siddur – You could now say the mi-Shebeirach for the ill (442) and the mi-Shebeirach for Tzahal (444).  Remember to say the first Yekum Purkan (448) only.   Remember to say the prayers for the government and the State of Israel (450).
 
We say Birkat HaChodesh (452) The Molad for Tammuz will be on Sunday, 26 minutes and 13 chalokim after 12 am. Rosh Chodesh Tammuz will be on Monday and Tuesday.  We skip Av HaRachamim and say Ashrei (456) which is followed by the Mussaf Amidah (462).
 
I recommend singing Ein Keilokeinu (476), Aleinu (480), (Anim Zemirot is not recited without a minyan) Shir Shel Yom (488), and Adon Olam (12).
 
Kiddush (492) and Festive Shabbat meal (remember to sing and give divrei torah).
 
There is a widespread custom to study Pirkei Avot Shabbat afternoons until Rosh HaShana – this week is Chapter 4 (556).
 
Mincha: (in-person 2:00pm) (502) Ashrei and Uva Litzion.  Followed by Amidah for Mincha Shabbat (514).  We do say Tzidkascha.
 
Maariv (256). Remember to add the special insertion in the blessing of binah as part of the Amidah (268).  We say Vihi Noam (p. 594) followed by Aleinu (280)
