Shabbat at Home Guide to Davening ASKT
 
NOTE: Page numbers are taken from the Artscroll RCA Siddur
 
One can start Shabbos as early as Plag HaMincha which is at 6:59 If you want to start Shabbat that early the best is to daven Mincha before 6:59pm 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
 
Mincha (7:00pm) - 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, July 4th
We will have an 8:30 am full davening on the patio.
 
For Those Davening at Home:
Shacharit: daven at 8:30am (Shema should be recited before 9:07am)
Following Shacharit – the parsha of Chukat-Balak can be read from a Chumash.
Following that, one could read the Haftorah for Chukat-Balak (Micah 5:6 - 6:8)  
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 Av HaRachamim (454) and 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 5.
 
Mincha: (in-person 7:00pm) (502) Ashrei and Uva Litzion.  Followed by Amidah for Mincha Shabbat (514).
 
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)
 
Havdallah (618): at 9:16pm, Say Baruch HaMavdil bein Kodesh Lichol and then you can drive to shul for our 9:30pm minyan.
