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 6:57pm If you want to start Shabbat that early the best is to daven Mincha before 6:57pm 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 8:31pm
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.

For Those Davening at Home:
Shacharit: daven at 8:30am (Shema should be recited before 9:10am)
Following Shacharit – the parsha of Pinchas can be read from a Chumash.
Following that, one could read the Haftorah for Pinchas (Jeremiah 1:1 - 2:3)
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).

Shabbat Nach Yomi:(Shabbat , July 11): Isaiah 38
Today’s Daf Yomi:(Friday, July 10): Shabbat Daf 126
Customarily during the three weeks, we refrain from haircuts and shaving, listening to music and dancing, and buying new fruits or clothing that will require a Shecheyanu blessing.
However, please see the ruling of Rav Herschel Schachter, Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshiva University about music during the three weeks:
"The period of mourning beginning on Shiva Asar B’Tamuz (The Three Weeks), is patterned off of the classical laws of Avelius when mourning a deceased parent. When mourning the loss of a parent, we have a custom to abstain from listening to joyful music. However, one would be allowed to listen to music if they felt it was needed to help assuage their personal feelings of anxiety or depression. At the current time due to the ongoing pandemic, the entire world is in a state of uncertainty and concern. One who feels compelled to listen to music in order to help alleviate their tension or pressure would be allowed to do so. This would especially apply to Erev Shabbos, when listening to music would create a positive frame of mind in anticipation of Shabbos. "
