    Who made it?

    Why do we say the thing after Shabbos Mussaf, listing all the shir shel yoms?

    What kavana do you have while you say it?

    (I am always thinking, oh it’s tuesday already… it feels like wednesday!)

    Making an effort to investigate never hurt anyone.

    Look, I don’t have access to an ArtScroll Siddur, and even if I did, there is nothing wrong with asking. Perhaps there’s another reason that’s not mentioned in the siddur.

    Why transcribe? Feel free to summarize!!!

    What would you have done before Artscroll? You would have asked someone!! That’s what I’m doing now!

    1] Come on now, simply translate what you are reading. You have quoted many ma’amarei chazal in the coffee room already. You seem smart enough to translate:

    Hayom-Today

    Yom Rishon- The first day

    Bashabbos- of the week

    Shebo- That on it

    Hayu- They were

    Halevi’im- The Levi’im

    Omrim- Said

    Shir- Song

    B’bais Hamikdash- In the Mikdash

    2] It’s a mishnah which reviews the weekly portions of shira.

    3] Everyone has their own thoughts. Some think about whether the line at the Dunkin Donuts drive through window will be too long, some think can’t the chazzan speed up a little bit, some imagine the levi’im singing in the mikdash and begin to harmonize with them, some are busy wrapping up their tefillin and have a foot out the door. You get the point. Whatever floats your boat!

    1. Whoops… I meant to ask when did it get put in the siddur and why?

    Did they say this when they brought the Korban Tamid?

    Also, if it’s because of the Bais HaMikdash reason as artchill implied, then why don’t we say afterwards the yehi ratzon of unishalma parim sefaseinu? (I daven Ashkenaz does that change things?)

    2. OK, so why do we say it? Did they say that in the BHMK too?

    3. Thanks for your serious answer!!! I am really curious about this!

    If you are curious about these types of things then you will love the Artscroll Interlinear translated Siddur. It has explanations before each Tefillah and great translations as well as some added explanation of what specific words or concepts are. I can’t compare my Davening before, to after I got this siddur. Consider it a MUST BUY. (They also just put out a new Siddur, that may be a good choice as well but I didn’t look into it so check at Eichlers or wherever you go) you could probably also see samples online at Artscrolls website.

    I just looked it up in my siddur, in short, the Shir was said by the Leviim daily during the Tamid shel shachar. We say it as a memorial to the Bais Hamikdosh. Each one represents the importance and significance of that day of the week and is full references to what was created that day of the week. We start off Yom Rishon (sheni…) bshabos to be mekayem the Mitzvah to remember Shabbos always.

    Now go buy that Siddur you’ll thank me!!! 🙂

    Thank you so much WIY – I just scanned the new topics and didn’t notice it. Thank you so much for your patience.

    Thank you – I looked at it and it is amazing (turns out my mother and sister both have it and love it.)
