Point of correction: People shouldn't think those footnotes are from
RSRH, they're from Ashirah Lashem <http://www.aishdas.org/siddur.shtml>,
and are my own extrapolations from RSRH.

: Although I'm an Ashkenazi, I have felt the need to complain 
: a number of times about the tendency in many postings to 
: limit the world to an Ashkenazi one and discuss Ashkenazi 
: behavior as the only proper or only existing one.

I could claim that it's a non-issue, as this is a footnote from a Fri
night siddur that is a recreation of Nusach RYBS.

However, then people would think I actually knew that Sepharadim held
differently. I didn't.

: Kabbalat Shabbat, (a.k.a. as Qabbalat Shabbat or even 
: Kabbalath Shabbath by the better informed) was instituted by 
: the mekubbalim in Tzefat.  The Ari, who evidently did not 
: say the preceding mizmorim, said Mizmor leDavid as a 
: kabbalat tosefet Shabbat.

How do Sepharadim hold today lemaaseh?

In Ashk shuls, the aveilim (l"a) enter the shul after LD, before Mizmor
Shir leYom haShabbos, as that's the last point at which they can
show aveilus berabbim. Do Seph aveilim enter before Mizmor leDavid?

Thanks again for the reeducation, and :-)BBii!
