<<3. Why don't Ashknezim say Parshas hatimd at Minhah as do Sephardim?<BR>IOW I get why Ashkenazim omit the ketores but why omit the Tamid?>><BR>

True, but... when R. Avraham Berliner (of the Berlin Rabbinical Seminary) returned to Berlin following a tour of Italy (I would guess around the turn of the 20th century), he introduced the custom of the shatz reciting parshas haTamid from the almemar with the taamei mikra before mincha. This was transplanted to Golders Green Beth Hamedrash Congregation (Munk's) in London by R. Dr. Eliyahu Munk (<A href="http://www.ggbh.org.uk/our_kehilla.htm">http://www.ggbh.org.uk/our_kehilla.htm</A>) and is still the custom there.<BR>
