<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What is the abridged kabbolat Shabbat in <FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=3>Ashkenazi communities </FONT>? The only time I
have ever seen an "abridged" version is when I daven with a Sephardi minyan
which is maqpid to say "Mizmor Shir L'yom HaShabbat" before sundown. They will
often skip most of Kabbalot Shabbat.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>On that note: I have never been able to find the reason for the
"abridged" Kabbolas Shabbos in most Ashkenazi communities on these days.
I would be grateful to anybody who could explain it.</DIV>
