Tachlis Halacha: Saying L’Dovid Hashem Ori When It’s Not Your Minhag

By Rabbi Tzvi Yaakov Stein

If an Ashkenazi attends a Sefardi minyan for Mincha (or vice versa), they are not required to recite “L’Dovid Hashem Ori” with them.

Since it’s a minhag and not a halachic requirement, not saying it doesn’t appear as disregarding the local tradition.
