Every morning before prayer, we have the custom to recite the passage of the Tamid<\/i> offering. However, Chazal<\/i> did not officially institute this practice, and therefore, its recital is not considered to be an absolute obligation. Still, the recital of the Tamid<\/i> passage is based on Chazal<\/i>\u2019s words in the Talmud (as will be clarified further). Moreover, the Chachamim<\/i> established the time of the Shacharit<\/i> prayer to correspond to the morning Tamid<\/i> offering. Therefore, Jews have been accustomed to recite the Tamid<\/i> section every day and its recital eventually became obligatory.<\/p>\n
Likewise, it is correct to recite the passage of the Ketoret<\/i> (incense) every day before prayer, for it too, was brought daily. The Zohar<\/i> (Vayakhel<\/i> 218:2) emphasizes the great benefits from its daily recital. Hence, it is proper that even one who is in a hurry says the passage of the Tamid<\/i> offering and the verses of the Ketoret<\/i>.<\/p>\n
The remaining paragraphs and prayers printed as part of the Korbanot<\/i> passages are important as well; however, their recital is not obligatory.[1]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n When someone does not have time to say the Tamid<\/i> paragraph, the verses of the Ketoret<\/i>, and all of Pesukei d\u2019Zimrah<\/i>, it is best that he omit Psalm 30 (\u201cMizmor Shir Chanukat HaBayit L\u2019David<\/i>,\u201d and Sephardim<\/i> begin \u201cAromimcha Hashem<\/i>\u201d) so that he can recite them. If time does not allow him, he should also omit Hodu LaHashem<\/i>. It is even permissible to skip Vayevarech David<\/i>, Az Yashir<\/i>, and Yehi Chevod <\/i>in order to recite the paragraph of the Tamid<\/i> offering and the verses of the Ketoret<\/i>. This is because the foundation for the recital of the Tamid<\/i> passage and verses of the Ketoret<\/i> is in the Talmud, whereas the other passages were added to Pesukei d\u2019Zimrah<\/i> by the Savora\u2019im<\/i> and Geonim<\/i>. However, one may not skip the main parts of Pesukei d\u2019Zimrah<\/i>, meaning Baruch She\u2019amar<\/i>, Ashrei<\/i> through the end of the Halleluyot<\/i>, and Yishtabach<\/i>, in order to say the verses of the Korbanot<\/i>, since those main parts of Pesukei d\u2019Zimrah<\/i> are obligatory. Those passages are so important that the Chachamim<\/i> even instituted saying blessings upon their recital.[2]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n
