Question
The chazan and the congregation are rushing through the recitation of 'LeDavid Mizmor' and 'U'vnucho Yomar' after the Torah reading. Should they skip, and what should they skip?
Answer
Greetings and a good month
On Shabbat, it is preferable to skip 'U'vnucho Yomar' as it does not have a strong source, and to say 'Mizmor LeDavid Havu LaHashem' etc., which has a source in the Tur. If it is not possible, then skip it as well.
On weekdays, there is not much source for both parts, but it seems that 'LeDavid Mizmor' should be said, as it is a complete chapter and not collected verses.
