Sim Shalom

Sim Shalom (Hebrew: שִׂים שָׁלוֹם‎; "Grant Peace") is a blessing that is recited at the end of the morning Amidah and the Mincha Amidah during fast days in the Ashkenazic tradition. In the Sefardic, Chasidic-Sefardic, and Nusach Ari rites, Sim Shalom is said at all prayer services. During the evening service and the Mincha servicer of non-fast days, a different version of this prayer, Shalom Rav (שָׁלוֹם רָב‎), is said instead.
