Shir Shel Aliyah (Yemenite-Persian Aliyah Songs)
The Yemenite-Persian custom of singing the Psalm of the Day during Torah aliyot — slowing and intensifying the weekly reading.
In some Yemenite and Persian communities, the weekly Torah reading is accompanied by sung verses during the "aliyot" (the calling-up of congregants), slowing the reading and lifting it into melody. The custom turns the public Torah reading into a more drawn-out, musical communal experience, preserving an older style of chanting Scripture.
