Sim Shalom (; "Grant Peace") is a blessing that is recited at the end of the morning Amidah and the Mincha Amidah during fast days in the Nusach Ashkenaz, and at mincha on Shabbat in the Western Ashkenazi rite and most communities in Israel; during the evening service and the Mincha service of non-fast days (or sabbath according to some traditions), a different version of this prayer, Shalom Rav (), is said instead. In the Sefardic, Nusach Sefard, Nusach Ari, Italian Nusach and Romaniote rites, Sim Shalom is said at all prayer services. In the nusach of Provence, Shalom Rav was recited in all prayers.Seder Hatmid siddur.
