What is the sefardi custom of arayat?

It just means “kiriat” which means keria – ‘to read’. Custom is in many words to drop the kuf.

Syrians have the custom to read sefer tehilim for the niftar on or before the shiva.

An Arayat is the reading of sefer tehillim, hespedim followed by making berachot l’iluy neshama. This is done during shiva, at the sheloshim and at the end of aveilut

MisAskim volunteers are amazing!
Watching them not only help out in the house with such respect and compassion, but vacuuming and folding chairs at 11 at night gave me chills.
