אמירת תהילים refers to the recitation of Psalms (Tehillim) from the Book of Psalms, a common and important practice in Jewish tradition. Psalms are recited for various purposes, including spiritual reflection, prayer, and seeking divine intervention or protection.

In many communities, Tehillim is recited every day after davening (prayer), as well as on special occasions such as Shabbos Mevarchim (the Shabbat before the new month), when extra chapters are recited to invoke blessings for the coming month. Additionally, Tehillim is often said during times of need, illness, distress, or to mark significant events, both individually and in groups. This practice is a way to connect with Hashem, express faith, and seek comfort or guidance
