(Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim 130:1) Since it takes time to say this tefillah, the chazzan sings a “tune without words” extending for about half a minute at the last word in each of the three verses of duchaning. (Mishnah Berurah 130:3) In Chutz La’aretz where one only duchans at mussaf on Yom Tov, this singing has to be limited to the days of Yom Tov (occurring on a weekday). However, in Eretz Yisroel where there is duchaning every day of the year, surely a case could be made for this “tune without words” to be sung every weekday, for the sake of people who have had a worrying dream on the previous night. </span></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';" lang="EN-GB">The Shiurei Knesses Hagedolah (Orach Chaim 220:5) discusses the question of when a minyan of people fast a ta’anis chalom on Shabbos, whether the shaliach tzibur can say “aneinu” in the repetition of the amidah at minchah, and concludes that he had found no source to forbid it. On this basis, possibly one could also do the leining for a fast day on such a Shabbos? In such a case how would it be organised? A parallel case is a communal fast on Rosh Chodesh, when one leins the Rosh Chodesh leining at shacharis and “vayechal” at minchah. </span><span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;" lang="EN-GB">(Kaf Hachaim 418:2)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';" lang="EN-GB">Likewise here, one would lein the parashas hashavua at shacharis on the Shabbos, and at minchah “vayechal” would override the normal Shabbos minchah leining in a similar way as when Yom Kippur falls on a Shabbos.</span></span></span></p>
