Sim Shalom

Sim Shalom (Hebrew: שִׂים שָׁלוֹם; "Grant Peace") is a blessing that is recited at the end of the morning Amidah^[1] and the Mincha Amidah during fast days in the Ashkenazic tradition, and on mincha of the Sabbath in the Western Ashkenazic 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 (שָׁלוֹם רָב‎), is said instead. In the Sefardic, Nusach Sefard, Nusach Ari, Italian Nusach and Romaniote rites, Sim Shalom is said at all prayer services. In Provence tradition, Shalom Rav was recited in all prayers.^[2]
