10. Reciting Ashrei Tivchar:[1]

After the Baruch Haba is said, the congregation[2] [and Mohel[3]] recite aloud the verse of Ashrei Tivchar…Vayidaber…Pinchas Ben Elazar… until the words Brisi Shalom.

[2] Implication of Siddur Admur; Taz ibid that it is accustomed for the entire congregation to recite this verse; Mishmeres Shalom 18:2; See Shevach Habris 18:3 footnote 9

Other customs: According to the Zohar ibid, the beginning of the verse [Ashreiy..Chatzeirecha] is recited by the father of the child, and the second half of the verse [Nishbeah…Heichalecha] by the congregation. This however is not the Ashkenazi custom. [Taz ibid; Darkei Moshe ibid] The Sephardic custom however follows this approach.

[3] Today, it is mostly customary for only the Mohel to recite this verse. Vetzaruch Iyun.
