My picture is too large to upload but in this. Mizrachi Siddur Ichveh Daat, the "Eli Devarim" part omits these items which are found in the Ashkenazi version?
I am pretty sure this passage is a mishna. Why the omission?

Did you check the Mishna? There must be a reference there – Double AA May 21 '17 at 13:42

Many picture editing programs allow you to resize the picture, or you can convert it to another format that's smaller (.tiff, .gif, .png). – DonielF May 21 '17 at 15:49

First we list off the mitzvot for which there is no set amount, which is Mishna Peah 1:1.
Then we get to a list of mitzvot for which one enjoys the interest in this world: there are several variations on that text in several places of the Talmud; and those places in the Talmud themselves may have variant readings as well. Presumably the siddur you'd seen follows the continuing text of Mishna Peah 1:1 that Mechon Mamre considers authoritative:
ואלו דברים שאדם אוכל מפירותיהן בעולם הזה, והקרן קיימת לו לעולם הבא--כיבוד אב ואם, וגמילות חסדים, והבאת שלום בין אדם לחברו; ותלמוד תורה כנגד כולם.
(The common Ashkanazi longer list appears to be based on a discussion in Bavli Shabbos 127a.)

Good answer. Is there a reason why different groups choose different versions? – Clint Eastwood May 21 '17 at 13:51
