Best Answer

I see two possible ways of reading your question. 1: For how many years have we had the practice of praying and reading the Torah. 2: What is the greatest number of hours that Jews ever read the Torah and pray in a single day.

To answer:

1) The practice of Jewish prayer goes back 3800 years, to the time of Abraham (Talmud, Yoma 28b); and the practice of public Torah-reading goes back 3300 years, to the time of Moses (Talmud, Bava Kama 82a).

2) The longest set of prayers and Torah-reading is on Yom Kippur and lasts (in some congregations) the entire day of about 12 hours plus 3-4 hours the previous evening, which in Judaism is all considered a single day. Other congregations have a break during the Yom Kippur prayers of anywhere from one-half hour to about three hours.
