How many times a year would Jews go to the synagogue?

From the beginning of the synagogue as an institution, some Jews have attended services twice daily (if the afternoon and evening services are consecutive so counted as one attendance). That's 730 times a year. From the beginning, not all Jews have been able to attend that frequently.Synagogues emerged in or not long after the Babylonian exile. They were and still are typically a local institution, easily accessible to the residents of the community they serve. The original synagogue services were organized to correspond to the sacrificial services in the Temple in Jerusalem, so at the time the priest should be conducting the morning (Shacharit) sacrifice, a Sacharit service was held in the synagogue, and the afternoon (Mincha) sacrifice would be paralleled with a Mincha service. The evening (Maariv) may have emerged later and is not parallel to a service of sacrifice in the Temple. Frequently, Mincha and Maariv are combined into one service, with Mincha immediately before sunset and Maariv right after.In summary, observant Jews living close enough to a synagogue to step in for every service might attend as frequently as 730 times a year (twice a day, day in and day out). Long ago, Jews recognized that not all Jews would be able to do this, and it is acceptable to pray any of the services on your own if you can't make it to synagogue. Morning services are generally considered higher priority, and Saturday, Monday and Thursday mornings are special because they have Torah Readings. Shabbat (Sabbath) services are more important.


How long does a minyan last?

A minyan is a quorum of at least 10 male Jews at or over the age of 13. It's the minimum-size group required in order to conduct a communal prayer service. With fewer than 10, the prayers are considered individual and private, and the communal elements of a service aren't included, such as reading the Torah and reciting the mourners' Kaddish. Answer: A minyan (communal prayers) for weekday shacharit (morning prayers) will typically last about 30 to 50 minutes.
