How many times do Jews pray each day?

Answer 1

The length of the prayers ranges from ten minutes (weekday afternoon prayer) to about 45 minutes (weekday morning prayer), 2 1/2 hours (Sabbath morning) and 5-6 hours or more (High Holy days).

Answer 2

A Jew prays three times each day. The longest prayer is first thing in the morning, as soon after sunrise as possible. The afternoon prayer is said between mid-day (according to a calculation of the sun) and sunset, and the evening prayer can be said any time after dusk. Male Jews over 13 are obligated to pray in a quorum of 10. Most synagogues juxtapose the afternoon and evening prayers so that here is no need to go to the synagogue a third time.

On the new moon and festivals and the Sabbath, an additional prayer is added to the morning service. On Yom Kippur a fifth prayer is added before sundown.

Answer 3

Regarding public prayer, Orthodox Jews pray 3 times a day during the week, and 4 times on Shabbat (the sabbath). Reform and Conservative Jews generally pray on Shabbat (Friday night and/or Saturday morning).

Jews can engage in private prayer at any time, as often as they wish.

Answer 4

Religious Jews pray every day of the year, three times per day. The weekly day of rest, with a longer morning service, is Saturday (Shabbat, from Friday sundown until Saturday night). Festivals also have special prayer-services.See:

Answer 5

Orthodox Jews pray THREE TIMES per day in a morning service - shakharit (שחרית), an afternoon service - minkha (מנחה), and an evening service - ma'ariv (מעריב). There is no exact time when each of these prayers must be had, but typically, shakharit takes place between dawn and noon, minkha takes place between noon and sunset, and ma'ariv takes place between sunset and midnight. On holidays (like Shabbat), there is an extra service called musaf (מוסף).

Liberal Jews pray far less often. Some will pray for shakharit and musaf on Shabbat weekly, some on occasional Shabbats, some exclusively on the High Holy Days (Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur), and some are Atheists who do not pray at all.
