Jews are duty bound to pray three times per day: in the morning (Shacharit), in the afternoon (Minchah) and in the evening (Arvith or Maariv). The Jewish book of prayers (Siddur) includes special prayers for each time. There are the thanksgiving prayers, the prayers of praise and the prayers that ask God for one’s needs. Many Jewish prayers include reciting aloud and singing hymns in the synagogue as well as prayers recited in private or public.
