Do not fill this in! ==Judaism== {{main|Jewish liturgy}} Jewish liturgy is the [[prayer]] recitations that form part of the observance of Rabbinic [[Judaism]]. These prayers, often with instructions and commentary, are found in the ''[[siddur]]'', the traditional Jewish prayer book. In general, Jewish men are obligated to pray three times a day [[Zmanim|within specific time ranges (''zmanim'')]]. while, according most modern Orthodox authorities, women are only ''required'' to pray once daily, as they are generally exempted from obligations that are time dependent. All public prayer requires a [[minyan]], a quorum of 10 adults, to be present. Traditionally, three prayer services are recited daily: # ''[[Shacharit]]'' or ''Shaharit'' (砖址讞植专执转), from the [[Hebrew (language)|Hebrew]] ''shachar'' or ''shahar'' (砖址讞指专) "morning light", # ''[[Mincha]]'' or ''Minha'' (诪执谞职讞指讛), the afternoon prayers named for the flour offering that accompanied sacrifices at the [[Temple in Jerusalem]], # ''Arvit'' (注址专职讘执讬转) or ''[[Maariv]]'' (诪址注植专执讬讘), from "nightfall". Additional prayers: * ''[[Musaf]]'' (诪讜旨住指祝, "additional") is traditionally recited on [[Shabbat]], major [[Jewish holiday]]s (including [[Chol HaMoed]]), and [[Rosh Chodesh]]. * A fifth prayer service, ''[[Ne'ila]]'' (谞职注执讬诇指讛, "closing"), is recited only on [[Yom Kippur]], the Day of Atonement.
