Judaism requires Jews to
offer prayers three times a
day.
In talmudic literature
two basic phenomena are
cited as the basis for prayers
being offered three times
daily. One school of thought
expresses the belief that the
three daily prayers corre-
spond to the three Pat-
riarchs of Israel, i.e., Ab-
raham, Isaac and Jacob.
Some commentaries ex-
pand on this statement to
indicate that each of the
three Patriarchs repre-
sented the three basic emo-
tional situations in daily
life.
Abraham, who dis-
covered the Hebrew
faith, is designated as the
father of the morning
prayer because the morn-
ing is the beginning of the
day — a time when

88. A newspaperman at an

human hopes are fresh
and enthusiastic an-
ticipating the events of
the day. It was to Ab-
.raham that the Almighty
made the promise of a
land and progeny.
Isaac was generally char-
acterized as an even-
tempered existence of tran-
sition. The afternoon serv-
ice of Minha serves as a
bridge between the light of
the day and the dark of the
evening. At such a time,
when our lives are on an
even course of transition
from one episode to the next,
there is something to pray
for.
Jacob, representing the
dark of the night, lived
through many crises. The
evening prayers are thus
representative of Jacob. A
person thus prays three
times a day to represent the
three moods of prayer;
crisis, evenness and antici-
pation.
Others maintain the
idea that the three daily
prayers represent the
three periods of daily
sacrifice in the Temple of
old in Jerusalem. The
morning prayers repre-
sent the daily morning
sacrifice offered there.
The evening prayers re-
present the fire that
would burn through the
night, consuming the af-
ternoon sacrifice.
Obviously, prayer is an
act of sacrifice. One sac-
rifices his time in praying.
He also sacrifices his dig-
nity and his ego in admit-
ting that he is in need and is
not all-powerful. Some trace
the custom to pray thrice
daily to a verse in the
Psalms which states: "Eve-
fling, morning and noon will
I meditate and cry
out...(Psalms 55;18).
