To keep from actually looking at the screen now, Jonah whirled in his seat to glare at Katherine. There was a good chance that Jonah’s name might be on the list coming up on the computer screen before them. Before Jonah had a chance to reply, she shoved her hand over his, pressing his finger down on the mouse. Did Google lock up or something? Hit that link again. What’s wrong? his sister, Katherine, said from behind him. I’ll be brave enough in a minute, he told himself. He kept his finger poised over the computer mouse. So surely he was brave enough to call up a list of names on a computer. He’d recently survived time travel, a war zone, betrayal, deception, mutiny, and the near destruction of time itself. Jonah Skidmore took a deep breath as he peered at the, computer screen in front of him. ![]() ![]() ![]() Abraham created the prayer time for Shacharit, Isaac for Mincha and Jacob for Maariv. Our Sages attribute the origin of our three daily prayer services to our patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. But in that fact alone lies perhaps its major importance and necessity. It is not the length of Mincha that has caused this, but rather its inconvenience in coming in the middle of a busy working afternoon. ![]() Mincha is usually a 10-to-15-minute prayer service, but for much of the Jewish world, it has become almost a forgotten prayer service. Aleynu is a reaffirmation of Jewish goals and a hope for the better world for all humankind. It is composed of the recitation of Psalm 145, the Amidah, a prayer of repentance and the concluding prayer to all Jewish prayer services, Aleynu. The shortest prayer service of the day takes place in the afternoon, or at least just before sunset, and is called Mincha. It is much shorter in length than Shacharit, but nevertheless includes again within it the basic Shema and Amidah prayers. ![]() The Maariv prayer takes place at night, after sunset. It is the longest of the three daily prayers and contains within it the basic affirmations of Judaism ― the Shema, the Amidah and the ideas of repentance, self-improvement and loyalty to God and Israel. The Shacharit prayer takes place in the morning. Jews are bidden to pray three times daily to God. ![]() ![]() ![]() After some futile attempts to plant the fruit pit, Laura despairs.
