How many times/ How long do Hasidim pray?
Hasidim like all Orthodox Jews, pray three times a day, “Shacharit” “Mincha” and “Maariv”. On the Sabbath and on Holidays a fourth Tefilla (prayer) is added called “Musaf”. On the holiest day of the year, Yom Kippur a fifth Tefilla is added called “Neila”. Shacharit usually takes about 45 minutes and must be done Halachically prior to about 10:30 AM. Mincha can be done any time between noon and sunset. Maariv is done after sunset. They both last about 15 minutes. 10 male adults are required in order to form a “Minyan” and be allowed to conduct the services publicly.
