# Mincha is very important because whereas [[Shacharit]] is recited in the morning before one gets involved in his daily routine and [[Arvit]] is recited at night, after one finishes with his day's work, mincha is recited in the middle of the day, which requires a person to put his personal affairs aside in order to pay attention to G-d. <ref> Kitzur | # Mincha is very important because whereas [[Shacharit]] is recited in the morning before one gets involved in his daily routine and [[Arvit]] is recited at night, after one finishes with his day's work, mincha is recited in the middle of the day, which requires a person to put his personal affairs aside in order to pay attention to G-d. <ref> Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 69:1.

# According to Ashkenazim, if there’s not enough time to complete Mincha with [[Chazarat HaShatz]] before [[Shekiyah]], then the Tzibbur should do an abbreviated Chazara by having the Sheliach Tzibbur say the first three [[Brachot]] out loud including [[Kedusha]], and then everyone else should start from the beginning. If there’s less time, while the Shaliach Tzibbur says that first three [[Brachot]] aloud everyone except one should read along word by word and then everyone should continue silently from there. <Ref>Mishna Brurah 124:8, 232:4, and 233:14.
