[[Mincha]] is the second of the three daily prayers, and it may be recited from shortly after noon until sundown. Mincha usually begins with Ashrei and then Shmoneh Esrei with a repetition, followed by [[Tachanun]] and Aleinu. Some recite the Parshat HaTamid and Ketoret beforehand, as well. | |||

# 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. The gemara in [[berachot]] 6b tells us that mincha is extremely important because Eliyahu Hanavi was answered during the mincha [[prayer]] in Melachim Alef 18:36 </ref> | # 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.
