Evening

Maariv, the evening service, was established by Yaakov Avinu. It focuses on the Shema and Amidah, transitioning us from the day’s activities to rest with spiritual peace. While originally voluntary, Maariv became a binding obligation and is a time for reflection, gratitude, and seeking divine protection through the night.
