For Jews, there are three prayer times: morning, afternoon and evening. Most prayer groups combine the afternoon and evening prayers into one.
During the weekday when it is not a holiday, Jews have a practice of putting on leather amulets called tefillin. Tallit, the prayer shawl, is worn during the morning services on weekdays and Shabbat/holidays.
