This traditional evening service takes place at 7PM and concludes at approximately 7:20PM.  The prayer service is conducted almost exclusively in Hebrew; however, there are transliterated siddurim (prayerbooks) available. Lay leaders usually lead the service except when there is a special occasion such as a festival. When there is a shiva minyan(mourner’s service) taking place at a congregant’s home, this minyan is “moved” to the home of the mourner and does not take place in the synagogue.
