Mincha (Hebrew: מִנְחָה, IPA: [minˈχa]; sometimes spelled Minchah, Minhah, Mincho or Minchuh) is the afternoon prayer service in Judaism.
[3] However, occasionally the Bible uses "mincha" to specifically refer to the afternoon Temple sacrifice.
[4] Rabbis in the Talmud debate whether the daily prayers have their origin in the behavior of the biblical Patriarchs, or in the Temple sacrifices.
[5] According to the first opinion, the Mincha prayer was originated by Isaac, who "went out to converse in the field",[6] with God.
On Yom Kippur, Ashkenazim postpone Ashrei and Uva Letzion until the Ne'ila service.
