Shabbat Davening

Asked by Arnie Williamson · August 18, 2003 · Prayer

Question

Rabbi Abadi Your reply to Yoilee was right on the money! Who has the patients to say the entire davening these days with our hectic schedules. But I have a further question. On shabbat, there are just too may prayers in the davening. Our morning shabbat minyam last for 3 long hours. Can I say just a few chapters from the siddur, the shema, shemone esrai, and listen to the torah and fulful my prayer obligations? Thanks.
