Reciting the Amidah Everyone is obligated to recite the Amidah three times (Women twice)a day. When possible, men should do this with a Minyan to fulfill the additional obligation of public prayer. Reply

Discussion on prayer Your teaching on prayers have been invaluable to me. I still have a great deal to learn about Judaism and study every day. My question is. When saying the Amidah can I say it at home without a Minyan?
Thank you
