Davening Times

Local Baltimore minyan and shul times — sourced from Baltimore Jewish Life. Adult JCA classes are scheduled specifically around Mincha and Ma'ariv so no student ever has to choose between tefillah and training.

Adult classes are scheduled to allow davening for Mincha and Ma'ariv around local shul times. We coordinate with community minyan schedules to ensure no student misses tefillah for training.

Mincha / Ma'ariv Scheduling Policy

JCA adult classes (7:30–8:30 PM and 8:30–9:30 PM) are timed specifically to begin after the community Mincha/Ma'ariv minyan. Exact start times shift slightly with the zmanim calendar — enrolled students are notified of any timing adjustments at the start of each month.
