It would have nice had he also mentioned the many shuls throughout Israel that had people praying at the time of the korbonos.<br><br><div id="ymail_android_signature"><a id="ymail_android_signature_link" href="https://go.onelink.me/107872968?pid=InProduct&c=Global_Internal_YGrowth_AndroidEmailSig__AndroidUsers&af_wl=ym&af_sub1=Internal&af_sub2=Global_YGrowth&af_sub3=EmailSignature">Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android</a></div> <br> <blockquote style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;"> <div style="font-family:Roboto, sans-serif; color:#6D00F6;"> <div>On Fri, Nov 12, 2021 at 10:50 AM, Prof. L.

<p><strong style="color:rgb(34, 34, 34);">Q. </strong><span style="color:rgb(34, 34, 34);">How did the Jews daven while the Beis HaMikdash stood? Clearly not everyone brought korbanos every day.</span></p>
<p><strong style="color:rgb(34, 34, 34);">A. </strong><span style="color:rgb(34, 34, 34);">Thanks for your question. Prayer has always existed. Adam, Noah, Abraham and Moses all brought sacrifices but they also prayed. So, yes, our daily prayer services serve
as replacements for the absent sacrifices but there were also prayers when sacrifices were offered. (It might interest you to know that there was a synagogue on the Temple Mount as part of the Beit HaMikdash complex.) </span></p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(34, 34, 34);">Some prayers, like Shema, are in the Torah and were recited since the Torah was given. The obligation to bentch is in the Torah and the text we use was written in stages, parts by Moshe, Yehoshua, Dovid and Shlomo.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(34, 34, 34);">Originally, people composed their own prayers. The Shemoneh Esrei was composed by the Men of the Great Assembly at the end of the Biblical period – again, while the Temple was standing – and standardized about 400 years
later. So prayer and sacrifices definitely co-existed.</span></p>
