communal prayers
Shared religious recitations
Communal prayers are prayers recited collectively by a group, typically in a religious service or gathering.
The term emphasizes shared worship rather than private devotion: The congregation rose for communal prayers.
In Judaism, certain prayers require a minyan—a quorum of ten adults—to be recited as communal prayers.
