What do we do? Abaye said: From the morning to midday we examine the affairs of the town; from midday to evening, for a quarter of the day we read the Torah portion and the haftarah, and for a quarter we ask for mercy as it says, “And they read in the scroll of the Torah of their Lord a fourth part of the day, and another part they confessed and prostrated themselves before the Lord their God” (Nehemiah 9:3).
