The Liturgy of the Hours, sometimes called the Divine Office, seven times of prayer during the day, is often called "the prayer of the church."

The most important of these times of prayer are Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer (Vespers). These are Christian adaptations of the prayers prayed in the Jewish village synagogues daily. The Jews adopted these times of reading from the Scripture and prayer after being exiled from Israel and, thus, no longer being able to offer sacrifices in the temple.

Christians added readings from the New Testament and prayer in the name of Jesus to this formula, after being expelled from the synagogues of the Jews.

A psalm verse says, "Seven times a day will I praise you." Thus shorter, often five minute offices, with short readings and prayers have been developed and are offered by contemplative communities of nuns and monks as a means of seeking God's blessing on the whole world.

Today, in the Roman Catholic church, the ancient night office has been transformed into the Office of Readings, which can be said anytime during the day, and includes longer Scripture readings and readings from the early church, saints and even documents of the church.

There are actually different versions of the Liturgy of the Hours approved by bishops for different countries and regions of the world. Catholic priests and nuns and monks are bound by church law to say at least morning and evening prayer daily. There are also unofficial versions of the Office offered within and outside the Roman Catholic church. The Church of England was the first to put a liturgy of the the hours in the native language of the people and to try to restore the office to the laity.

When do orthodox Jews worship?

Judaism prescribes three formal daily periods of prayer. Listed from the beginning of the day, they are: 1). The Evening Prayers; recited any time after the sky is dark enough to recognize three stars, until midnight. 2). The Morning Prayers; recited any time after the sky is light enough to recognize an acquaintance. 3). The Afternoon Prayers; recited any time after the middle of the day. When the prayers are recited publicly by a group of people, for example in a synagogue, one service is scheduled early in the morning, that can conclude in time for people to get to work, and another single service is usually scheduled for late in the day, for example 1/2 hour before sunset, when the afternoon service and the next day's evening service can be conducted sequentially during one attendance. Orthodox Jews who pray regularly will recite these three services daily. Orthodox Jews who do not pray regularly, as well as Conservative, Reform, Traditional, Reconstructionist, and other Jews, will adopt their own routines individually, reciting the prayer services anywhere from zero or once a year to three times daily.

What is the Catholic benediction?

I assume that you are asking about the Rite of Benediction. The Benediction is used in the Presence of the Blessed Sacrament. Usually in a Catholic Benediction, mostly Latin prayers are recited, and songs that pertain to the Eucharist, such as "Tantum Ergo" composed by St. Thomas Aquinas, are used. The priest or clerical celebrant may form a procession around the walls of the Church, otherwise, the Blessed Sacrament is adored in the focal point of the Altar. Prayers and Chants are recited until the Blessed Sacrament is placed into Reposition, inside the Tabernacle.
