Shacharit [ʃaχaˈʁit] (Hebrew: שַחֲרִית šaḥăriṯ),^[1] or Shacharis in Ashkenazi Hebrew, is the morning tefillah (prayer) of Judaism, one of the three daily prayers.

Different traditions identify different primary components of Shacharit. Essentially all agree that pesukei dezimra, the Shema Yisrael and its blessings, and the Amidah are major sections. Some identify the preliminary blessings and readings, as a first, distinct section. Others say that Tachanun is a separate section, as well as the concluding blessings.^[2] On certain days, there are additional prayers and services added to shacharit, including Mussaf and a Torah reading.
