Explanation of Mincha/Ma'ariv Times: The Talmud (Mishnah Berachot 4:1, Babylonian Talmud Berachot 26a) records a debate between Rabbi Judah, who says that the afternoon prayer (i.e. the Mincha Amidah) must be recited before Pelag Hamincha (1 ¼ relative hours before sunset) and "The Rabbis" who say that it may be recited up to sunset. The Talmud (Berachot 27b) presumes that if one allows praying Mincha up to sundown, one should not do Ma'ariv until after sundown. It further states that one can follow either the opinion of Rabbi Judah, or the Rabbis. This is understood by most medieval rabbis as meaning that one who prays Mincha after Pelag Hamincha should not do Ma'ariv until sunset (See e.g. Shulchan Aruch Orach Chayim 233). In order to make minyan times convenient and maximize our opportunity to pray as a congregation, our daily minyan follows Rabbi Judah's ruling during the summer (doing Mincha before Pelag Hamincha and saying the Ma'ariv Amidah any time after Pelag), and the Rabbis ruling during the winter (doing Mincha before sunset and Ma'ariv after sunset). In pressing circumstances, Ma'ariv may be done before sunset in the winter. (Shulchan Aruch Orach Chayim 233). However, under no circumstances should ma'ariv be done before Pelag Hamincha, as this is not night time according to any opinion. For further explanation, please see Rabbi Gradofsky.
