Passage some people recite Maariv before dark, in which case they have to recite the Shema once again after nightfall. true Passage 2. In any case, it is the Chabad custom to recite all three sections of the Shema in the prayer before retiring to bed. true Passage 3. "He who reads the Shema before retiring to bed is as though he were protected by a double-edged sword" (Berachot 5a). In days bygone when Jews were enslaved and persecuted, as it is also true in modern times in certain countries, the nights were full of terror and danger, this statement was especially true. Today too, some people are troubled by a different kind of terror—bad dreams and nightmares. Thus, we say the prayer before retiring to bed, in which we declare that God is One, and that He is the Master of the world. We declare our love for God, and we can be certain of God's love for us, and feel secure under His protection. true Passage 4. On days when Tachnun is said, it is recited during this prayer too. On Motzaei Shabbat and Motzaei Rosh Hashanah, Tachnun is not recited if the prayer before retiring is said before midnight. true heading SHABBAT heading MAJOR LAWS FOR SHABBAT¹ Passage Which includes a few cautionary words and comments, in order to eliminate common and widespread stumbling blocks and involuntary errors that, according to many of the great Rishonim, constitute serious violations of Shabbat. true Passage If a fly or some other waste falls into a cup or a plate, one should not rely on the commonly accepted halachic loophole (hetter), namely, to remove the substance with a spoon while removing some liquid as well. For such a practice may involve a serious Shabbat violation, G-d forbid. The only solution is to spill liquid from the cup until the waste spills out. One should not blow it out. It is, however, permissible to blow it to the side of the cup and then spill liquid from the cup until the waste falls out; for since the waste is removed by holding the cup and its contents and tipping it with one's hand, it is considered "removing food from waste," which is permitted for immediate drinking [or eating, but not in preparation for a later meal]. Likewise, if waste fell into a plate of gravy, it is forbidden to remove it with a spoon along with some gravy—or even to skim the fat floating upon its surface—since this constitutes removing "waste from food," a violation of Shabbat. true Passage One should be very careful on Shabbat to refrain from eating raw or cooked beans (called bub) that are still in their pods. For since the husk is not edible, removing the bean from it constitutes—according to all authorities—extraction (mefarek), which is a derivative (toladah) of threshing (dahsh), a clear violation of Shabbat, G-d forbid. This applies even if the beans separated from the husk when they were cooked and are no longer attached. The same is true of sesame seeds. A pious soul should be stringent even with peas that are still in their pods, even though the pods are edible, for [removing them from their pods] is not necessarily permissible. true Passage It is preferable to refrain from eating walnuts and hazelnuts on Shabbat, unless they were removed from their shells before Shabbat.
