Evening Shema
Evening · 1 min
The Shema is said twice daily, "when you lie down and when you rise". The bedtime Shema is the evening half: the first paragraph, often with a short blessing, said before sleep. It is one of the last things a Jew says each day.
The day opens with Modeh Ani and closes with the Shema. That symmetry is deliberate: the same declaration frames waking and sleeping. Saying it at night is a way of handing back the day, worries included, and going to sleep in trust rather than in a scroll.
