Passage some people say Maariv before dark, in which event they must recite the Shema once more after nightfall. true Passage 2. In any event, Chabad custom is to recite the Shema's three sections within the prayer before retiring to bed. true Passage 3. "Whoever recites the Shema before retiring to bed is as though guarded by a double-edged sword" (Berachot 5a). In former days, when Jews were enslaved and persecuted, as remains so nowadays in certain countries, nights were filled with terror and danger, and this teaching held especially true. Today as well, some people are distressed by another kind of terror—bad dreams and nightmares. Hence we recite the bedtime prayer, wherein we declare that God is One, He being Master of the world. We avow our love for God, and we may rest certain of God's love toward us, and feel safe beneath His protection. true Passage 4. When Tachnun is said on a given day, it is included in this prayer as well. On Motzaei Shabbat and Motzaei Rosh Hashanah, Tachnun is omitted should the prayer before retiring be offered before midnight. true heading SHABBAT heading PRINCIPAL LAWS FOR SHABBAT¹ Passage Which comprises some cautionary remarks and comments, so as to remove common and widespread pitfalls and unwitting errors that, in the view of many of the great Rishonim, amount to grave violations of Shabbat. true Passage Should a fly or other refuse fall into a cup or a plate, one ought not rely on the widely accepted halachic loophole (hetter), namely, extracting the matter with a spoon together with a little liquid. For that practice may entail a serious Shabbat violation, G-d forbid. The sole remedy is to pour liquid from the cup until the refuse pours out. One should refrain from blowing it out. It is, however, permitted to blow it toward the cup's side and then pour liquid from the cup until the refuse falls out; for inasmuch as one removes the refuse by grasping the cup with its contents and tipping it with one's hand, it is deemed "removing food from waste," which is allowed for immediate drinking [or eating, but not in preparation for a later meal]. Likewise, should refuse fall into a plate of gravy, it is forbidden to take it out with a spoon together with some gravy—or even to skim fat that floats upon its surface—since this amounts to removing "waste from food," a Shabbat violation. true Passage On Shabbat one should take great care not to eat beans, raw or cooked (called bub), that remain in their pods. For since the husk cannot be eaten, taking the bean from it constitutes—according to all authorities—extraction (mefarek), a derivative (toladah) of threshing (dahsh), an unmistakable violation of Shabbat, G-d forbid. This holds even if cooking already separated the beans from the husk so they are no longer attached. The same holds for sesame seeds. A pious soul should be stringent even concerning peas still in their pods, even though those pods may be eaten, for [removing them from their pods] is not necessarily permissible. true Passage One would do better to avoid walnuts and hazelnuts on Shabbat, unless they were taken from their shells before Shabbat.
