Hilchos Krias Shema She’al Hamitah
In the previous Halacha we stated that when removing shoes at night one should simply remove the left shoe first, and then the right. Many readers emailed asking if in fact one should first untie the right, then untie and remove the left, and then remove the right. We therefore clarify: that is not the opinion of the Shulchan Aruch. The SA (2:5) states simply remove the left and then the right. This understanding of the SA is accepted by the Piskei Tshuvos 2:7, S’U Oz Nidbiru 5:26, and S’U Tiferes Odom 3:1, and Birrur Halacha Tinyana who states that this is the correct psak according to the simple reading of all the Achronim.
After saying Krias Shema one should say the following pesukim and tefilos mentioned by the Shulchan Aruch (printed in most siddurim) which protect a person, followed by Hamapil;
a) (Vehi Noam etc., &) Yoishev Besaiser Elyon etc.
b) Hashem Moh Rabu Tzoroy etc.
c) Boruch Hashem Bayom etc.
d) Vayomer Hashem El Hasoton etc.
e) Hashem Shom’recha etc.
f) Biyad’cha Afkid Ruchi etc.
g) Yevorechicha Hashem V’Yishmirecha etc. (according to some, say 3 times)
h) Hashkivainu etc. (from Maariv – without the beracha at the end)

Parnassah Self-Help
Segulah for Parnasah – For This Tuesday – Parshas Hamon
Reb Menachem Mendel M’Riminov (1755-1815, one of four primary talmidim of The Noam Elimelech) writes in Lechem Avirim that saying Parshas Ha’mon (Shnayim Mikroh V’Echod Targum – Hebrew twice and the Aramaic once) on Tuesday of Parshas Be’Shalach, (from Perek 16, Possuk 4 until Shevi’i) is a Segulah for Parnasah. Parshas Hamon can be found in most siddurim after tefillas Shachris, or Click this link for the complete text of Parshas Ha’mon: ParshasHamonLink
{The power of Emunah through understanding of the Parshas Hamon is discussed in Yalkut Shimoni Shemos 17: 247 & 258}
