You have mentioned a prayer to be said after Shama in the evening that will keep away all evil and give protection, etc. We heard it in Hebrew and we don't speak Hebrew, or where can we find this prayer. Thank you.

Shalom, The prayer is called 'Kriat Shma Al Hamita' (Bed time Sh'ma) which is read right before one goes to sleep and can be found on most prayer books. First I would suggest to watch these two lectures where I explain a lot of details about this prayer. Firat lecture: Atzmut.com/how-to-fix-karet-shma-al-hamita Second lecture: Atzmut.com/kriyat-shma-al-hamita-prayer-retiring-night I would suggest to get the prayer book according to the text of the Ha-Ari Zal (Rabbi Isaac Luria) as his text has all the prayers that I mentioned. The prayer book can be purchased on this website kehotonline.com/products Anyone of the options are good, as long as you understand what you read. Please note that I am not associated or affiliated with this website in anyway All the best, Rabbi Alon Anava
