Question
Hello Rabbi,
Is it necessary for the Bedtime Shema to be recited while the person is in bed, or can it be done elsewhere in the house?
And how long after the person goes to bed should it be recited?
Answer
Hello Rabbi
There is no need to recite it directly on the bed.
It should be close to bedtime, meaning not to engage in other activities between the recitation and sleep.
