71. וּפַחַד שֶׁל קִטְרוּג הַנְּשָׁמוֹת, כְּשֶׁרוֹצוֹת לַעֲלוֹת לְמַעְלָה כְּדֵי לְהֵרָאוֹת לִפְנֵי רִבּוֹנָם. וְלָכֵן אָנוּ מַקְדִּימִים “שׁוֹמֵר אֶת עַמּוֹ יִשְׂרָאֵל לָעַד אָמֵן”. פַּחַד שֶׁל כַּמָּה מַזִּיקִים וְקִטְרוּגִים שֶׁנִּמְצָאִים בַּלַּיְלָה, וְיֵשׁ לָהֶם רְשׁוּת לְהַזִּיק לְמִי שֶׁיּוֹצֵא הַחוּצָה מִשַּׁעַר בֵּיתוֹ, וְלָכֵן אָנוּ מַקְדִּימִים “וּשְׁמֹר צֵאתֵנוּ וּבֹאֵנוּ”.
72. וְעַל כָּל זֶה, מִתּוֹךְ פַּחַד שֶׁל כָּל זֶה אָנוּ מַפְקִידִים הַגּוּפוֹת, הָרוּחוֹת וְהַנְּשָׁמוֹת לַמַּלְכוּת הָעֶלְיוֹנָה, שֶׁשִּׁלְטוֹן הַכֹּל בְּיָדֶיהָ, וְעַל זֶה תְּפִלַּת עַרְבִית בְּכָל לַיְלָה וְלַיְלָה. עַתָּה שֶׁקָרְבָּנוֹת וּמִזְבְּחוֹת לֹא נִמְצְאוּ, אָנוּ עוֹשִׂים כָּל הַתִּקּוּנִים שֶׁאָנוּ עוֹשִׂים עַל הַסּוֹד הַזֶּה.

Zohar Teruma
#71
The souls that leaves the body at night have the fear of dealing with the negative entities of the other side. We prepare ourselves for that in the Evening prayer. Before we enter the prayer of Amida, Silent prayer, world of Atziluth, we say a blessing “בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה’ שׁומֵר עַמּו יִשרָאֵל לָעַד”, “Blessed you are YHVH, protector of his people, Israel.”
After the Amida we read Psalms 121, ‘שיר למעלות’ that include six times the root of the word for protection ‘שמר’.
#72
Because of the fear of the soul to go up at night and get hurt with judgments during the night, we add the prayer of bedtime. The PDF below explains the prayer in details. The shortest version for protection is to recite Ana B’Koach, Shema Israel and the verse The last thing that we say
Psalms 31:6
“בְּיָדְךָ אַפְקִיד רוּחִי פָּדִיתָה אוֹתִי יְהוָה אֵל אֱמֶת”
“Into Your hand I commit my soul; You have ransomed me, O YHVH, God of truth.”
Transliteration: “Beyadcha afkid ruchi padita oti adonai el emet”
When we commit our soul in the hands of God, we have his protection and guaranteed that our soul will return to us in the morning.
While you may do the bedtime prayer shortly before you go to sleep, these words should be the last thing we say before going to sleep. If we wake up at night and go back to sleep then we need to repeat this verse only to resume the protection.
Today is Rosh Chodesh Adar, the last month of the year (Hebrew calendar) and we are before Shabbat Teruma that is about giving donations to build the Holy Tabernacle.
If you didn’t give tithe and or donations this week then it would be a good time to do so and expand your vessel for the Light of this Shabbat and the month of Adar that expresses the Light of the entire year to draw energy of joy and happiness.

Make donations to your your favorite channels of light.
