Question

Hello, A person who prays in a late Maariv minyan and wants to recite Shema so that he can study in the meantime. How should he recite it? 1. Should he say the blessings of the Shema? 2. Which sections should he recite to fulfill the obligation of reading?

Answer

Hello

It is not correct to separate the recitation of Shema and its blessings from the prayer, as one should connect redemption to prayer.

The correct approach is to appoint a guard - a person who will remind you to pray after studying, or to set an alarm with a reminder to pray.
