AN ANGELIC INTERACTION !!!
Now here's a real ANGELIC classic! Before some of us go to sleep, we say a short prayer. It is called the bedtime Shma. At the end of the prayer we say these sentences three times, to protect us while we sleep. AND I QUOTE: "IN THE NAME OF HASHEM, GOD OF ISRAEL: MAY ARCHANGEL MICHAEL BE AT MY RIGHT, ARCHANGEL GABRIEL AT MY LEFT, ARCHANGEL URIEL BEFORE ME, AND ARCHANGEL RAFAEL BEHIND ME; AND ABOVE MY HEAD THE SHECHINA - THE PRESENCE OF GOD"!
After reading this article below, we might have more of a desire to repeat the sentences at bedtime. The incident is absolutely true, and actually happened. Shavua Tov - have a beautiful week! Namaste - Shalom.
How about a bit of chizuk? From: Hillel Levin A REAL HAPPENING!!!
An Arab was following a Chassidish lady in Jerusalem for about 20 minutes, after which he disappeared. The woman immediately called in his description to the police. They were able to make the arrest and brought him in for investigation, during which he revealed that he was planning to stab her but couldn't get close to her, since she had two big bullies on either side of her. After realizing these bullies weren't leaving her side, he gave up.
The police went back to the woman to confirm she was alone like she had told them. She confirmed she was alone, but said that the whole time the Arab was following her, she kept repeating a pasuk from the bedtime Shema :
״מימיני מיכאל ומשמאלי גבריאל״!!
"On my right side is the angel Micha-el and on my left side is the angel Gavriel"
״ועל ראשי, שכינת ק-ל״
"And above me, Hashem's Shechina"
HaShem Yishmor -- May Hashem protect us!
Good Shabbos!
