  • The position for reciting Krias Shema

The Gemara’s analysis of the machlokes regarding how Krias Shema must be recited. According to Beis Shammai, Krias Shema at night must be recited lying down and in the morning standing up. According to Beis Hillel, Shema can be recited in any position.

  • The number of berachos for Krias Shema

The fourth Mishnah of the perek discusses the number of berachos accompanying Krias Shema; three in the morning and four at night.

  • Birkas HaTorah

Since the Gemara lists the different versions of birkas haTorah, we recite them all before beginning to learn. 

Siman--Stars. A man lying down on the ground reciting Shema and all of its berachos looks up at the stars and sees the constellations in the shape of a Sefer Torah which reminds him to say birkas haTorah.
