# If one didn’t repeat Shema after [[Tzet HaKochavim]] one must say all three paragraphs and should have the proper intent to fulfill one’s obligation. <ref>Mishna Brurah 239:1 </ref> | # If one didn’t repeat Shema after [[Tzet HaKochavim]] one must say all three paragraphs and should have the proper intent to fulfill one’s obligation. <ref>Mishna Brurah 239:1 </ref> | ||
# You also say the ברכה of המפיל, and you add pasukim and מזמורים after it. One should follow the order of the siddur of one’s minhag. Some say that you say this ברכה before שמע, some say you say it at the end of all the תפילה. Some say that you should say it right after שמע. The Sephardic minhag is to say the Bracha before Shema. <Ref> Mishna Brurah 239:2 writes that the people who say that you should say it before and everything else after don’t have to worry about it being a הפסק because it's all a שמירה and that isn't a הפסק. And the one who says that you say it after שמע goes like the S”A in סעיף א and then you say ישב and it isn't a הפסק because it is a שמירה. Yalkut Yosef (Brachot pg 667) writes that the Sephardic minhag is to say the Bracha before Shema. </ref> | # You also say the ברכה of המפיל, and you add pasukim and מזמורים after it.
