When is Shema Yisrael recited?

Q: When is Shema Yisrael recited?

Twice a day: morning and evening, and also before sleep The Shema is recited twice daily: in the morning (Shacharit) and evening (Arvit) prayer services, fulfilling the verse 'when you lie down and when you rise up.' Additionally, it is recited before going to sleep (Kriat Shema Al HaMitah). The full Shema includes three paragraphs from the Torah covering love of God, reward and punishment, and the commandment of tzitzit.
