Beyodcha in shma al hamita?

growing up me and my siblings were taught that when saying shema al hamita we should repeat the last line of "beyodcha" three times. it wasn't until I started sleeping over at friends houses and going to overnight camp that I realized I was the only one who did that.

it definitely isn't a lubavitcher minhag (we're lubavitch.) my father, on the other hand, is from a chaseedisher background, and came to lubavitch as a bochur.

I'm curious if any of you chaseedishers out there have this minhag with beyadcha - maybe it came from my father's family. they were mostly minkatch and bobov.

anonymous because friends of mine know of this family minhag:)

All the other pesukim in that paragraph are repeated 3 times but that 1 isnt, maybe ur father made a mistake. My mother is from a chassidisher background and I never heard of such a a thing.

that's what I started thinking back then. I stopped saying it a few years before I got married and I asked dh about it and he never heard of it either.

I once did come across something in print about this, and there is a source for saying it three times. and yes it's a Lubavitcher source, I may be totally wrong but maybe one of the Rebbeim ( but can't remember where I read it, which article and what it said, but it's supposed to be a segula for something. sorry I'm of no help, but there are scholars, researchers we can ask).

The reason I do recall this, is that after I read the article, I started teaching my children to do that when they said Krias Shema. (It became a routine to say b'yodcha three times, then say yechi Wink

and then kiss the mezuzah). It may have been five to ten years ago at the time.

I'm lubavitch and was taught to say byodcha after shema too but not 3 times. we actually used to say lishuascha before that 3 times. I do it now with me daughter.
