Editing Judah ha-Nasi (section)

====His prayers====
While teaching Torah, Judah would often interrupt the lesson to recite the [[Shema Yisrael]]. He passed his hand over his eyes as he said it.<ref>Berachot 13b</ref>

When 70-year-old wine cured him of a protracted illness, he prayed: "Blessed be the Lord, who has given His world into the hands of guardians".<ref>Avodah Zarah 40b</ref>

He privately recited daily the following supplication on finishing the obligatory prayers: "May it be Thy will, my God and the God of my fathers, to protect me against the impudent and against impudence, from bad men and bad companions, from severe sentences and severe plaintiffs, whether a son of the covenant or not."<ref>Berachot 6b; compare Shabbat 30b</ref>
