THE “SHMA ISRAEL” PRAYER: THE GREAT DECLARATION

The “ Shma prayer” is one of the most fundamental and ancient prayers in Judaism. It is also one of the most important. It is a text that on one level is a great declaration of faith.

On another level it is a statement of love and affection for our Creator. On yet another level it describes how , when and to whom these concepts must be transmitted. It describes as well , the impact of disconnecting from this Divine relationship. Finally, it even provides the symbolism of being connected to our past and our destiny through a seemingly minor type of apparel.

The prayer final ends with the following testament ;I, Hashem

( the L-rd) , am your G d… In Truth.

It is a prayer said at one's coming into this world, and also at the time of one's moving into another realm. It is said every day at least twice a day. It is said in times of Joy as we bring the Torah out of the ark and it is said as we stand at the brink of a martyr's death. And so much more..
