The Shema is an
affirmation of Judaism and a declaration of faith in one
God. The obligation to recite the Shema is separate from
the obligation to pray and a Jew is obligated to say Shema
in the morning and at night
-- (Deut. 6:7)

| On
one side of the pendant the Shema is written in
Hebrew the holy language of the Torah [Bible].
God is more here than we
sense. In fact, God, for the sake of allowing man to
have and use his free-will, allows the world to mask
His Being so much so that human beings can even doubt
His Existence.

Throughout
the ages, the cry of Shema has always symbolized the
ultimate manifestation of faith in the gravest situations.
With the Shema on their lips, Jews accepted martyrdom at the
Inquisitor's stake and in the Nazi gas chambers. Rabbi Akiva
patiently endured while his flesh was being torn with
iron combs, and died reciting the Shema. He pronounced the
last word of the sentence, "Echad" (one) with his last
breath (Talmud Berachot 61b). The
Talmud says that when
Jacob was about to reveal the end of days to his children,
he was concerned that one of them might be a non-believer.
His sons reassured him immediately and cried out, "Shema Yisrael."
We are commanded to say
the Shema twice each day: once in the morning and again in
the evening. This requirement is derived from the verse:
"And you should speak about them when you... lie down and
when you get up" (Deut. 6:7). The
Talmud explains that when you "lie down and when you get up"
does not refer to the literal position of one's
body, but rather designates the time of day to say the Shema
(Brachot 10b). |
