This Jewish prayer, like many others, is known by its opening words, ‘Shema Yisrael’ or, more simply, as the ‘Shema’. The prayer in fact consists of three biblical passages with just a single line of additional text inserted after the first line of the first passage.
The Shema is spoken at least twice a day by observant Jews, at morning and evening services. Many Jewish people also say it at night before going to bed. Shema Yisrael, Adonai Elohenu, Adonai Echad.
Shema means “hear, listen,” and is the first word of Deuteronomy 6:4. The Shema is spoken at least twice a day by observant Jews, at morning and evening services. Many Jewish people also say it at night before going to bed. Shema Yisrael, Adonai Elohenu, Adonai Echad. Baruch shem k’vod malchuto l’olam vaed. Hear O Israel!
Religious Jews recite the Shema prayer twice a day, upon arising in the morning and upon going to bed at night, and the prayer also forms an important part of the morning and evening prayer services. The opening line of the prayer is its most significant: Shema Yisra’el, Adonai Eloheinu, Adonai Echad.
