Yours or Ours

You are right. In the first verse of Sh'ma, it says that HaShem is OUR G-d. I don't remember saying "your" G-d, but if I did, perhaps I was thinking in context of the verses of the "v'ahavta" which follow the Sh'ma and which speak in the second person singular (You should love YOUR G-d with all YOUR heart, YOUR soul, YOUR might.)

YOUR GOD or OUR GOD?

Rabbi Tau,
You translated the Shema as, Hear oh Israel the Lord is ‘YOUR’ God the Lord is one. I thought it was ‘OUR’ God.
Please clarify.
Thank you.

Welcome Bob and may you continue to grow your connection to G-d in good health.

Firstly, Chabad.org has a wonderful blessing wizard.

Click here for the blessings for before and after the Torah reading.

At this link you can find select transliterated and translated prayers.

Finally, learning Hebrew is not hard, you may want to connect with the Chabad center in your city to set up a study session.

recorings of Blessings Shema, Mournere Kaddish

I have come back to Judaism after a lapse of 45 years, because of Chabad. I do not read Hebrew and would like to say my prayers in Hebrew including above and others such as prayer before and after reading of the Torah. Is there a site on Chabad.org like recording of Blessing of Bread? Please direct me to it Thanks
