Moses then told the Jewish people that the proper response to G‑d’s self-revelation through the Torah is to fulfill His commandments out of love.
How to Love G‑d
וְאָהַבְתָּ אֵת ה' אֱלֹקֶיךָ בְּכָל לְבָבְךָ וגו':
(דברים ו:ה)
[Moses told the Jewish people that if they contemplate G‑d’s presence in their lives,] “You will love G‑d with all your heart.”
Deuteronomy 6:5
If someone loves G‑d, he does not need to be told to do so; if he does not love G‑d, telling him to will not change his mind. Therefore, both the medieval sage Rabbi Moses Maimonides and the founder of Chasidism, Rabbi Yisrael Ba’al Shem Tov, explain this verse to be both a commandment and a promise. We are commanded to contemplate the unity of G‑d, which is described in the preceding verse – ”Hear, O Israel, G‑d is our G‑d, G‑d is one.” If we meditate on the meaning of this verse deeply enough, we are assured that will we indeed thereby come to love G‑d.1
”Hear, O Israel, G‑d is our G‑d, G‑d is one.” I think the continued use of this translation/interpretation and the punctuation, is not correct. It promotes separation not unity of us and our source.
