Shema Info
|
|
The Shema prayer is not simply the Jewish declaration of faith that G‑d exists. It is an affirmation that G‑d is the only true existence.

What is the source for it? Why do we add it to one of the most fundamental Jewish prayers, and why do we say it quietly?

It is crucial to have the proper intention when reciting the first verse of Shema, even more so than during other parts of prayer.

When one recites the Shema, he should do so tremulously, with concentration, reverence and awe, as people are wont to do when reading a new communication issued by the king.
