The Shema is the basic Hebrew prayer cited by Jesus of Nazareth in the synoptic Gospels. It is a self-evident prayer for all.
"שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל יְיָ אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ יְיָ אֶחָד"
(Sh'ma Yisra'eil Adonai Eloheinu Adonai echad)
Hear, Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One. -Deuteronomy 6:4
Love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord. -Leviticus 19:18
Would we have the tragedies in Gaza if the Shema were remembered, understood, and felt?
