What is the “SHEMA”?

The Hebrew word Shema means “listen” or “hear” with the idea of listening to be obedient. The Shema we recite comes from Deuteronomy 6:4 (and related texts) and is the closest Judaism comes to a confession of faith. Yeshua, our Messiah spoke the Shema when asked what command was the greatest (Mark 12:28-30). We stand as we thoughtfully recite the Shema since it declares our faith in the One G-d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
