News and commentary on issues in Reform Judaism and issues of concern to Reform Jews. With a minyan , the chazzan repeats the end of the Shema so this phrase is unnecessary. Jewish law requires a greater measure of concentration on the first verse of the Shema than on the rest of the prayer. People commonly close their eyes or cover them with the palm of their hand while reciting it to eliminate every distraction and help them concentrate on the meaning of the words.
The final word, echad , should be prolonged and emphasized. Often, the last letter of the first and last words of the Shema verse are written in larger print in the siddur. This is because these letters form the word " ed ," witness, and remind Jews of their duty to serve as witnesses to God's sovereignty by leading exemplary lives.
The next line of the Shema originated in the ancient Temple service. When the priests recited the first verse of the Shema during the service each morning, the people gathered in the Temple would respond "Blessed is the name of His Glorious Majesty forever and ever" Barukh shem kvod malkhuto l'olam va-ed. This line became incorporated as the second line of the daily Shema.
To indicate that it is not part of the Biblical passage of the Shema , it is said quietly, except for on Yom Kippur when it is recited out loud. The three paragraphs of the Shema , comprised of biblical verses, were also said in the daily Temple service. The first paragraph is the continuation of the Shema verse, from Deuteronomy 6: This section consists of an affirmation of belief in God's unity and in His sovereignty over the world, an unconditional love of God, and a commitment to the study of His teachings.
It emphasizes the religious duties to love God, to teach Torah to one's children, to talk of Torah at every possible time, to put on tefillin , and to place mezuzot on the doorpost of one's home. The second passage is from Deuteronomy It talks of the fundamental principle in Jewish belief of reward and punishment that is based on the fulfillment of God's commandments.
The third paragraph is from Numbers It mentions the exodus from Egypt, which Jews are obligated to refer to each day. The last word of the Shema , " emet " truth is actually part of the next blessing and is not part of the Biblical passage. It is said as part of the Shema so that one can declare, "Hashem, your God, is true" Adonai eloheichem emet. In Reform prayer books, the second paragraph of the Shema is often omitted because the doctrine of retribution is different in the Reform movement. The third paragraph is also left out because Reform Jews do not accept the commandment regarding fringes.
Reform prayer books do include the end of this third section, from Numbers To Pray as a Jew: The Complet Artscroll Siddur. Mesorah Publications, Ltd, Cardin, Rabbi Nina Beth. The Tapestry of Jewish Time.
