Line 1: − '''Shema''', otherwise known as 'Sh'ma Yisrael' (Hebrew: שמע ישראל; "Hear, [O] Israel") are the opening two words of a passage in the Torah, which is used as a focal point for Jewish prayer services, and encapsulates the monotheistic message of Judaism. It is often considered to be the most important prayer in Judaism, and twice-daily recitation of it is a [[mitzvah]].+ − − It is found in Deuteronomy 6:4-5: − − 'Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength' − − It is also a very important concept in Christianity. When asked what the most important commandment in Christianity was, Jesus replied that this was the greatest commandment, and that, together with the [[Golden Rule]], they formed the summation of Christian teaching.
