Shema
The Shema prayer is one of the most famous prayers in the Bible. It was a daily prayer for ancient Israelites and is still recited by Jewish people today.
“Hear, Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord is one!”
The Shema gets its name from the first Hebrew word of the prayer—“hear” or “listen,” a translation of the Hebrew word shema. Ancient Jewish people
combined lines from Deuteronomy with other passages from the Torah and prayed these words every morning and every evening. This prayer has been one of the most influential traditions in Jewish history, a prayer surely prayed by Jesus and his followers. We’ll examine this ancient prayer during the season of Lent. Join us in person at 10:30 a.m. or later in the day on YouTube.
