SF - The Secret of Shema Yisrael

The Secret of Shema Yisrael Judaism rests on three pillars of faith: the existence of HaShem, Torah is from Heaven, and the consequences of our deeds. These principles are alluded to in the three paragraphs of the Shema that we recite twice a day. The first paragraph contains the declaration of faith in the existence of HaShem and His unity: Hear O Israel HaShem is Elokenu HaShem is One. The second paragraph expresses that the Torah was given to us from HaShem: "These are the Mitzvos that I command  you today." The third paragraph reveals the concept of reward and punishment for man's actions: Klal Yisrael was rewarded for their faith in HaShem with the miraculous redemption from Egypt, while the Egyptians were punished for refusing to comply with HaShem's will to free Klal Yisrael. Lesson: The awareness of these three principles helps us to grasp the essence of Torah and enhance our commitment both in thought and deed. App: Reflect on the three principles of faith when you recite the Shema. By reviewing the principles on a daily basis they will strengthen your faith, improve your observance, and inspire you to do good deeds.    (Based on the commentary of Maharsaha to Brachos 13) Click Here  to view the Salant Mussar Library Collection L"N Rav Yochanon Mordecai Ben Ephraim and Moras Esther Leach bas Yehudah Refuah Shleimah Yochanon Baruch ben Fruma Ettta Leiba Zlota bas Chana  Riva bas Henya Zivia bas Raizel Leah Hadassah bas Michal Chana Chava Bas Michal Chanah Harriet Bat Sophie Lee Mier chai ben margalit j"avayeer Leah dina bat Ziporah  Rina bat Sara  Mazal Malkah Mollie Bas Sarah STAY CONNECTED:
