The Secret of Shema Yisrael
"Hear Yisrael, HaShem Elokenu HaShem is One"
The concept of the word "One" in "Shema Yisrael" connotes " love and brotherhood." Meaning, that HaShem is absolute pure love and compassion, with no judgement, whatsoever. What's more, the love and compassion of HaShem is boundless. The unity of HaShem unifies all of His attributes of love into "One" immutable Source of Love.
Lesson: The secret of reciting Shema Yisrael is to recognize HaShem's boundless love and to accept with love His Kingship upon yourself.
Visualization: Envision Moshe Rabenu leading all of Klal Yisael in reciting Shema Yisrael. Sense the boundless love of HaShem, and the heartfelt love that Klal Yisrael expresses for Him in return. (Based on Da'as Torah of Rav Yerucham of Mir)
