An exploration of Judaism's most sacred statement and
world-changing idea. "Hear O Israel, the Eternal is Our God, the
Eternal is One " There is arguably no more important statement in
Judaism than the Sh'ma. Its words calling us to hear, to listen, to
pay attention defy direct translation and have meant different
things throughout history. In a deeply personal exploration of this
sacred proclamation, command, and prayer, Rabbi Joseph B. Meszler
delves into the spiritual history of the Sh ma, inspiring you to
claim your own personal meaning in these enduring words. By
examining how the Sh ma has been commented upon by ancient sages
and contemporary thinkers, he opens the doors between each
generation that has found a different dimension of truth in the Sh
ma. Each chapter focuses on a major historical figure and includes
a sacred story, an exploration into the story s many meanings, and
a suggestion for a new way of "hearing" the voice in the story.
