How is the two-way responsibility of the covenant between God and Israel reflected in the Shema?
Elzo97
Hear (listen; understand) O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One (Deuteronomy 6:4). This verse is central to Judaism probably more than any other single verse. It summarizes our belief.
Our side of the covenant: the first two words of the Shema are in the imperative: a command. They tell us to think about God, to be aware of Him, and never to lose sight of His oneness and uniqueness. The verse is obliquely warning us against idolatry; which, to those who later went astray (Judges ch.2), became the gateway for other sins as well.
God's side of the covenant: the Shema calls the Lord "our God," referring to God's considering us as a treasure (Exodus 19:5).

What was the covenant between the Isralites and Moses?
I think the covenant was between Israel and God. When the children of Israel arrived at Sinai that was the beginning of the nation of Israel. God had set them apart from other nations and He asked for their obedience...... "if you will obey.......the you will be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine". (Exodus 19:5-8). "And all the people answered All that the LORD has spoken we will do."
The outward sign of the covenant between God and the Hebrews was?
In the Old Testament, the covenant between Yahweh and His people Israel (the Hebrews) progressed through multiple stages, and at least two signs were attached to it. When God called Abraham and established a covenant with Abraham and his descendants, He appointed circumcision as the sign of the covenant: "You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be the sign of the covenant between me and you" (Genesis 17:11 ESV). Circumcision is the most prominent "sign" of the covenant between God and the Hebrews. However, at Mount Sinai, God also established the Sabbath as a sign or token of His covenant with Israel; see Exodus 31:12-18 and Ezekiel 20:11-20. (Earlier on, the rainbow had functioned as the sign of God's covenant with Noah and his family; see Gen. 9:17.)

What is new covenant?
In Scripture a Covenant is a binding, usually written, guarantee provided by God to His people similar to a written Constitution as we know it today.In Christianity this guarantee or Constitution is called the New Covenant and it came into effect at the Last Supper "'this cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood." (Luke Ch.2The New Covenant: "Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not like the covenant which I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant which they broke, though I was their husband, says the Lord. But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it upon their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And no longer shall each man teach his neighbour and each his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, says the Lord; for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more."(Jeremiah Ch 31)In summary the New Covenant is a written guarantee that, from the time it came into effect, there will be no more intermediaries like Moses and the prophets and God again deals directly with each one of his people like He did at the beginning because the sin of Adam no longer applies.AnswerMandate of Israel: If you carefully note the target audience in Yirmiyahu, you'll notice that it is Israel that G-D is addressing. The New Covenant/Contract is supposed to superimpose Adonai's old covenant with Israel. It is still Israel who is going to be the owner of the other half of this New Covenant. Yeshua decreed this New Covenant on behalf of Israel during his last SEDER in his official capacity as the Christ/Maschiach of the Congregation/Kingdom of Israel.++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
