Shema Yisrael (Hear, O Israel), the prayer that serves as a centerpiece in the morning and evening Jewish prayers was an essential part of the liturgy in the time of Jesus. In The Gospel of Mark 12:29-30, Jesus considers this to be the first of his two greatest commandments. The Shema is taken from Deuteronomy 6:4 and is a declaration of faith: "Hear O Israel, YHVH is our God, YHVH is One". The tetragrammaton (Greek for four letters) of YHVH is from the Hebrew root word of Being and implies Existence beyond time, space and person.

Was Jesus Christ Jewish?
to judge by community standards, that is, by the standards of those who lived in the same vicinity, Jesus was Jewish.It is clear that the people around Jesus would have accepted him as Jewish. He was born to a Jewish mother who lived in a Jewish community, so barring a miracle, everyone would have assumed that both parents were Jewish.All the evidence of the Gospels suggests that Jesus hung out with Jews most of the time and had very little interaction with non-Jews. He preached to a Jewish audience using Jewish scriptures. He spent lots of time in synagogues arguing about the meaning of Jewish texts. Even his tirades against Pharisees are typical of what is known about other Pharisees and their debates with each other.And finally, the message taught by Jesus, as recorded in the Gospels, is largely typical of the messages taught by other Pharisees. The teaching method, using parables, is quite typical of many of the other Pharisees, and even where Jesus teachings are out of line with what the majority of Pharisees taught, they are rarely outside the pale. What Christians call the Great Commandment and the Golden Rule are perfectly in line with contemporary Pharisees, notably Rabbi Hillel. Even the Lord's Prayer" is comparable to various Jewish abridgements of the Amidah (the central prayer of Jewish liturgy) suggested as appropriate for someone who needs to pray but is pressed for time.
How was Jesus Christ born under the law?
