The Shema-prayer (Deuteronomy 6:4-9) expresses our belief in One God, our love for him, and the importance of the Torah and its commands. It is an affirmation of our part in the covenant with God. It is in the merit of this covenant that Judaism has continued to exist.

Because of its declaration of some of our major beliefs, it is the one prayer that the Torah itself commands us to say.
