The Shema is a prayer that serves (יִשְׂרָאֵל שְׁמַע) Shema Yisrael as a centerpiece of the morning and evening Jewish prayer services. Observant Jews consider the Shema to be the most important part of the prayer service in Judaism, and its twice-daily recitation as a mitzvah. t is traditional for Jews to say the Shema as their last words, and for parents to teach their children to say it before they go to sleep at night. The Shema is only six words, but it contains two important concepts: that Adonai is our G-d and Adonai is the one G-d not just one among many. Originally, the Shema consisted of only one verse: Deuteronomy 6:4. Now it is the first part of the three portions: Deuteronomy 6:4–9, 11:13-21, and Numbers 15:37–41. .(Witness) עֵד Echad) – together spell) אֶחָד of ד Sh'ma) and) שְׁמַע of ע – The two large letters The words are written large in the Torah scroll.
